Glenrothes[edit]

Hi, thanks for reviewing the Glenrothes article, and i'm glad you liked it. Everyone who has contributed to it has done a great job.

I was just wondering how I can go about getting its grading up from a B? I was expecting it to go up once it had been reviewed?

Slot Car/Tether Car edits[edit]

Hi, Antar. Thanks for the welcome to Wikipedia, but it's really just me, David (D.Helber) who made the tether-car edits to Slot Car. I forgot to log in, so it looked like a new user.

Prior to making that edit, I had been reading a bit about early model car racing history, and also found the Tether Car entry. I noticed that the author had dated the I.C. car racing on tethers to the late '20s. Not knowing much about the gas engine side of the hobby, I figured he was more likely to be right than I was when I said "From the 1930s..." in Slot Cars, so I changed the date. As you say, though, his assertion is unsourced. Hertz says "gasoline [sic] powered cars ... originated in the late 1930's," so I'm happy to go with that. Thanks for the wiser analysis.

I can't quite agree that tether cars are not an antecedent to slot-racing merely because the Lionel cars preceded them. If that's valid, we might as well leave out the IC rail cars and the '50s electric rail-cars also. As a part of the gas-car/rail-car hobby, the tether car is part of the mainstream progression from uncontrolled to driver-controlled hobby racing. The Lionel cars, on the other hand were something of a dead-end anomaly, a mere foreshadowing. I think it is worth leaving the Tether Car link in both the body text and (at very least) the links. It is one of the few hobby-car-racing entries in Wikipedia, and will likely improve in quality in the same way Slot Car has. Perhaps our link will help speed that evolution by bringing it to the attention of more people.

One of the problems in discussing the IC cars is knowing what they burned and when. Some people describe them as diesels. Did any of the early ones actually burn diesel fuel, or is that just a verbal approximation for "methanol-fueled glow plug engines"? Those might be considered an exotic sort of diesel since they use self-sustained heat (in the glowplugs) instead of spark, though not the heat of compression like a true diesel. Hertz refers to the entire class as "gasoline-powered." Apparently some common earlier versions actually burned gasoline and used spark-ignition, though I can't at the moment come up with a source for that recently-read and multiply-encountered assertion.

Another problem for me is the tether-car/rail-car relationship. I originally presumed tether car IC racing, because it is simpler, had preceded rail-car IC racing and had largely been supplanted by it. Now thanks to [this 1940 article] I'm not sure at all. I have an old book coming in the mail that may shed some light on that. Or perhaps you already know the answers. This book would have the answers, but I'm not up for a $300 expenditure at the moment. However, do check their History page for a great pic of tether racing in 1939, so maybe my presumed chronology was correct after all, if not my assumption of the supplanting of tether by rail.

Slipknot GAC[edit]

Recently you failed the article Slipknot (band) as a good article, I was wondering if you could post a review or explain how this article failed so I or somebody else can improve on the article. (Rezter 18:55, 13 August 2007 (UTC))[reply]

Slot Car comments[edit]

Antar, I got my book, Dempewolff's "Table Top Racing", 1963. A beautiful copy for $11 plus postage. It had lots of info on the electric rail-racing era, but less than I had hoped on the gas-cars. Using it and some web sources, I added some detail concerning the infancy of tabletop racing to SLOT CAR. Then I went back and added a bit of detail to the gas-car part to balance.

The problem is that, with the rewrite, I'm not entirely sure that some of your sources remain correctly attached to the specific information that you intended them to illustrate (since I don't have those publications to look at). Please check the new wording for me, to be sure that they still match up, and fix any problems. We may now be a bit over-sourced in that section, considering the relative scarcity of footnotes in later sections.

I have sent the original author of TETHER CAR a note asking for sourced verification of the 1920s-30s claim, but the more I read, the more I am convinced that it was just a fudged guess, and there was no significant gas-car activity prior to about 1936. If I don't get anything solid soon, I think I'll amend both articles to read "late 1930s".

