[edit] 3RR warning

This is in regards to your edits on Snakes on a Plane. Please refrain from undoing other people's edits repeatedly. If you continue, you may be blocked from editing Wikipedia under the three-revert rule, which states that nobody may revert a single page more than three times in 24 hours. (Note: this also means editing the page to reinsert an old edit. If the effect of your actions is to revert back, it qualifies as a revert.) Thank you.--Bobblehead 00:42, 11 October 2006 (UTC)

Was not aware I violated 3RR rule. I will pay closer attention mate. ;)71.208.89.57 01:08, 11 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Chocolateboy

I'm not going to pick sides in this, but it's rather clear that Chocolateboy (talk contribs) may have you confused with Guerillafilm (talk contribs) who made very similar changes to the Snakes on a Plane article as the ones you are doing. A look at your edit history and Guerillafilm's seems to indicate that you aren't a sockpuppet, but are just making coincidental edits. However, as constructive criticism I will point out that your edit summaries have bordered on personal attacks (accusing Chocolateboy of WP:OWN[1] and WP:Wikilawyering[2]). That is not a good way to start a discussion on content and naturally turns the target against you. Also, your first attempt to talk to Chocolateboy was to warn him against vandalism when his reversion of your edits was a simple content dispute[3] and then to lecture him on how to edit on Wikipedia[4] when he's been editting on wikipedia since 2003. A better course of action would be to take the content issue to the SoaP talk page and find out why Chocolateboy was reverting your changes. As a suggestion, I would start by not reverting the article and to discuss the inclusion of "famous" and "catchphrase" on the talk page and try to gain consensus around it's removal. All in all, the sockpuppet label could be a simple mistake on the part of Chocolateboy and if you engage him in a civil manner you may find an apology for the label forthcoming. --Bobblehead 02:08, 11 October 2006 (UTC)
