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 ~~~~}}
. Ian.thomson (talk) 13:56, 21 July 2016 (UTC)- You violated the three revert rule by attempting to:
- Assuming that the first of each edit 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.
- Some other tips: Try using the "Show Preview" button to make sure your edits look alright before saving them, instead of repeatedly saving the page for making small and pointless formatting changes. Never edit other people's posts on noticeboards or talk pages (except when removing warnings from your page -- which will be taken as a sign that you have read and understand that warning). Finally, if someone doesn't have "Bot" at the end of their username, they are another human being and you can try to talk with them to figure out what the problem is.
- Note that your editing does appear a bit precocious, so a future block may not be temporary. Ian.thomson (talk) 13:56, 21 July 2016 (UTC)