As a side note, I was amused to find this ironic verification cementing the link between gas-car rail-racing and slot cars. "In 1954 the Southport Model Engineering Society (SMES) used a portable diesel rail car track as part of their annual exhibition to raise funds for the society. Alban Adams felt quite rightly that this breached his patent on the guides on their cars as he had made it clear that any club using this system for commercial use had to pay a portion of their profits to him as a royalty, and threatened legal action against the society if they continued to use a diesel rail track for the 1955 exhibition. This forced the society to look for a replacement model racing car attraction. The solution to their problem was an electric rail racing system inspired by the discussions in the recent edition of Model Maker. And so, electric rail racing came to be in this country. This eventually led to slot racing, so Alban Adams was right after all - albeit indirectly." It's from http://www.ddavid.com/slot-car-gallery/passion.htm , quoting J.R. Davies.

It was just too good not to use in our SLOT CAR entry, even though it takes a lot of words and clunkifies the flow a bit.

Anglewinder, Sidewinder, Pancake motors - and Slot Car Mfgs. List[edit]

Antar, Since it looked like SLOT CAR was stuck linked to that sad and inaccurate Anglewinder entry, I redid ANGLEWINDER, and added SIDEWINDER (SLOT CAR) and PANCAKE (SLOT CAR) entries. Haven't done INLINE yet, but soon. Also did two illustrations to use in all the motor-style entries. One has a glitch in the pancake part - the crown gear jumped up above the pinion drive gear. I'll correct it.

Please check the PANCAKE (SLOT CAR) entry for me and see if you can figure out why my source numbers are goobered up, and why the source list doesn't show up at the bottom of the article.

Thanks for your help.

Now, what can we do with that pointless GOOP entry?

SLOT CAR - I added a few manufacturers' names. Manufacturers' lists are a bit of a problem. HO SCALE had one that was very incomplete, even for the significant manufacturers, but long nonetheless. I broke it up into Current Mfgs. and Mfgs. No Longer Active in HO. I'm getting to be quite a Wiki busybody. Breaking up a long list makes it more readable but it's still a bit irritating to the reader who has to scan down several screens worth of company names to make it to the external links. I haven't come up with a good solution - maybe double columns (can you do tables in Wikipedia? I'll have to check.) Cheers--

SLOT CAR - Need Help with New Illustration[edit]

Hi, Antar - Upgrading SLOT CAR's neglected aft-section. I did an illustration for 'Electrical', but it got a bit out of hand. Could you please take a look and give me some feedback. It's at: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:SlotControllers.gif

It'll appear about 67% of full size in the article. Caption to read something like: Types of Slot Car Controllers Telegraph Key, c. 1955- used by the earliest rail-car clubs. On/Off only. Thumb button, c. 1959 - In early sets. On/Off, or Fast/Slow/Off. Wheel/Knob Rheostat, c. 1960 - Full speed range. Can be set for constant speed. Carbon Disc Plunger c. 1963 - Aurora. Full range, but uncomfortable.. Rheostat Plunger - c.1964 onward. With or without brakes. Full Grip Style - c.1962 . Marx set controller. A precursor of pistolgrip styles. Pistolgrip or Russkit type Rheostat - c. 1965 onward. With or without brakes Electronic Controller, 1975 onward - multiple features, adjustable ohm rating.

Long caption. I'll add a bit on controller design in the body text so the image doesn't overpower the text. Thanks for any comments on the image/caption. Several of the dates are guesses. When did that Cox/Strombecker ventilated style plunger rheo come on the market? I know the simple cylinder plunger predated it, and probably the Scalextric flat ventilated plunger, but when? Also, no idea when practical electronic controllers arrived, 1975 is a guess. The thumb-clicker is a Revell, who marketed Scalextric in the US. Was it also the early Scalextric controller? Maybe ought to axe the stoopid Marx gripper and add a Ninco or Scallextric digital. Any help appreciated. Thanks. -- David (D.Helber 03:43, 29 August 2007 (UTC))[reply]

Thanks so much, Mighty A -- I must say, I envy your reference library. And your knowledge of the bigger slots - I'm pretty much an HO guy.

