Blocked
You have been blocked temporarily from editing for disruptive editing (including edit warring and a swarm of unnecessary test edits at Garry Marshall, attempts to remove noticeboard reports, inappropriate tagging, and an apparent refusal to communicate regarding any of these issues). Once the block has expired, you are welcome to make useful contributions. If you think there are good reasons why you should be unblocked, you may appeal this block by first reading the guide to appealing blocks, then adding the following text to the bottom of your talk page:
{{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}}

- Except for the notability tagging, these edits aren't necessarily "bad", but neither were the versions that other people changed them back to. Since multiple editors restored the other version, your version did not have consensus. By all means, attempt changes, but if those changes are reverted, discuss the issue on the article's talk page instead of reverting.
- Assuming that the first of each attempted change was not a revert, that's still six reverts within 24 hours. Yes, they do add up. Even if they somehow didn't, the attempts to change the profile picture are enough.
