Misplaced Pages

I don't know what the background behind the battle between you and Illyukhina, but I do see that virtually all of your editing has been edit warring on articles where Illyukhina has done likewise. I also see that you have never made any attempt to explain what you are doing. This is not how Misplaced Pages works: if you find that another editor disagrees with your editing, then please discuss the issue, and try to reach agreement. If you continue in this way you will be blocked from editing. JamesBWatson (talk) 16:39, 16 December 2011 (UTC)

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war. 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, Misplaced Pages's policy on edit warring states:

1. Edit warring is disruptive regardless of how many reverts you have made; that is to say, editors are not automatically "entitled" to three reverts.
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. Sasha (talk) 22:22, 16 December 2011 (UTC)

Well, I am not involved in the editing war. What I am doing is just reverting all articles edited by User Illyukhina Illyukhina talk contribs to original text. User Illyukhina Illyukhina shows consistent vandalism in mass editing of Biographies of living persons on Misplaced Pages without providing an edit summary or any reasonable explanation. User Illyukhina Illyukhina in not willing to discuss anything, please check the history of User Illyukhina talk, all the warnings and conversations are deleted by Illyukhina.

this is called an edit war. There are many other things to do here on Misplaced Pages, please leave reverting her edits to other editors with more experience. Sasha (talk) 01:42, 17 December 2011 (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.
