Hello, I'm Dawnseeker2000. I noticed that you recently made an edit to Andy Murray that seemed to be a test. Your test worked! If you want more practice editing, the sandbox is the best place to do so. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thanks.

Your recent editing history at Andy Murray shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war. Being involved in an edit war can result in you 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. Escape Orbit ^(Talk) 21:43, 16 June 2013 (UTC)

I suggest you read guidelines on UK nationals before edit warring on this any further. You'll also find extensive discussion on it on the talk page and archives. You are not saying anything that hasn't been discussed a thousand times already. Thanks. --Escape Orbit ^(Talk) 21:48, 16 June 2013 (UTC)

Murray

You have already been warned once regarding your edit warring on Andy Murray. Instead of casting accusations on the talk page, and edit warring, why not try and explain what's changed that makes it important to describe Murray differently?

An again, please read the Wikipedia style manual regarding this issue. Thanks. --Escape Orbit ^(Talk) 19:22, 7 July 2013 (UTC)

Nothing has changed, the article was wrong to begin with. Are you an SNP member? Murray himself described himself as British today. The consensus on the Talk Page is British. In any case, Nationality isn't a matter of opinion, it's a matter of fact - there's no such nationality as Scottish.

Instead of playing judge and jury, why not stick to the facts and pretend this is an encyclopaedia for a minute?

Describing himself as a British winner does not in anyway change the fact that he has also described himself as Scottish. He can be both. It is not an either/or scenario. Are you even bothering to read past discussion on this topic, or are you going to argue all the same irrelevant points that have been gone though before? Please also don't fall into the trap of assuming that all editors are grinding a political axe. Some of us are here to write an encyclopaedia, and it's good manners to consider that everyone else is too.

I don't see any consensus for changing this article on the talk page. And as far as Wikipedia is concerned, UK nationals are precisely a matter of opinion. You can regard it as a black and white issue if you wish, but most people are perfectly aware that it's not that straight-forward. --Escape Orbit ^(Talk) 21:52, 9 July 2013 (UTC)
