  Hello, I'm Puffin. I wanted to let you know that I undid one of your recent contributions, such as the one you made to Hobbit (word), because it didn’t appear constructive to me. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thanks, Puffin Let's talk! 18:06, 2 November 2012 (UTC)Reply

 

Your recent editing history at Hobbit (word) 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.

Per this discussion I would also ask you to read our guideline about conflicts of interest and possibly the one about legal threats too. Your company may own the commercial rights to the word Hobbit but you don't own the Wikipedia article. If you are here to help build an encyclopedia according to our standards you're very welcome. If you're only here though to promote the interests of the Saul Zaentz Company this might get you blocked from editing. Regards, De728631 (talk) 23:07, 9 November 2012 (UTC)Reply
