You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war according to the reverts you have made on Arthur C. Clarke. Users who edit disruptively or refuse to collaborate with others may be blocked if they continue. In particular the three-revert rule states that making more than three reversions on a single page within a 24-hour period is almost always grounds for an immediate block. If you find yourself in an editing dispute, use the talk page to discuss controversial changes. Work towards wording and content that gains consensus among editors. If unsuccessful, then do not edit war even if you believe you are right. 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 edit warring continues, you may be blocked from editing without further notice.

December 2010[edit]

Your account is blocked per the evidence at Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/DavidYork71. Jehochman ^Talk 22:29, 27 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I have absolutely nothing to do with "DavidYork71". How does one contest a block?

That doesn't matter. You've registered three different accounts, and done quite enough mischief on your own to justify the block. See WP:GAB. Whoever you are, if you want to edit Wikipedia, you have to work with a single account and refrain from making disruptive edits. Jehochman ^Talk 08:56, 28 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]