I was so tickled when I saw the telegraph key mentioned and illustrated in the "Built with Passion" book ad, http://www.vsrnonline.com/RailRacing/BuiltWithPassion.html and http://www.ddavid.com/slot-car-gallery/passion.htm . I just had to get it into SLOT CAR, somehow. The Electrical section needed an illustration - et voila! Now I'm wondering how serious the reference is. I wish I had Laidlaw-Dickson's Rail Car book, but the best price I've found is thirty dollars, which seems to me like a lot just to clarify points on fifty-year-old toy technology.

Your first reply sent me through my collection of sources. Somewhere I remember reading that this Revell controller had a Full/Half/Off configuration, but two of my books show that it is clearly the mysterioso "vibrator" variable controller abused by the Old Weird Herald (still can only guess at how it worked). I've searched through my American books and all over the web for a picture of the early Scalextric on/off thumb clicker - nada. If you know where there is an image of one, could you send me the URL? I'd like to replace the Revell buzzer with a drawing of it. There used to be a site which had extensive images of early Scalextric catalogue pages, but it seems to be gone now. Hertz is inexplicably silent on the subject of Scalextric in all areas.

Aurora absorbed Russkit (or at least hired Jim Russell) and used a dark blue version of the Russkit-style controller to replace the carbon-disk thumbbusters in T-jet sets in 1969, and a golden-yellow or orange version with AFX. That's the one I illustrated - its cheerful color and horizontal slots make a visual change from the purple Parma-style electronic controller. Really ought to have a K&B style horizontal thumb-plunger, too, but the picture is already threatening to overpower the text in that section. Besides, they look so 'Rube Goldberg' and uncomfortable (at least for a short-thumbed person like myself). Thanks again for all your wise counsel. -- David (D.Helber 05:55, 31 August 2007 (UTC))[reply]

Humorous[edit]

PLEASE look it up! I really am spelling it correctly! Even in British English. Stephenb (Talk) 10:25, 5 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

The page you cite is wrong, or lists an unusual spelling. Please, look it up! Try [1] or [2] Stephenb (Talk) 10:36, 5 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Incidentally, I have corrected the page you cited - it is most definitely wrong. Looking at the history, a user added it because there was an entry here, though mistakenly added it as a UK spelling despite the dictionary link it gives is Princeton's, with no indication of usage. I have changed it to read "unusual" instead of "UK". I have also rechecked with a dictionary (the New Oxford) we have here in the office. Stephenb (Talk) 10:50, 5 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I shall revert no changes. The Oxford dictionary may list it, but I bet it doesn't say that it is the correct or, indeed, usual spelling. Check American and British English spelling differences as well as User:Roger Davies/Sandbox1 and the discussion at User talk:Spellmaster. I also don't appreciate your use of "Yawn" - please keep the discussion civil rather than suggesting you are bored. Once again, I implore you to check for the proper English spelling. I corrected the spelling on the page because it was poorly spelt - whether or not it was a red link is immaterial (if you check the, link for humourous and humorous both redirect correctly to humour and so should not be taken as an indication of correct sspelling) Stephenb (Talk) 11:20, 5 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

If you really take the trouble to read those articles, you will realise you are, in fact, wrong. I don't think you've actually read them have you? In all cases, where people have tried to claim your spelling is an alternative, their arguments have been rebutted and the correct spelling was pointed out. Or, if you have read them, you are attempting to wind me up! If so, please stop. As it is, I will leave it there. Stephenb (Talk) 19:54, 5 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Look before accusing[edit]

I have posted my rationale for my edit to the Apocalypto article in the "talk" section. You accused me of not doing so in your "edit comments", and furthered this accusation in sending me a message. Although I am new to wikipedia and do not know how to perform certain functions (such as posting my reasons for the edit directly in my edit itself) I would think that any responsible person would've looked to the article discussion before thoughtlessly reverting back to the prior version. If, however, being familiar with the intricacies of wikipedia (as you seem to be) you simply decided to ignore my concerns with the article, then you need to be reported.

