Your recent editing history at Political correctness 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.

I did a single undo per person (there were two). Not in a row, by the way. After that and after finding out they aren't budging, I started removing bits from my own stance to get to a concensus progressively through edits. The descriptors of my edits also greatly pointed out that I were dropping my points to appease. At this point I didn't think this was being an edit war, but rather an editing process between two disagreers - realpolitik concensus. --Mr. Magoo and McBarker (talk) 22:04, 1 October 2015 (UTC)

Hello, I noticed that you may have recently made edits to Antifeminism while logged out. Making edits while logged out reveals your IP address, which may allow others to determine your location and identity. Misplaced Pages's policy on multiple accounts usually does not allow the use of more than one account or IP address by one person. If this was not your intention, then please always remember to log in when editing. Thank you. Fyddlestix (talk) 14:11, 1 October 2015 (UTC)

For context, see the this edit and the three that follow, and the string of edits made by the same IP at Antifeminism. Fyddlestix (talk) 14:15, 1 October 2015 (UTC)

Very early on I informed you that this is not my user account because I don't have access to the password-saving feature. I also informed you I will shortly be back on my real user account. Very neatly you forget that and paint a bad picture of me. I posted a more comprehensive view on Doug's talk page if you want to take a look. --Mr. Magoo and McBarker (talk) 22:00, 1 October 2015 (UTC)

Note that your behavior with the IP will be included with your behavior using this account if a block is requested. Doug Weller (talk) 14:45, 1 October 2015 (UTC)

American Politics discretionary sanctions notification

Please carefully read this information:

The Arbitration Committee has authorised discretionary sanctions to be used for pages regarding all edits about, and all pages related to post-1932 politics of the United States and closely related people, a topic which you have edited. The Committee's decision is 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.  NeilN 19:54, 16 October 2015 (UTC)

Why in the world would I be blocked for making two reverts? I mean the edit history has Aquillion having done the same just below, yet he isn't blocked? --Mr. Magoo and McBarker (talk) 19:57, 16 October 2015 (UTC)

Mr. Magoo and McBarker (block log • active blocks • global blocks • contribs • deleted contribs • filter log • creation log • change block settings • unblock • checkuser (log))

Request reason:

Notes:

• In some cases, you may not in fact be blocked, or your block has already expired. Please check the list of active blocks. If no block is listed, then you have been autoblocked by the automated anti-vandalism systems. Please remove this request and follow these instructions instead for quick attention by an administrator.
• Please read our guide to appealing blocks to make sure that your unblock request will help your case. You may change your request at any time.

If you ask the blocking administrator to comment on this request, replace this template with the following, replacing "blocking administrator" with the name of the blocking admin:

{{Unblock on hold |1=blocking administrator |2=I made two reverts? The latter of which done when the other person didn't even bother explaining his revert on the talk page? Another editor just below in the edit history did two reverts as well and he wasn't blocked? |3 = ~~~~}}

If you decline the unblock request, replace this template with the following code, substituting {{subst:Decline reason here}} with a specific rationale. Leaving the decline reason unchanged will result in display of a default reason, explaining why the request was declined.

{{unblock reviewed |1=I made two reverts? The latter of which done when the other person didn't even bother explaining his revert on the talk page? Another editor just below in the edit history did two reverts as well and he wasn't blocked? |decline = {{subst:Decline reason here}} ~~~~}}

If you accept the unblock request, replace this template with the following, substituting Accept reason here with your rationale:

{{unblock reviewed |1=I made two reverts? The latter of which done when the other person didn't even bother explaining his revert on the talk page? Another editor just below in the edit history did two reverts as well and he wasn't blocked? |accept = accept reason here ~~~~}}

You are blocked for your constant edit warring against multiple editors. There is no right to revert x amount of times. --NeilN 20:03, 16 October 2015 (UTC)

But the rule is the 24 hour period and three reverts? And there have been others "warring" against them, and "the other editors" (as in two) warring back? And the "multiple editors" (as in two) may very well the same person operating with a sock puppet (or at least they are in cohorts, messaging outside Misplaced Pages), as I proved on the talk page. Is the only way to make a change on Misplaced Pages a VPN? Does the truthfulness of your opinion not matter if you don't use a VPN to pretend to be multiple different editors? --Mr. Magoo and McBarker (talk) 20:07, 16 October 2015 (UTC)
