Please note that the account under the IP address 163.119.105.27 has been identified as an alternate account of this one. Continued editing from that account may lead to your account being suspended. Sfacets 22:55, 30 October 2007 (UTC)

This is an invalid and inappropriate warning. There is no policy that requires users be logged in when editing. It is certinaly appreciated, and if done to hide edits itcould be a problem, but so long as no subterfuge is involved there is no harm. ·:· Will Beback ·:· 23:54, 30 October 2007 (UTC)

There is a policy of users only having one user account to make edits to the same articles. Here the editor is actually using two. There are too many edits made not logged in to justify forgetting to do so. Sfacets 00:18, 31 October 2007 (UTC)

Editing without logging in is not the same as having multiple accounts. Can you cite the specific policy language that you think requires users to remember to log in every time? ·:· Will Beback ·:· 00:55, 31 October 2007 (UTC)

Just forgot to log in one time that's all. I expect Sfacets to jump on my case so it's no big deal.--Simon D M 10:04, 31 October 2007 (UTC)

One time? Sfacets 13:33, 31 October 2007 (UTC)

Oops, done it again. No big secret though. --Simon D M 17:25, 31 October 2007 (UTC)

Your recent editing history shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war; that means that you are repeatedly changing content back to how you think it should be, when you have seen that other editors disagree. 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; read about 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 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 do not violate the three-revert rule—should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly.

Sfacets, as you well know I was reverting your reversions of my constructive edits. Shame on you for the uncivil and hypocritical warning. --Simon D M 10:24, 1 November 2007 (UTC)

If you had bothered to read the discussion page before editing (as I requested you do), you would see that many of your edits are being discussed/have previously been discussed. The warning was just that - a warning. If you'd like I can forgo the warning and report you right away -would that be better? Sfacets 10:39, 1 November 2007 (UTC)
