: Hi Peterzor. I can understand your enthusiasm and your desire to improve the [[Nazi Germany]] article. But that's not what's actually happening. Your edit warring to insert factually incorrect and/or grammatically incorrect material into the lede is actually holding up development of the article, because to be promoted to [[WP:Good Article]] status, the article will have to be stable, and right now it's not, because of the edit warring. The article would also would fail GA with factually and/or grammatically incorrect material in the lead, so I will have to continue to revert you. As someone who has helped promote quite a few articles to to GA status and has even helped edit Featured Articles, I can tell you that a professional level of English is required for these promotions. Please consider finding some other way to contribute to the encyclopedia. Thank you, -- [[User:Diannaa|Dianna]] ([[User talk:Diannaa|talk]]) 23:17, 19 May 2013 (UTC) |

Edit waring
Editors who engage in edit warring are liable to be blocked from editing to prevent further disruption. While any edit warring may lead to sanctions, there is a bright-line rule called the three-revert rule (3RR), the violation of which often leads to a block. The three-revert rule states:

- We have an informal process that most follow when there is a dispute about content as outlined at Wikipedia:BOLD, revert, discuss cycle. Please come to the talk page. You may have noticed I agree with one of your edits and would like you to join the talk page on the matter over getting blocked. You may have noticed that I had restored the article to its original version before the content dispute despite agreeing with a portion of your edit - this is because there is a debate about that term thus the article should remain as it was till it is all worked out.Moxy (talk) 18:33, 17 May 2013 (UTC)

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war according to the reverts you have made on Nazi Germany. 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, Wikipedia's policy on edit warring states:
- Edit warring is disruptive regardless of how many reverts you have made; that is to say, editors are not automatically "entitled" to three reverts.
- 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. -- Dianna (talk) 02:08, 23 May 2013 (UTC)
