Edit warring & 3 revert rule at Karen Handel
Your recent editing history at Karen Handel 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.--DynaGirl (talk) 13:11, 20 June 2017 (UTC)

Okay, got you - kind of relieved someone stepped in - was getting rapidly disillusioned on day one of having a Wikipedia account! Will behave...TheOaks (talk) 13:50, 20 June 2017 (UTC)
 * TheOaks, since this is day one of your account, I feel obligated to tell you that I hope we won't see edits and edit summaries like this one. Needless to say, admitted no partisan motivation; you are the one who ascribed that to them, contrary to one of our fundamental principles, Assume good faith. Now, I see y'all are talking this over on the talk page--that's a good thing, thank you. Drmies (talk) 14:54, 20 June 2017 (UTC)
