March 2013[edit]

Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. You appear to be engaged in an edit war with one or more editors according to your reverts at FatWallet. Although repeatedly reverting or undoing another editor's contributions may seem necessary to protect your preferred version of a page, on Wikipedia this is usually seen as obstructing the normal editing process, and often creates animosity between editors. Instead of edit warring, please try to reach a consensus on the talk page.

If editors continue to revert to their preferred version they are likely to be blocked from editing. This isn't done to punish an editor, but to prevent the disruption caused by edit warring. In particular, editors should be aware of the three-revert rule, which says that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. While edit warring on Wikipedia is not acceptable in any amount, breaking the three-revert rule is very likely to lead to a block. Thank you. — Mr. Stradivarius ^{♪ talk ♪} 08:17, 16 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

You have been blocked from editing for a period of 72 hours for edit warring and persistent insertion of unsourced content, as you did at FatWallet. Once the block has expired, you are welcome to make useful contributions. If you think there are good reasons why you should be unblocked, you may appeal this block by adding below this notice the text {{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}}, but you should read the guide to appealing blocks first. — Mr. Stradivarius ^{♪ talk ♪} 14:46, 16 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

By the way, Joshua, if you have any questions about the block or about the Wikipedia policies involved, just leave a note here and I'll be happy to answer. Best — Mr. Stradivarius ^{♪ talk ♪} 12:36, 17 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]