I have two suggestions for you:

A) Present your VALID contention in the talk page, and we can sort it out in an educated fashion (deciding the matter on the basis of popular consensus if need be), rather than you just rashly deleting my edits.

Or

B) If you lack any material objections, then revert back to my edit until you can come up with some, seeing as (for the time being at least) I am the only one justified in my editing actions.

and also, please, in the future, refrain from deleting my posts in an attempt, I must assume, at saying that I did not adequately justify my edit.

Here is a definition of plot from wikipedia for you, so it should be useful and applicable:

Story arc Plot is often schematically represented as an arc reflecting the rising action described in the following phases: Initial situation – the beginning. It is the first incident that makes the story start. Conflict or Problem – goal which the main character, or other characters, of the story has to achieve. Complication or Rising action – obstacles which the main character has to cope. Climax – highest point of interest of the story. Dénouement or Resolution – what happens to the character after overcoming all obstacles and reaching his goal, or failing to achieve the desired result and not reaching his goal. Conclusion – the end result

Using the interpretation of plot provided for us by a sanctioned wikipedia article, it is easy to see that plot is not inclusive of a quote which has no actual relevance to the action or substance of a film. If you would like to add another section, that would be wonderful, but as of now, this is irrelevant and must be deleted.

P.S. please actually read my post before ignoring it, and afterwards, don't delete half of it.

Ghost[edit]

I'm not sure why you put those words back in. None of the applicable definitions of ghost give reason for them[3][4]. Do you think the article needs re-naming or something? ——Martin^phi ☎ Ψ Φ—— 01:49, 26 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I would call that good reason to rename, or redo the summary to be more inclusive, not to put in those words in particular. Yes, it's said to be that, but other things as well. So we need to take those words out and expand the definition. ——Martin^phi ☎ Ψ Φ—— 02:15, 26 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Automobile conversion templates[edit]

It seemed like a good idea at the time. The auto mph template has been deprecated, there is no real need to change them but such as task is quite easy. As for the Auto conversion templates being recommended by the auto project, it should note that auto mph shouldn't be used. It is a bit odd that auto mph is the only one to be deprecated.

Fair use rationale for Image:Anauroch.jpg[edit]

Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:Anauroch.jpg. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is not a suitable explanation or rationale as to why each specific use in Wikipedia constitutes fair use. Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages too. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free media lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion.

Andrea Bocelli[edit]

Hi just wanted to say thanks for your message on the talk page as I have found it very helpful in my "quest" to improve the article this weekend!I am trying to balance it all out so that the criticism section is expanded upon, not just for the purpose of criticism, but to simply show that there is criticism from some quarters of the opera world, explain something about why that is and who these critics are. So as to give more of a background to it to those who know little. It does seem that recently on the article a number of users have added "critical material" (for want of a far better experession") some of which has been unsourced and others which whilst sourced, have not really fully explained the criticism. If that makes any sense at all. When I have finished as much as I can, I wonder if you would do me the favour of checking it for me please to see if I get it as balanced as possible? Thanks.♦Tangerines♦·Talk 23:38, 19 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Hi thanks for your message. No worries to be honest whilst I made a point of mentioning the criticism section, I am actually working on the article as a whole, with that particular section being one part of it and as you say it does need to be "countered" with the praise of millions of people - especially when the critics probably number a tiny percentage in comparison which is one of the reasons why I wanted to do all this! Such fun. I've made a start already with trying to add more bio stuff to the article.♦Tangerines♦·Talk 01:22, 20 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

MigrationWatch UK[edit]

Hello Mighty Antar. I hope there will be a chance to restore balance to this article. I have suggested to the editors at WP:COIN that semi-protection ought to be considered. As we try to make that article neutral, I hope the term 'right wing' will be carefully scrutinized. It's not up to Wikipedia editors to determine that something is right wing, though we could report the opinions of journalists who use that term. Notice that even this article in the Independent talks about a 'right-wing agenda' in their headine but they don't use that adjective on MigrationWatch itself. One of your versions of the article has this in the lead: MigrationWatch UK is an independent right wing[1][2][3] pressure group and think tank which recognises the value of limited migration in both directions as a natural part of an open economy. I think that would have to be tweaked, since I'd rather not qualify them as 'right wing' in Wikipedia's own words, though it might take some thought how best to do it.

