User talk:162.83.74.104

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Hi, Heyer! I have blocked you from editing Wikipedia for 24 hours, until about 23:00 UTC on 14 Jan 2006. This is because you violated a Wikipedia policy known as the three-revert rule. The rule simply states that users may not revert a page (for content reasons, not for vandalism) more than three times within 24 hours. While you did not violate the rule in this context, the sockpuppet policy says, "Policies such as 3RR are for each person's edits. Similarly, using a second account for policy violations will cause any penalties to also be applied." You used two accounts - User:Heyer8472 and User:162.83.74.104. Furthermore, User:Jtrost left you a warning twice on the anonymous account asking you to stop reverting Talk:Episodes of Lost (season 2). You reverted his message twice - while this is not another violation of 3RR (only twice, not three times), it is considered hostile (see talk page etiquette).

The four reversions that caused the block are:

  1. 21:27, 13 January 2006 (by 162.83.74.104)
  2. 21:31, 13 January 2006 (by 162.83.74.104)
  3. 21:39, 13 January 2006 (by Heyer8472)
  4. 21:50, 13 January 2006 (by Heyer8472)

Please observe Wikipedia policies in the future and try not to be hostile. Further violations of policy could result in more, longer blocks or an indefinite ban. Thank you for cooperating.--M@thwiz2020 23:03, 13 January 2006 (UTC)

On another note, you edited Talk:Episodes of Lost (season 2)/Archive03 three times today. Please do not edit page archives - they are preserved for future reference only, not for discussion, as noted at the top of each archived page in bold letters.--M@thwiz2020 23:03, 13 January 2006 (UTC)
