Your recent editing history at Antisemitism in the UK Labour Party 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..Icewhiz (talk) 06:55, 16 September 2018 (UTC)

Thank you. Icewhiz (talk) 08:16, 16 September 2018 (UTC)

Request reason:

I wrote yesterday "Can you tell me what on earth I am entitled to do and what I'm not EdJohnston. I did ONE revert today. ] This article has a banner at the top stating there is an issue with balance. An editor removed a long standing part of the introduction which further created problems with balance. It had not been discussed on the Talk Page. Am I not entitled to revert such a major and controversial edit?" Yet I got no reply; only a message telling me I'd been indefinitely blocked. Blocked for what? For asking when I can and cannot revert an edit. An edit that was done without having achieved a consensus! Please could somebody independently look at this. I didn't even do any editing on Misplaced Pages yesterday. All I did was ONE legitimate revert the day before. Garageland66 (talk) 08:41, 18 September 2018 (UTC)

Decline reason:

I looked at your mainspace contributions here. What do I see? Revert, revert, revert, revert, revert, revert, revert. You need to look at our edit warring policies closely; I would advise any future unblock request to have some sort of pledge such as a self-imposed 1RR restriction. Ritchie333 13:10, 19 September 2018 (UTC)


If you want to make any further unblock requests, please read the guide to appealing blocks first, then use the {{unblock}} template again. If you make too many unconvincing or disruptive unblock requests, you may be prevented from editing this page until your block has expired. Do not remove this unblock review while you are blocked.

It is hard to see how some of those were reverts not covered by (for example) BLP. Moreover it is hard to see how making one edit well after 24 hours if an edit war breach.Slatersteven (talk) 09:14, 18 September 2018 (UTC)
WP:3RRNO #7 explains what reverts are exceptions under the BLP policy. Unsourced defamation is an example. The reverts in question here were mostly in the area of WP:DUE where all the information is sourced but editor consensus is required to determine if a balanced summary is being provided. Reverting in the service of WP:DUE is not excused from revert-counting under 3RR; you still need to wait for consensus.EdJohnston (talk) 12:48, 18 September 2018 (UTC)
EdJohnston Shouldn't you have explained this when I asked what I'm entitled to do and what I'm not; instead of blocking me in spite of me having done NO further edits. I'd only asked for help. I did no more edits, yet I was blocked. Garageland66 (talk) 16:03, 18 September 2018 (UTC)

At any point in this process you could have stopped and asked for advice. You are not a beginner at this edit warring business. EdJohnston (talk) 16:14, 18 September 2018 (UTC)
