Warning – January 2024
ResolvedExtended content |

 Being involved in an edit war can result in you 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 do not violate the three-revert rule—should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly. –Aidan721 (talk) 20:54, 2 January 2024 (UTC)

Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please read more about what is generally accepted as notable.
