June 2017
Hello, I'm Walter Görlitz. I noticed that you made a change to an article, C. S. Lewis, but you didn't provide a reliable source. It's been removed and archived in the page history for now, but if you'd like to include a citation and re-add it, please do so! If you need guidance on referencing, please see the referencing for beginners tutorial, or if you think I made a mistake, you can leave me a message on my talk page. As I stated when I initially reverted, please take this change to the article's talk page. Walter Görlitz (talk) 14:59, 16 June 2017 (UTC)

Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. You appear to be repeatedly reverting or undoing other editors' contributions at C. S. Lewis. Although this may seem necessary to protect your preferred version of a page, on Wikipedia this is known as "edit warring" and is usually seen as obstructing the normal editing process, as it often creates animosity between editors. Instead of reverting, please discuss the situation with the editor(s) involved and try to reach a consensus on the talk page.

If editors continue to revert to their preferred version they are likely to be blocked from editing Wikipedia. This isn't done to punish an editor, but to prevent the disruption caused by edit warring. In particular, editors should be aware of the three-revert rule, which says that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Edit warring on Wikipedia is not acceptable in any amount, and violating the three-revert rule is very likely to lead to a block.

''Your first change to "Irish" was your first revert. You have made two others. There is a lengthy discussion on the talk page about this. You elected to edit war rather than discuss. That's your choice. Other editors monitor the article as well and they will revert your change. You might want to see why that wording was chosen. Cheers.''

Your edits to C. S. Lewis
Your recent editing history at C. S. Lewis shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war. To resolve the content dispute, please do not revert or change the edits of others when you are reverted. Instead of reverting, please use the talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. The best practice at this stage is to discuss, not edit-war. 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.

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.

You're on thin ice
I'm very close to blocking you for disruptive editing. Your first batch of edits, on June 8, consisted of unconstructive messing around, and now you're edit warring about C. S. Lewis's nationality. Consider this your final warning—any more of this behavior and you'll be blocked for an indefinite period. Deor (talk) 17:28, 16 June 2017 (UTC)