Mary Webb[edit]

An IP has reverted my contribution to this page several times without discussion or explanation. When you originally removed my reference to Stella Gibbons you made several very valuable critisms of it, which I sought to address - most obviously by providing a source that Webb was the target, as you had requested. So I would be interested in your reaction to the censorship of what I hope is now an encyclopedic entry, or if you still have issues with it, before I request protection of the page, which I hope you would support.

Incipit and Title[edit]

These are two absolutely different concepts. In particular, in the opera field, arias haven't titles, but only incipit (with very rare exceptions of unoriginal titles, like "Lamento di Federico").

Image permission problem with Image:Local police nissan.jpg[edit]

Image Copyright problem

Thanks for uploading Image:Local police nissan.jpg. I noticed that while you provided a valid copyright licensing tag, there is no proof that the creator of the image (or other media file) agreed to license it under the given license.

make a note permitting reuse under the GFDL or another acceptable free license (see this list) at the site of the original publication; or
Send an email from an address associated with the original publication to [email protected], stating your ownership of the material and your intention to publish it under a free license. You can find a sample permission letter here.

If you did not create it entirely yourself, please ask the person who created the image to take one of the two steps listed above, or if the owner of the image has already given their permission to you via email, please forward that email to [email protected].

If you believe the media meets the criteria at Wikipedia:Non-free content, use a tag such as {{non-free fair use in|article name}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:Image copyright tags#Fair use, and add a rationale justifying the image's use on the article or articles where it is included. See Wikipedia:Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

TfD of Template:Automobile classification[edit]

I didn't think it was particularly ingenuous of you to nominate this for deletion, and then within minutes start removing it from the articles where it appears, so that it suddenly fulfilled criteria #4 of TfD where it did not previously.

March 2010[edit]

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war according to the reverts you have made on BBC. Note that the three-revert rule prohibits making more than three reversions on a single page within a 24-hour period. Additionally, users who perform several reversions in content disputes may be blocked for edit warring even if they do not technically violate the three-revert rule. When in dispute with another editor you should first try to discuss controversial changes to work towards wording and content that gains a consensus among editors. Should that prove unsuccessful, you are encouraged to seek dispute resolution, and in some cases it may be appropriate to request page protection. Please stop the disruption, otherwise you may be blocked from editing. ninety:one (reply on my talk) 17:43, 20 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Proposed deletion of Honda RC series[edit]

The article Honda RC series has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Opening statement "Although there is, strictly speaking, no Honda RC Series" makes it unlikely the term could ever meet WP:N or WP:V. A search for references found web hits, but no published (gBooks) that meetWP:RS

While all contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{dated prod}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing {{dated prod}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. The speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.

Image copyright problem with File:Brütsch Mopetta.jpg[edit]

Thanks for uploading File:Brütsch Mopetta.jpg. You've indicated that the image is being used under a claim of fair use, but you have not provided an adequate explanation for why it meets Wikipedia's requirements for such images. In particular, for each page the image is used on, the image must have an explanation linking to that page which explains why it needs to be used on that page. Can you please check

That there is a non-free use rationale on the image's description page for each article the image is used in.
That every article it is used on is linked to from its description page.

