  Hello, I'm Drmies. Wikipedia is written by people who have a wide diversity of opinions, but we try hard to make sure articles have a neutral point of view. Your recent edit to Whore of Babylon seemed less than neutral to me, so I removed it for now. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. Drmies (talk) 23:56, 16 August 2015 (UTC)Reply

  Hello, I'm Donner60. I wanted to let you know that I reverted one of your recent contributions —the one you made with this edit to Whore of Babylon— because it didn’t appear constructive to me. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thanks. Donner60 (talk) 03:00, 17 August 2015 (UTC)Reply

 

Your recent editing history at Whore of Babylon 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 get reverted. Instead of reverting, please use the article's 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.

  Please refrain from making nonconstructive edits to Wikipedia, as you did at Whore of Babylon with this edit. Your edits appear to constitute vandalism and have been reverted or removed. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. Repeated vandalism can result in the loss of editing privileges. Thank you. Donner60 (talk) 03:16, 17 August 2015 (UTC)Reply

  Please stop your disruptive editing. If you continue to vandalize Wikipedia, as you did to Whore of Babylon with this edit, you may be blocked from editing. Donner60 (talk) 03:22, 17 August 2015 (UTC)Reply

  Hello. This message is being sent to inform you that there is currently a discussion involving you at Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Edit warring regarding a possible violation of Wikipedia's policy on edit warring. Thank you. Ian.thomson (talk) 03:32, 17 August 2015 (UTC)Reply

  This is your final warning. You may be blocked from editing without further notice the next time you vandalize a page, as you did with this edit to Whore of Babylon. Donner60 (talk) 03:33, 17 August 2015 (UTC)Reply

I can absolutely guarantee that you will be blocked from editing if you continue adding this material - it doesn't remotely belong in the article, for multiple reasons. AndyTheGrump (talk) 03:55, 17 August 2015 (UTC)Reply

You have been blocked from editing for a period of 24 hours for edit warring and violating the three-revert rule. 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 first reading the guide to appealing blocks, then adding the following text below this notice: {{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}}.

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.  Gogo Dodo (talk) 03:58, 17 August 2015 (UTC)Reply
