Please stop restoring unsupported material and deleting sourced material from this article. Thanks! Agricola44 (talk) 02:54, 1 July 2014 (UTC)

It's not unsupported material, as I think you know. See talk. Please play fair. Noy

Your recent editing history at Peter Lynds shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war. Being involved in an edit war can result in your being blocked from editing&mdash;especially if you violate the three-revert rule, which states that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Undoing another editor's work—whether in whole or in part, whether involving the same or different material each time—counts as a revert. Also keep in mind that while violating the three-revert rule often leads to a block, you can still be blocked for edit warring&mdash;even if you don't violate the three-revert rule&mdash;should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly.

To avoid being blocked, instead of reverting please consider using the article's talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. See BRD for how this is done. If discussions reach an impasse, you can then post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection. § FreeRangeFrog croak 22:30, 1 July 2014 (UTC)

You have been blocked from editing for a period of 31 hours for edit warring, as you did at Peter Lynds. Once the block has expired, you are welcome to make useful contributions. If you think there are good reasons why you should be unblocked, you may appeal this block by adding the following text below this notice:. However, you should read the guide to appealing blocks first. During a dispute, you should first try to discuss controversial changes and seek consensus. If that proves unsuccessful, you are encouraged to seek dispute resolution, and in some cases it may be appropriate to request page protection. § FreeRangeFrog croak 22:41, 1 July 2014 (UTC)

Hi FreerangeFrog. I understand the block for edit warring, so won't request it be lifted. I don't understand though why you reverted to Agricola's version. If you look at the original version of the page, Agricola's edit, and the talk page and our exchanges, I think it's fairly evident that Agricola and the other editor aren't editing in good faith.
 * That needs to be worked out amongst you, but simply reverting over and over again is not the solution. I've recommended that this be taken to dispute resolution instead, where it should have had a resolution that doesn't include blocking accounts or any other drama. Also, please sign your posts! § FreeRangeFrog croak 00:29, 2 July 2014 (UTC)

Thanks FreeRangeFrog. That sounds like a great suggestion. Wouldn't it make sense though for the original page to be up while this goes on so that people can enter into a discussion about it? Especially considering that it seems to have been mostly stable, and Agricola's version is so different to it (and as our edit war suggests, hasn't been so stable!) I also see that Agricola and the other editor want the page deleted. There should really be something there for people to consider deleting! Agricola's version is just a short stub.SamW2 (talk) 01:07, 2 July 2014 (UTC)
