3RR Violation on Martin Luther Page

Penya, just a friendly note to warn you that you have violated WP:3RR on the Martin Luther page. Please be careful going forward. There is a very low tolerance for 3RR on Wikipedia. You made reversions on the page five times in the past twenty-four hours. I would advise you to self-revert to avoid getting a block. Bailan 21:03, 29 July 2006 (UTC)

I think you're counting incorrectly, or didn't bother to actually check the edits I made. I made a change, it was reverted, I put it back, it was reverted, I put it back, it was reverted. That means I made two reversions. I made other, unrelated edits, for a total of five revisions. Other people may have made the same or similar reversion that I did, but that has no bearing on me.

We'll just let an admin handle this. Bailan 21:58, 29 July 2006 (UTC)
The point of the 3RR is to encourage people to avoid edit wars and take a step back and think. After making the same edit three times, I did just that, and other people stepped in and took steps to mitigate the problem. Then I made various wholly unrelated edits to the same page, which has nothing at all to do with the 3RR. No need to involve admins in a matter which has resolved itself. Peyna 22:01, 29 July 2006 (UTC)
The 3RR rule applies to any reversions on the page of previously existing material. Your "edits" were reversions of previously existing material. Please read WP:3RR carefully.Bailan 22:06, 29 July 2006 (UTC)
I really don't know what to make of your claims, because they are demonstrably false. I made a change (which I took 2 edits to complete since I made use of section editing), it was undone, I made the same change, it was undone, I made the same change again, it was undone. I thereafter made another change consisting of correcting a misquoted quotation based on the source material the quotation itself cited. Then, I reworded a minor phrase in the introduction. Those are the only edits I have made to the article, and to my knowledge the last two are not any kind of reversion at all, and if they are, it is of content that was changed quite some time ago and is obviously out of the consideration of the 3RR.
