Constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, but a recent edit of yours to the page Richard Cummings (writer) has an edit summary that appears to be inaccurate or inappropriate. Please use edit summaries that accurately tell other editors what you did, and feel free to use the sandbox for any tests you may want to do. Thank you. NeilN ^{talk to me} 17:28, 23 May 2014 (UTC)

Your recent editing history at Richard Cummings (writer) 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. NeilN ^{talk to me} 17:33, 23 May 2014 (UTC)

You have been blocked temporarily from editing for edit warring, as you did at Richard Cummings (writer). Once the block has expired, you are welcome to make useful contributions. If you think there are good reasons why you should be unblocked, you may appeal this block by adding the following text below this notice: {{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}}. However, you should read the guide to appealing blocks first.

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.  SpinningSpark 18:03, 23 May 2014 (UTC)

Beyond that, your fraudulent use of edit summaries in an attempt to deceive other editors as to the nature of your edits is unacceptable from anyone, but is especially unacceptable from an editor with a COI who should not be editing the article in the first place.

it is also unlikely to fool anyone. Maproom (talk) 19:27, 23 May 2014 (UTC)
