Edit War Warning
Your recent editing history at Article 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 have been blocked from editing for a period of 60 hours for edit warring. 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:. - Barek (talk • contribs) - 03:29, 7 January 2018 (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. Alephb (talk) 03:35, 7 January 2018 (UTC)


 * I am being accused of engaging in intimidation and of refusing to present evidence. I haven't refused to present evidence -- I simply stopped discussing once the other user was blocked. It seemed, unsporting, I guess, to carry on a conversation with someone who was not allowed to respond. If I have said anything that amounts to indimidation, I'd like to see it quoted here.

 * The "oodles of citations" are in the article itself, in a section helpfully titled "historicity." I had assumed that you read the section, or at least skimmed it, before editing. I did not realize that you expected me to copy-paste the citations from the article into the talk page. Oh well.
 * As for "intimidation," thank you for quoting me directly. I'll leave it to others to judge for themselves whether your selected fragments from my broader comment show signs of "clearly an intimidation tactice." Alephb (talk) 05:41, 7 January 2018 (UTC)


 * Consecutive reverts count as one revert. No “nose-thumbing” there. Doug Weller  talk 08:55, 7 January 2018 (UTC)
 * I am troubled by your statement "It was unfortunate but necessary", which seems to indicate that given the chance you would continue the edit war. This content dispute does not appear to fall under any policy exceptions listed at WP:NOT3RR. The notice given before your final revert which triggered the block had provided links to both the WP:BRD cycle, as well as the dispute resolution tools at WP:DR. I encourage you to use the time during the block to become more familiar with the guidance provided at each of those pages. --- Barek (talk • contribs) - 12:12, 7 January 2018 (UTC)
