Hello, just a heads up about WP:3RR
Hi there, sorry to stop by under these circumstances, but I wanted to make sure you were aware of the so-called "three revert rule." It can be found at WP:3RR. It says that you can't make more than three reverts in any 24 hour period (with narrow exceptions). A revert, in this case, is defined as one edit or a series of edits changing or deleting another editors' work. Violations often lead to short-term blocks. I'd also like to remind you that when content is disputed, the editor seeking to include bears the onus to demonstrate consensus. Cheers and happy editing. Dumuzid (talk) 02:35, 22 March 2023 (UTC)

March 2023
You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war&#32; according to the reverts you have made on January 6 United States Capitol attack. This means that you are repeatedly changing content back to how you think it should be although 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. –– Formal Dude   (talk)  02:51, 22 March 2023 (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.

 You have been blocked indefinitely from editing because it appears that you are not here to build an encyclopedia. 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:.

Hi Admin, there seemed to have been some vandalism activity on my page so I'm posting a fresh request below.

I received your email. As I've reviewed one of your requests, ideally I should not review another for fairness. Someone else will review your request. 331dot (talk) 08:37, 29 March 2023 (UTC)


 * Thanks, multiple days have passed and no one seems to be looking at my response anymore. Is there a way that you could help me on this? I can accept your suggestion that only certain topics are blocked. In this case, wouldn't you be a good choice to proceed with your suggestion and unblock me (partially)? I didn't express any intention to edit political topics in the near term to begin with anyway, so the reason of you denying my request was more of a caution from your side as opposed to a conclusion from my request. Wlwl0623 (talk)
 * I would greatly prefer to leave this to someone else, we will see what happens. Admins are volunteers and our number stays the same or even goes down slightly over time while our tasks grow.  Please be patient. 331dot (talk) 09:23, 30 March 2023 (UTC)
 * , I can see an unblock with a AP2 topic ban being a reasonable thing worth a try. Thoughts, Wlwl?
 * Courcelles (talk) 13:15, 30 March 2023 (UTC)
 * Thanks. Since it's okay with you I'll speed this up and unblock pending comment by Wlwl. 331dot (talk) 13:41, 30 March 2023 (UTC)
 * thanks guys. Two quick questions, (1) what is AP2? I couldn't find its definition (2) is it correct that this is a temporary (yet indifinite) ban, so with a proven track record in the future, I can request an unban? Wlwl0623 (talk) 17:54, 30 March 2023 (UTC)
 * "AP2" refers to post-1992 American politics. See Arbitration/Requests/Case/American politics 2. Yes, it is a temporary but indefinite topic ban- may know more but I believe the usual process is that it may be appealled after a year. 331dot (talk) 18:04, 30 March 2023 (UTC)
 * @331dot understood, I'm fine with it. you can proceed then as it seems this is the best deal I can get for now. thanks Wlwl0623 (talk) 18:24, 30 March 2023 (UTC)
 * @331dot and waiting for Courcelles answer about appeal policy Wlwl0623 (talk) 18:27, 30 March 2023 (UTC)
 * Topic bans are broadly construed- if an edit has anything at all to do with post 1992 American politics, you can't make it. You could edit about Ronald Reagan but not Bill Clinton, as an example. 331dot (talk) 18:07, 30 March 2023 (UTC)
 * @331dot not that I have anything in mind, but what about topics discussed in today's topics, because one can argue nearly everything is politically related, from gun rights, abortion, to media, geopolitical news? Wlwl0623 (talk) 18:26, 30 March 2023 (UTC)
 * You are correct that the AP2 restriction is a broad topic area. 331dot (talk) 18:32, 30 March 2023 (UTC)
 * @331dot then, with my latest request, do you and Courcelles really think such a long period borad ban is needed? it's not like I was deliberately initiating edit war with political agenda in mind. I certainly will try to remain neutral and respect wiki rules Wlwl0623 (talk) 18:35, 30 March 2023 (UTC)
 * @331dot for a first time offender, I see this unnecessarily harsh and suppressing potential contributions to the project Wlwl0623 (talk) 18:36, 30 March 2023 (UTC)
 * We can leave this open to see if a different admin will offer a better deal. Unless you are going to be a very intensive editor in the short term I think a ban appeal in less time than a year is not likely to succeed, but I'm not the blocking admin and I shouldn't decline another request, so it's not up to me. 331dot (talk) 21:15, 30 March 2023 (UTC)
 * @331dot thanks, I'll ask the blocking Admin here and let you know Wlwl0623 (talk) 21:56, 30 March 2023 (UTC)
 * Hi, looks like no other admins are looking at this, not even the original blocking one. Could you proceed with the partial unblock then? Thanks! Wlwl0623 (talk) 04:33, 26 April 2023 (UTC)
 * Hi @Courcelles, what do you think? A year of topic ban seems unnecessarily long to me. I've understood the rule and will try to be neutral going forward. AP2 is a very broad topic, which might include something not necessarily political event or figure related. I believe I can make good contribution to American law and economics areas. So I'm hoping for a full unblock here. If you haven't, I strongly suggest you read my request above, which shows my intention and plan ahead. And you can always full block me again if you think I make tendentious edits again anyway. Thanks!


 * I received your email, if you state here that you accept the topic ban as proposed, I will remove the block. 331dot (talk) 21:37, 5 May 2023 (UTC)
 * @331dot yes I accept, thanks Wlwl0623 (talk) 21:38, 5 May 2023 (UTC)
