Welcome to Wikipedia. A page you recently created may not conform to some of Wikipedia's guidelines for new pages, so it will shortly be removed (if it hasn't been already). Please use the sandbox for any tests. For more information about creating articles, you may want to read Your first article. You may also want to read our introduction page to learn more about contributing. McWomble (talk) 01:59, 30 November 2008 (UTC)

Ownership of articles
Per this:

Even if you are the creator of some Wikipedia entries, you do not own them. See WP:OWN - all changes are discussed and determined by consensus. If you disagree with other editors' actions, I suggest you discuss your issues with them civilly instead of reverting their edits. I understand it can be very frustrating when other editors will not accept your point of view, but I have also found that the best way to resolve conflicts is by contributing in active, progressive discussion.

Thank you for your time,

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war. Note that the three-revert rule prohibits making more than three reversions on a single page within a 24 hour period. Additionally, users who perform a large number of reversions in content disputes may be blocked for edit warring, even if they do not technically violate the three-revert rule. If you continue, you may be blocked from editing. Please do not repeatedly revert edits, but use the talk page to work towards wording and content that gains a consensus among editors. If necessary, pursue dispute resolution. CIreland (talk) 02:10, 30 November 2008 (UTC)

Per the above, you've been blocked for 12 hours. Blueboy96 02:14, 30 November 2008 (UTC)Huh?

Why would you block me? I did nothing wrong. I did NOT violate the 3RR so I feel that you unjustly blocked me. I did no edit warring either because I just felt that we needed an article so I posted it there. Only TWICE if you count it right, and I have tried to be civil with Narutopinatalover5? or someone, so I feel you need to chill and unblock me because I violated NO rules.

Q

Okay, my bad, three times. I did not know sorry. But I thought that the 3RR applied if you reverted MORE than three times not three times exactly. Was I wrong?

Block and unblock
If you want an administrator to review your block, you can place the text anywhere on your talk page and an administrator (not the same one that blocked you) will review the block. As for the "edit warring" accusation, three reverts is a strict limit, not an entitlement. In other words, you can edit war without reverting 4 or more times a day but reverting more than three times is liable to bring a swift block down with little discussion.

It seems to me like you are having a lot of trouble jumping in to Wikipedia. I understand this. We have tens of thousands of editors and millions of articles so we need a few rules in place in order to keep things from getting out of hand. You just happened to run afoul of the rules on article inclusion. It's ok. Take a look at Your first article for some pointers on how to avoid these pitfalls in the future. My advice is to edit existing articles for a little while until you get a feel for how things work. Then you can start making new articles on things. You aren't required to follow that advice, of course, but there are a lot of articles out there that could use your help.

If you need any help (aside from unblocking), feel free to say something on this talk page or place Help me on your talk page and someone else will be along to answer your question (if you don't want me answering it). Thanks and I hope we can welcome you back upon the expiry of your block. Protonk (talk) 02:29, 30 November 2008 (UTC)
