How To Use These
editThese are for users who revert constructive edits, falsely claiming them to be vandalism. (For example, reverting the "other side" in a content dispute as 'vandalism', like here.)

|---|---|
| First Offence |  Do not falsely claim edits to be vandalism simply because you disagree; if you dispute the inclusion, content, or removal of some of the article, post on the talk page. Falsely claiming vandalism is technically an abuse of the Wikipedia policy.
|
| Second Offence |  Stop making false vandalism claims here just to get someone else's edits reverted. This is strongly discouraged and repeated offences of this type may result in consequences.
|
| Third Offence |  This is the last time you will be warned about falsely claiming another user's edits here to be vandalism. You are engaged in what appears to be a content war and are breaching Wikipedia policy by abusing an editing ability. If you make another false vandalism claim just to further your own edit, you will lose this ability.

|---|---|
| First Offence | You may remove warnings from your own talk page if you so desire; this is taken as confirmation that you have read them. However, do not claim them as vandalism. Falsely claiming vandalism is technically an abuse of the Wikipedia policy.
|
| Second Offence | Stop making false vandalism claims in an apparent effort to blacken another user's appearance. You may remove warnings from your talk page, but the other users are not vandalizing it. Failure to heed this warning may result in administrator action.
|
| Third Offence | WARNING: You have been falsely claiming that other users have been vandalizing your page, when in fact they were posting warnings due to your violation of Wikipedia guidelines. Such lying can only be construed as an attempt to paint the other user as a vandal when they are in fact not. Stop this behavior or you could very well be blocked, especially if you fail to heed the other warnings you are being given.
