August 2012[edit]

Hello, I'm DVdm. This might not have been intentional, but I noticed that you recently removed some content from Desert island without explaining why. In the future, it would be helpful to others if you described your changes to Wikipedia with an edit summary. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thanks, DVdm (talk) 14:14, 29 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Please do not remove content or templates from pages on Wikipedia, as you did to Desert island with this edit, without giving a valid reason for the removal in the edit summary. Your content removal does not appear constructive, and has been reverted. Please make use of the sandbox if you'd like to experiment with test edits. Thank you.

Please refrain from making unconstructive edits to Wikipedia, as you did at Desert island. Your edits appear to constitute vandalism and have been automatically reverted.

If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. Note that human editors do monitor recent changes to Wikipedia articles, and administrators have the ability to block users from editing if they repeatedly engage in vandalism.
ClueBot NG makes very few mistakes, but it does happen. If you believe the change you made should not have been considered as unconstructive, please read about it, report it here, remove this warning from your talk page, and then make the edit again.
If you need help, please see our help pages, and if you can't find what you are looking for there, please feel free to place "{{helpme}}" on your talk page and someone will drop by to help.

Please stop your disruptive editing. If you continue to blank out or remove portions of page content, templates or other materials from Wikipedia, as you did to Desert island with this edit, you may be blocked from editing. DVdm (talk) 14:19, 29 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Dfriedeborn, you are not correct in your reading of "desert island". Please stop, or you will be blocked for disruptive editing--in this case, blanking and edit-warring. You might even be blocked indefinitely. 207.157.121.92 (talk) 14:23, 29 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Your recent editing history at Deserted island shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war. Being involved in an edit war can result in you being blocked from editing—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—even if you don't violate the three-revert rule—should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly.

To avoid being blocked, instead of reverting please consider using the article's talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. See BRD for how this is done. You can post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection. - DVdm (talk) 14:38, 29 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
