[edit] Three reverts rule.

Ben, you have reverted 5 times on the death page. Thats massively over the 3 reverts rule. Please stop. I don't want to have to invoke the rule. Thanks, JoshuaZ 01:35, 1 March 2006 (UTC)

You have got to be kidding me. You know you are over that limit yourself, right? Sent the same to rossnixon, citizen premier, iki and yourself, right?

Hmm, Ben none of us are nearly as high as you are (you are now at what 6 or 7?)(If you revert again in the next few hours, I will report you) . May I kindly suggest a cooling off period and leave it as is for now given that more editors support that version (and only one supports you right now support your version)?

You are at at least 5 yourself then I stopped counting, I could just as easily report you, and you are equally in violation, as are each of the others. I doubt very much that your line of logic will be supported by outside arbitration, so it would be in your best interest not to. But if you'd like to take this to the next level, I would be happy to speak with an arbitrator about this with you. What do you say? That seems to be the only way to settle this anyway. I have done my best to explain myself in the discussion pages, but it seems I am being deliberately unheard because of people's personal feelings about abortion.

I'm at 4 and am not touching your previous. You are at 8. Do I need to say anything more? If someone else reverts and you revert again, I will report you. JoshuaZ 18:33, 1 March 2006 (UTC)

No go on arbitration, big guy? I just took a quick overview of the history and it seems each and every one of the key players is guilty of over-reverting. Mine is only more because it's 4 against 1. Note that the vast majority of reverts is actually by random passersby -removing the "stat". The would make the legitimate version, ie the version with the largest public support, the version sans abortion. The Artist Formerly Known as BenFranklin 18:42, 1 March 2006 (UTC)

Ok, a few things: First if you can please indent your messages (it makes things easier to read). Second, what do you mean by the majority of reverts being a random passerby removing it? I'm afraid I don't see that. Third, 4 reverts is often treated as mildly acceptable. 8 is well beyond the pale. As for arbitration, see my comment on the talk page. JoshuaZ 18:48, 1 March 2006 (UTC)

Sorry this discussion has been carried over to your talk page, but I've rearranged the section and seperated it. I want you (and Joshua too) to tell me your opinion about it. I've tried to isolate from the other stats. I hope we can resolve this with a livable compromise.--ikiroid | (talk) 22:49, 1 March 2006 (UTC)
