September 2014

Your recent editing history at BAE Systems Hawk shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war. Being involved in an edit war can result in your being blocked from editing—especially if you violate the three-revert rule, which states that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Undoing another editor's work—whether in whole or in part, whether involving the same or different material each time—counts as a revert. Also 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 don't violate the three-revert rule—should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly.

To avoid being blocked, instead of reverting please consider using the article's talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. See BRD for how this is done. If discussions reach an impasse, you can then post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection. - BilCat (talk) 18:24, 29 September 2014 (UTC)

Please stop changing sourced content, as you have been doing to BAE Systems Hawk. This contravenes Misplaced Pages's policy on verifiability. If you continue to do so, you may be blocked from editing Misplaced Pages. -Fnlayson (talk) 13:56, 9 October 2014 (UTC)

You may be blocked from editing without further warning the next time you add unsourced material to Misplaced Pages, as you did at BAE Systems Hawk. - BilCat (talk) 12:47, 10 October 2014 (UTC)

Hello! You look like someone who might be interested in joining the Pakistan WikiProject and so I thought I'd drop you a line and invite you! We'd love to have you help us :-) lTopGunl (talk) 12:33, 15 November 2014 (UTC)

Hi, and welcome to Misplaced Pages. I'm from WikiProject Pakistan. We're a group of editors working to improve Misplaced Pages's coverage of Pakistan.

There are a variety of interesting things to do within the project; you're free to participate however much—or little—you like:

• You can give your input at project's main discussion page and keep it on your watchlist: Misplaced Pages talk:Notice board for Pakistan-related topics.
• You can !vote and work on saving articles that are up for deletion at Misplaced Pages:WikiProject Deletion sorting/Pakistan.
• Want to know how good our articles are? The assessment department is working on rating the quality of every Pakistan article in Misplaced Pages.
• Can you code? The automation department uses automated and semi-automated methods to perform batch tasks that would be tedious to do manually.
• Please participate in any of our descendant workgroups that might interest you.
• Add your name in the members at Misplaced Pages:WikiProject Pakistan/Members. There's also a user box template which you can put on your user page to identify yourself as a member: {{User WikiProject Pakistan}}

November 2014

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war according to the reverts you have made on 2014 India–Pakistan border skirmishes. Users are expected to collaborate with others, to avoid editing disruptively, and to try to reach a consensus rather than repeatedly undoing other users' edits once it is known that there is a disagreement.

Please be particularly aware that Misplaced Pages's policy on edit warring states:

1. Edit warring is disruptive regardless of how many reverts you have made.
2. Do not edit war even if you believe you are right.

If you find yourself in an editing dispute, use the article's talk page to discuss controversial changes; work towards a version that represents consensus among editors. You can post a request for help at an appropriate noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases it may be appropriate to request temporary page protection. If you engage in an edit war, you may be blocked from editing. --lTopGunl (talk) 19:49, 24 November 2014 (UTC)

You may be blocked from editing without further warning the next time you remove or blank page content or templates from Misplaced Pages, as you did at 2014 India–Pakistan border skirmishe. lTopGunl (talk) 12:22, 30 November 2014 (UTC)
