The better the shape the article is in, the easier it is to show that WP:GNG is met. Have a look at the Villa Castelli helicopter crash article and you will see that there is an infobox and the article has a defined structure. Bare urls are not good either. {{infobox aircraft occurrence}} is the infobox template. {{cite web}} is the template to cite websites. Use <ref name=xxxx>{{cite web |url= |title= |publisher= |accessdate=}}</ref> at minimum (you can copy and paste this). Other parameters may be added as required.

March 2015

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war. 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.

In particular, editors should be aware of the three-revert rule, which says that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. While edit warring on Misplaced Pages is not acceptable in any amount and can lead to a block, breaking the three-revert rule is very likely to lead to a block. 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. — Coffee // have a cup // beans // 20:31, 11 March 2015 (UTC)

During a dispute, you should first try to discuss controversial changes and seek consensus. If that proves unsuccessful, you are encouraged to seek dispute resolution, and in some cases it may be appropriate to request page protection.  — Coffee // have a cup // beans // 20:49, 11 March 2015 (UTC)

The warning wasn't a message, it was a warning. Please stop removing warning templates from your userpage. It prevents uninvolved admins from being kept up to date. — Coffee // have a cup // beans // 20:51, 11 March 2015 (UTC)

Request reason:

Notes:

• In some cases, you may not in fact be blocked, or your block has already expired. Please check the list of active blocks. If no block is listed, then you have been autoblocked by the automated anti-vandalism systems. Please remove this request and follow these instructions instead for quick attention by an administrator.
• Please read our guide to appealing blocks to make sure that your unblock request will help your case. You may change your request at any time.

If you ask the blocking administrator to comment on this request, replace this template with the following, replacing "blocking administrator" with the name of the blocking admin:

{{Unblock on hold |1=blocking administrator |2=This action is totally unjustified because I have shown great restraint. I have explained myself for hours and have held back the temptation to edit. In contrast, Coffee keeps slapping the same notice on my user talk page. This shows bad judgment by escalating, not de-escalating the situation. If unblocked, I will remain calm, even become calmer. By doing so, you will maintain order in WP, not try to create mayhem. As far as edit warring, Betty Logan reported me to the AN3 board but another editor came to my defense. That person (Jetstreamer) is not my friend but actually disagrees with me in an AFD but we are both civil and respectful. Since there is no edit warring, please delete Coffee's actions and unblock. Thank you. I will repay your kindness by making your action seem wise (i.e. I will act with the utmost respect and responsibility) |3 = ~~~~}}

If you decline the unblock request, replace this template with the following code, substituting {{subst:Decline reason here}} with a specific rationale. Leaving the decline reason unchanged will result in display of a default reason, explaining why the request was declined.

{{unblock reviewed |1=This action is totally unjustified because I have shown great restraint. I have explained myself for hours and have held back the temptation to edit. In contrast, Coffee keeps slapping the same notice on my user talk page. This shows bad judgment by escalating, not de-escalating the situation. If unblocked, I will remain calm, even become calmer.

Thank you. I will repay your kindness by making your action seem wise (i.e. I will act with the utmost respect and responsibility) |decline = {{subst:Decline reason here}} ~~~~}}

If you accept the unblock request, replace this template with the following, substituting Accept reason here with your rationale:

{{unblock reviewed |1=This action is totally unjustified because I have shown great restraint. I have explained myself for hours and have held back the temptation to edit.

Coffee, if you unblock me, it will show you are wise because I will be very respectful and act to show that your unblock was wise. Take up this offer because most Wikipedians are not so calm as I am. Having an iron fist may make you feel strong but is not the best way in this case. Wowee Zowee public (talk) 20:56, 11 March 2015 (UTC)