Your recent addition to Physical disability[edit]

I have a bit of a problem with the material you added. Firstly it is applicable to Disability (as a whole) and not only to Physical disability which is only one "sub-category". Secondly the distinction the document you quoted makes between "disability" and "handicap" seems to me to be based mostly on political correctness. Such a distinction is not generally made in the ordinary English as spoken around the world. My impression is that in North America the terms are in fact regarded as completely synonymous. In other countries such as the UK and South Africa the word "handicap" is in fact quite widely deprecated and not used except as a deliberate insult. The document appears to be attempting to be prescriptive rather than descriptive of the terminology. I think it is much more suited to the Disability article and specifically in the a section on terminology. Roger (talk) 16:27, 10 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Comparethemarket.com[edit]

Hi there - I'm not sure the Martin Lewis moneysavingexperrt article you're linking to does justify the statement that Comparethemarket.com misses insurers listed on other sites. He says in his own article that the order of comparison sites listed is based on who delivered the cheapest quote most often and also from moneysavingexperrt user feedback. This is not the same as having most brands - if it were tescocompare would not feature anywhere on his list as they have the smallest panel out of all the comparison sites listed.

Equally, Comparethemarket does not exist solely to offer a white label comparison service for other companies - it is first and foremost it is a price comparison site for its own customers! — Preceding unsigned comment added by Mmtpin (talk • contribs) 01:37, 7 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Replaceable fair use File:Felber brochure.jpg[edit]

Thanks for uploading File:Felber brochure.jpg. I noticed that this file is being used under a claim of fair use. However, I think that the way it is being used fails the first non-free content criterion. This criterion states that files used under claims of fair use may have no free equivalent; in other words, if the file could be adequately covered by a freely-licensed file or by text alone, then it may not be used on Wikipedia. If you believe this file is not replaceable, please:

Go to the file description page and add the text {{di-replaceable fair use disputed|<your reason>}} below the original replaceable fair use template, replacing <your reason> with a short explanation of why the file is not replaceable.
On the file discussion page, write a full explanation of why you believe the file is not replaceable.

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace this non-free media item by finding freely licensed media of the same subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or similar) media under a free license, or by creating new media yourself (for example, by taking your own photograph of the subject).

If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified how these media fully satisfy our non-free content criteria. You can find a list of description pages you have edited by clicking on this link. Note that even if you follow steps 1 and 2 above, non-free media which could be replaced by freely licensed alternatives will be deleted 2 days after this notification (7 days if uploaded before 13 July 2006), per the non-free content policy. If you have any questions, please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Stefan2 (talk) 15:48, 21 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]

WP:TOC and Bond Minicar[edit]

WP:TOC make it very clear that there should be no content at all between the TOC and first header. The reason for this is that anyone reading the article with a screen reader (ie blind person) will miss out on text. With your placement of the TOC, any blind user will not read seven paragraphs of the article. Any text between the TOC and header will not be read. To quote WP:TOC, "Users of screen readers do not expect any text between the TOC and the first heading." From WP:Lead#Elements of the lead, "Users of screen readers expect the table of contents to follow the introductory text; they will also miss any text placed between the TOC and the first heading.". Also see User talk:Bgwhite#Floating the TOC for more explanation.

The lead section is followed by a section heading, not seven more paragraphs of text. WP:Lead#Elements of the lead explains what is a lead, "... introductory text, and table of contents, moving to the heading of the first section." Bgwhite (talk) 21:58, 15 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Corbyn[edit]

Sorry for the revert -- I hope you can see what I mean about the talk page. I agree with your last edit summary, saying there's no consensus for the pic -- this was my point a couple of days ago, there seems to be no consensus for *any* pic at this stage. Nomoskedasticity (talk) 17:09, 19 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Your recent editing history at Jeremy Corbyn shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war. To resolve the content dispute, please do not revert or change the edits of others when you get reverted. Instead of reverting, please use the article's talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. The best practice at this stage is to discuss, not edit-war. See BRD for how this is done. If discussions reach an impasse, you can then post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection.

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.
You have reverted the article to using a main image, that there is overwhelming consensus against using, seven times now. Please stop. JJARichardson (talk) 19:17, 22 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]
