May 2018[edit]

Information icon Hello, I'm ZfJames. I noticed that you made one or more changes to an article, Pen, but you didn't provide a reliable source. It's been removed and archived in the page history for now, but if you'd like to include a citation and re-add it, please do so! If you need guidance on referencing, please see the referencing for beginners tutorial, or if you think I made a mistake, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Just letting you know that I reverted the edit. - zfJames Please ping me in your reply on this page (chat page , contribs) 20:45, 8 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@ZfJames: The IP is a sock of the banned editor User:Daniel C. Boyer. Beyond My Ken (talk) 20:47, 8 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]
@Beyond My Ken: Thanks for letting me know... Why hasn't this user been blocked in that case? - zfJames Please ping me in your reply on this page (chat page , contribs) 20:49, 8 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]
@ZfJames: Because he IP hops all over the 172.xx range (and elsewhere), too extensively to range block. There's an edit filter in place to catch his edits, but this one slipped through. I've recommended that the filter be amended. Beyond My Ken (talk) 20:51, 8 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]
This is an extraordinary claim regarding several IPs or ranges you haven't well defined. Two questions: do you have an reason for asserting this or is it just supposition? And how can a filter stop anything if it's not defined what's s'posed to be stopped in the first place? --172.56.36.217 (talk) 01:43, 9 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Your recent editing history 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—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.
