In particular, the three-revert rule states that:

1. Making more than three reversions on a single page within a 24-hour period is almost always grounds for an immediate block.
2. Editors violating the rule will usually be blocked for 24 hours for a first incident.
3. 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 wording, and content 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 edit warring continues, you may be blocked from editing without further notice. Wikispan (talk) 12:31, 6 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Hi - don't worry, that discussion did not concern you or any of your edits. The other editor pinged you in error in this edit - I think they must have misread my signature, and confused the link to my talk page with my username. Anyway, you shouldn't have been notified, I have no concerns about any of your editing - sorry you were inconvenienced. Cheers GirthSummit _(blether) 09:24, 7 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you copied or moved text from one or more pages into Northern Ireland civil rights movement. While you are welcome to re-use Wikipedia's content, here or elsewhere, Wikipedia's licensing does require that you provide attribution to the original contributor(s). When copying within Wikipedia, this is supplied at minimum in an edit summary at the page into which you've copied content, disclosing the copying and linking to the copied page, e.g., copied content from [[page name]]; see that page's history for attribution. It is good practice, especially if copying is extensive, to also place a properly formatted {{copied}} template on the talk pages of the source and destination. Please provide attribution for this duplication if it has not already been supplied by another editor, and if you have copied material between pages before, even if it was a long time ago, you should provide attribution for that also. You can read more about the procedure and the reasons at Wikipedia:Copying within Wikipedia. Thank you. DanCherek (talk) 12:35, 8 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks. I will try to do this at the NICRM page Blether (talk) 13:29, 8 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

You have been blocked from editing for a period of 48 hours for abusing multiple accounts & edit-warring. Once the block has expired, you are welcome to make useful contributions.

If you think there are good reasons for being unblocked, please read the guide to appealing blocks, then add the following text below the block notice on your talk page: {{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}}.  JBW (talk) 13:23, 19 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Request reason:

'The block was Not Necessary'. I became involved in contested editing at [1955 United Kingdom general election]. At the last I *left the article itself in the state the other editor enforced by making three reverts*. Instead of engaging in an edit war I made an edit-warring report regarding that editor about the issue. (Previously I requested that editor to use the Talk page to achieve consensus, creating an entry under which to do so). Where is the danger that I will make unconstructive edits? As to multiple accounts, there are more than one person in this family who use this IP address Blether (talk) 14:28, 19 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Decline reason:

Your explanation of "there are more than one person in this family who use this IP address" does not align with the

technical evidence available, and I am declining the unblock request on that basis. firefly ( t · c ) 14:58, 19 October 2022 (UTC)[reply

Request reason:

Err... we are using the same computer Blether (talk) 15:10, 19 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Decline reason:

I don't really believe that, but even so, per

WP:MEAT: For the purpose of dispute resolution when there is uncertainty whether a party is one user with sockpuppets or several users with similar editing habits they may be treated as one user with sockpuppets. If you live with someone and they suddenly joined in on an edit war of yours, that is treated as sockpuppetry. -- Tamzin^{[cetacean needed]} (she|they|xe) 15:16, 19 October 2022 (UTC)[reply
