[edit]

Information icon Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. You appear to be repeatedly reverting or undoing other editors' contributions at For Britain. Although this may seem necessary to protect your preferred version of a page, on Wikipedia this is known as "edit warring" and is usually seen as obstructing the normal editing process, as it often creates animosity between editors. Instead of reverting, please discuss the situation with the editor(s) involved and 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 Wikipedia. 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. Edit warring on Wikipedia is not acceptable in any amount, and violating the three-revert rule is very likely to lead to a block. Thank you. —SerialNumber54129 paranoia /cheap shit room 19:18, 15 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war according to the reverts you have made on For Britain. Users are expected to collaborate with others, to avoid editing disruptively, and to try to reach a consensus rather than repeatedly undoing other users' edits once it is known that there is a disagreement.

Please be particularly aware that Wikipedia's policy on edit warring states:

  1. Edit warring is disruptive regardless of how many reverts you have made.
  2. Do not edit war even if you believe you are right.

If you find yourself in an editing dispute, use the article's talk page to discuss controversial changes; work towards a version that represents consensus among editors. You can post a request for help at an appropriate noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases it may be appropriate to request temporary page protection. If you engage in an edit war, you may be blocked from editing.
To be accurate, you have threatened to edit war. 331dot (talk) 19:18, 15 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

The article For Britain is not 'on your watch', and threatening to edit war "again and again" on it to push your preferred wording won't help it stick — if you carry out the threat, you will merely be blocked from editing. As Doug Weller pointed out when he reverted you last time, Wikipedia goes by independent secondary sources, not by for instance political parties' statements about themselves (which tend to be sugar-coated). Please see Wikipedia:Identifying reliable sources, especially the section WP:RSPRIMARY. Bishonen | talk 19:28, 15 April 2018 (UTC).[reply]
