March 2017

Your recent editing history at 2017 Westminster attack 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.

There is currently a discussion at Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents regarding an issue with which you may have been involved. Mjroots (talk) 08:16, 27 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Let's start again

OK, let's start again. You've had a bit of a baptism of fire here. I'm sorry to year that a relative of yours was a victim of the Westminster attack. I hope that you find the strength you need in the weeks and months to come.

Suggest you leave the article alone, but feel free to make suggestions for improvement at the talk page. No need to stop editing completely, there must be things that interest you that you can write about. Read the linked pages in the Welcome notice above as they will give you a better idea of what Wikipedia is and is not. Mjroots (talk) 08:29, 27 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I very much appreciate that. I was looking for an outlet for my anger, and it ended up being the Wikipedia article. I regret the sentiments I expressed (which I don't truly believe) and most certainly will not edit it again. GretzkyCC (talk) 08:41, 27 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Edit warring

@GretzkyCC: Please exercise some self-control. Youtube is not a reliable source for Wikipedia articles - have a read through WP:RS. You've already been warned for edit warring - getting yourself blocked over something this silly and pointless seems like an odd thing to do. Drop the stick.

You're aware that the YouTube cite is from an official channel, right? GretzkyCC (talk) 09:26, 27 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Learn when to walk away from an issue. The information you're trying to add was originally added by a bad-faith editor using multiple accounts, and the sources fall foul of WP:PRIMARY and WP:UGC. Find a reliable, independent source for the information and then add it with new sources. This really isn't worth getting yourself blocked over, is it?

Again: the YouTube cite is from an official channel. You thought it was a COPYVIO link, and made a mistake. Why not admit it? I'm interested in a good article, not "beating" you. GretzkyCC (talk) 09:31, 27 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
