April 2014

Hello, and welcome to Misplaced Pages. You appear to be engaged in an edit war with one or more editors according to your reverts at Sweden Democrats. Although repeatedly reverting or undoing another editor's contributions may seem necessary to protect your preferred version of a page, on Misplaced Pages this is usually seen as obstructing the normal editing process, and often creates animosity between editors. Instead of edit warring, please discuss the situation with the editor(s) involved and try to reach a consensus on the talk page.

If editors continue to revert to their preferred version they are likely to be blocked from editing. This isn't done to punish an editor, but to prevent the disruption caused by edit warring. 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, breaking the three-revert rule is very likely to lead to a block. Thank you. Iselilja (talk) 19:19, 18 April 2014 (UTC)

Your recent editing history at Sweden Democrats 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. You can post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection. --RJFF (talk) 15:15, 22 April 2014 (UTC)

I like the truth, a source of confusion for the ongoing edit war on the article about the Swedish Democrats seems to be what we're talking about when we say "first-party" or "third-party" source. You pointed to an SvD article as a third-party source, but the article was merely a report concerning how the party is going to refer to itself. Therefore we're still talking about how the party defines itself, rather than how academic third-party sources describe the party's ideology based on their policies and ideas. — Swedishpenguin | Talk 15:33, 22 April 2014 (UTC)

There is currently a discussion at Misplaced Pages:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents regarding the current disagreement over the lead section of the Sweden Democrats article. The thread is Misplaced Pages:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents#Possible edit war on Sweden Democrats. Thank you. — Swedishpenguin | Talk 20:35, 24 April 2014 (UTC)
