== Edit warring ==
[[File:Stop hand nuvola.svg|30px|alt=Stop icon]] Your recent editing history at [[:List of colonies]] shows that you are currently engaged in an ”'[[Wikipedia:Edit warring|edit war]]”’. This means that you are repeatedly changing a page’s content back to how you believe it should be, when you have seen that other editors disagree with your changes. Please ”stop editing the page” and use the ”'[[Wikipedia:Talk page guidelines|talk page]]”’ to work toward creating a version of the page that represents [[Wikipedia:Consensus|consensus]] among the editors involved. Wikipedia provides a page explaining [[Wikipedia:Editing policy#Talking and editing|how this is accomplished]]. If discussions reach an impasse, you can request help at a relevant [[Wikipedia:Noticeboards|noticeboard]] or seek [[Wikipedia:Dispute resolution|dispute resolution]] such as a [[WP:Third opinion|third opinion]]. In some cases, you may wish to request [[Wikipedia:Protection policy|page protection]] while a discussion to resolve the dispute is ongoing.
”’If you continue edit warring, you may be [[Wikipedia:Blocking policy|blocked from editing]] Wikipedia”’—especially if you violate the [[Wikipedia:Edit warring#The three-revert rule|three-revert rule]], which states that an editor ”must not perform more than three [[Help:Reverting|reverts]] on a single page within a 24-hour period”. Undoing another editor’s work—whether in whole or in part, or whether it involves the same or different material each time—counts as a revert. Also, please 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 do not violate the three-revert rule”’— if things indicate that you intend to continue reverting content on the page.<!– Template:uw-3rr –> [[User:Dgp4004|Dgp4004]] ([[User talk:Dgp4004|talk]]) 16:39, 10 January 2026 (UTC)
Hello Owain ap Arthur, and thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia.
While your contributions are appreciated, I wanted to let you know that I’ve started a discussion about whether an article that you created, David Edmund Williams, should be deleted, as I am not sure that it is suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia in its current form. Your comments are welcome at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/David Edmund Williams.
Deletion discussions usually run for seven days and are not votes. Our guide about effectively contributing to such discussions is worth a read. The most common issue in these discussions is notability, but it’s not the only aspect that may be discussed; read the nomination and any other comments carefully before you contribute to the discussion. Last but not least, you are highly encouraged to continue improving the article; just be sure not to remove the tag about the deletion nomination from the top.
If you have any questions, please leave a comment here and prepend it with {{Re|North8000}}. And don’t forget to sign your reply with ~~~~ . Thanks!
(Message delivered via the Page Curation tool, on behalf of the reviewer.)
