February 2014

Your recent editing history at Battle of Aleppo (2012–present) shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war. 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.

To avoid being blocked, instead of reverting please consider using the article's talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. See BRD for how this is done. You can post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection.

Notice of Edit warring noticeboard discussion

Hello. This message is being sent to inform you that there is currently a discussion involving you at Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Edit warring regarding a possible violation of Wikipedia's policy on edit warring. The thread is Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Edit warring#User:KajMetz reported by User:Darkness Shines (Result: ). Thank you. Darkness Shines (talk) 22:25, 7 February 2014 (UTC)

3rr block

Hi Kaj - I've just blocked you for a short period of time, shorter than is customary for a 3rr block. I know that editwarring can be frustrating when you believe you are correct, but even if you are actually correct, WP:3rr is a brightline rule - normally any breach of it results in (at least) a 24 hour block. In the future, please don't editwar, even if you think you are right. Many experienced Wikipedians (including many admins) have received at least one short block, so don't look at this so much as a black mark on your record as a reminder to avoid editwarring in the future. I'm sorry for any frustration this may have caused, and would encourage you to take steps to avert an in-progress edit war in the future, such as approaching an uninvolved admin, posting on an appropriate noticeboard like WP:3rrn or WP:ANI. If you believe my block to be unfair, you may leave an unblock template here that will be reviewed by another uninvolved administrator. Best wishes, Kevin Gorman (talk) 06:44, 8 February 2014 (UTC)

You have been blocked from editing for a period of 18 hours for edit warring and violating the three-revert rule, as you did at Battle of Aleppo (2012–present). 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 adding the following text below this notice: {{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}}. However, you should read the guide to appealing blocks first.

During a dispute, you should first try to discuss controversial changes and seek consensus. If that proves unsuccessful, you are encouraged to seek dispute resolution, and in some cases it may be appropriate to request page protection.  Kevin Gorman (talk) 06:45, 8 February 2014 (UTC)

Syrian civil war sanctions notice

As a result of a community decision, broad editing restrictions apply to all pages broadly related to the Syrian Civil War. These sanctions are described at Talk:Syrian Civil War/General sanctions and a brief summary is included below:

• Sanctions can be used against an editor who repeatedly or seriously fails to adhere to the purpose of Wikipedia, satisfy any standard of behavior, or follow any normal editorial process.
• If you inappropriately edit pages relating to this topic, you may be placed under sanctions, which can include blocks, a revert limitation, or a topic or article ban.
• A one revert per twenty-four hours restriction applies to articles broadly related to the Syrian Civil War, with the wording listed here.
• Please familiarise yourself with the full decision at Talk:Syrian Civil War/General sanctions before making any further edits to pages related to the Syrian Civil War.
• Sanctions imposed may be appealed to the imposing administrator or at the appropriate administrators' noticeboard.

Sanctions may only be imposed after the user is notified sanctions are in effect. This message is to so inform you. This message does not necessarily mean that your current editing has been deemed a problem; this is a template message crafted to make it easier to notify any user who has edited the topic of the existence of these sanctions.

This notice is effective only if given by an uninvolved administrator and logged at Talk:Syrian civil war/General sanctions#Log of notifications.
