Editors who violate any listed restrictions may be blocked by any uninvolved administrator, even on a first offense.
An editor must be aware before they can be sanctioned.
With respect to any reverting restrictions:
Edits made solely to enforce any clearly established consensus are exempt from all edit-warring restrictions. In order to be considered "clearly established" the consensus must be proven by prior talk-page discussion.
Edits made which remove or otherwise change any material placed by clearly established consensus, without first obtaining consensus to do so, may be treated in the same manner as clear vandalism.
Clear vandalism of any origin may be reverted without restriction.
Reverts of edits made by anonymous (IP) editors that are not vandalism are exempt from the 1RR but are subject to the usual rules on edit warring. If you are in doubt, contact an administrator for assistance.
If you are unsure if your edit is appropriate, discuss it here on this talk page first. Remember: When in doubt, don't revert!
A fact from Russia–Syria–Iran–Iraq coalition appeared on Wikipedia's Main Page in the Did you know column on 1 December 2015 (check views). The text of the entry was as follows:
Oppose Article appears to contain new content. LavaBaron (talk) 21:52, 28 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
That's not a reason not to merge. If the articles were the same we would just delete one. Anything new can and should be merged. Legacypac (talk) 03:46, 9 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Okay, oppose on the grounds this is about new and unique subject matter. LavaBaron (talk) 01:06, 10 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose. One article is about the Russian military intervention, the other is about an alliance between countries. Just like there's an article about Allies of World War II, as well as Eastern Front (World War II). If there's duplication, text can be removed from one of the articles, but I think that there should remain two articles. Esn (talk) 07:55, 12 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
