February 2024[edit]

Hi 99.245.197.9! I noticed that you have reverted to restore your preferred version of Selma Blair several times. The impulse to undo an edit you disagree with is understandable, but I wanted to make sure you're aware that the edit warring policy disallows repeated reversions even if they are justifiable.

All editors are expected to discuss content disputes on article talk pages to try to reach consensus. If you are unable to agree at Talk:Selma Blair, please use one of the dispute resolution options to seek input from others. Using this approach instead of reverting can help you avoid getting drawn into an edit war. The first thing you need to know is that we discourage "Controversy" or "Criticism" sections. The policy on this is WP:CRITS. This matter clearly does not merit its own section. The second thing you need to understand is that saying "I will continue to make this change if you keep undoing it." is a great way to demonstrate bad faith and to get yourself blocked. If you really think that you are right about the section heading (which you're not) then you can discuss it on the Talk page of the article. Do not threaten to edit war again.

Anonymous users from this IP address have been blocked from editing for a period of 60 hours for edit warring.

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.

If you think there are good reasons for being unblocked, please review Wikipedia's guide to appealing blocks, then add the following text to the bottom of your talk page: {{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}}. Aoidh (talk) 01:43, 26 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
