Disputes and communication
Hi, WikiInspector, I have protected Mexico because of the dispute there. It's good that you're using edit summaries, but you should communicate on talk pages. When you are in a dispute, it's important that you attempt to explain your edits on the relevant talk page. Let me know if you have any questions whatsoever. You can contact me at User talk:Swarm. Thanks! Swarm talk  07:58, 18 November 2018 (UTC)

Edit warring
Your recent editing history 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.--Ermenrich (talk) 00:33, 30 November 2018 (UTC)

Vandalism - removed templates
These maintenance templates, do not need any consensus to insert it into the article. Before the consensus to delete templates or solving the problem, none of the users has the right to delete templates from article, according to the rules of the Wikipedia. This is the second and last warning. Next time - if you delete templates - your account will be reported for blocking. PS. Please avoid personal attacks per Wikipedia:No personal attacks, writing about the citizenship, views, religions etc of another user in the discussion is not allowed.

This is the final warning that you will receive regarding your disruptive edits. The next time you vandalize a page, you may be blocked from editing without further notice. Subtropical -man (talk / en-2 ) 21:24, 13 January 2019 (UTC)

Your recent editing history at List of countries and dependencies by area shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war; that means that you are repeatedly changing content back to how you think it should be, when you have seen that other editors disagree. 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.

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war&#32; according to the reverts you have made on Australia; that means that you are repeatedly changing content back to how you think it should be, when you have seen that other editors disagree. Users are expected to collaborate with others, to avoid editing disruptively, and to try to reach a consensus, rather than repeatedly undoing other users' edits once it is known that there is a disagreement.

Points to note: If you find yourself in an editing dispute, use the article's talk page to discuss controversial changes and work towards a version that represents consensus among editors. You can post a request for help at an appropriate noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, it may be appropriate to request temporary page protection. If you engage in an edit war, you may be blocked from editing.  Aussie Legend  ( ✉ ) 05:39, 14 January 2019 (UTC)
 * 1) Edit warring is disruptive regardless of how many reverts you have made;
 * 2) Do not edit war even if you believe you are right.


 * Before making any more edits I suggest that you familiarise yourself with WP:BRD, which is the process that we generally follow when edits are contested. This involves actually discussing contested edits, with the aim of reaching a solution that is agreeable to most, and preferably all, interested parties. This is called building consensus and is how most decisions are made. This is regardless of whether or not you think you are correct. Part of this process involves WP:STATUSQUO, which says "if you make an edit which is good-faith reverted, do not simply reinstate your edit – leave the status quo up, or try an alternative way to make the change that includes feedback from the other editor." Persistently restoring your preferred edits to an article, as you have been doing at both Australia and List of countries and dependencies by area gets nowhere and is more than likely to result in a block, duiring which time you will not be able to edit Wikipedia at all. -- Aussie Legend  ( ✉ ) 06:10, 14 January 2019 (UTC)

Notice of Edit warring noticeboard discussion
Hello. This message is being sent to inform you that there is currently a discussion involving you at Administrators' noticeboard/Edit warring regarding a possible violation of Wikipedia's policy on edit warring. Thank you. Lasunncty (talk) 07:26, 16 January 2019 (UTC)

You have been blocked from editing for a period of 24 hours for edit warring, as you did at List of countries and dependencies by area. Once the block has expired, you are welcome to make useful contributions. 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. If you think there are good reasons for being unblocked, please read the guide to appealing blocks, then add the following text below the block notice on your talk page:. The full report is at the edit warring noticeboard. Thank you, EdJohnston (talk) 06:02, 17 January 2019 (UTC)

Please stop your disruptive editing. If you continue to disrupt Wikipedia, as you did at Wikipedia:Templates for discussion/Log/2019 February 11, you may be blocked from editing. If you remove the TfD notice or discussion again, you will be blocked. -- ferret (talk) 01:54, 12 February 2019 (UTC)
 * If you are engaged in an article content dispute with another editor, discuss the matter with the editor at their talk page, or the article's talk page, and seek consensus with them. Alternatively you can read Wikipedia's dispute resolution page, and ask for independent help at one of the relevant notice boards.
 * If you are engaged in any other form of dispute that is not covered on the dispute resolution page, seek assistance at Wikipedia's Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents.

You have been blocked from editing for a period of 72 hours for persistently making disruptive edits. Once the block has expired, you are welcome to make useful contributions. If you think there are good reasons for being unblocked, please read the guide to appealing blocks, then add the following text below the block notice on your talk page:. -- ferret (talk) 01:55, 12 February 2019 (UTC)
