Information icon Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. You appear to be engaged in an edit war with one or more editors according to your reverts at Resident Evil 4. Although repeatedly reverting or undoing another editor's contributions may seem necessary to protect your preferred version of a page, on Wikipedia this is usually seen as obstructing the normal editing process, and often creates animosity between editors. Instead of edit warring, please discuss the situation with the editor(s) involved and try to reach a consensus on the talk page.

If editors continue to revert to their preferred version they are likely to be blocked from editing. This isn't done to punish an editor, but to prevent the disruption caused by edit warring. In particular, editors should be aware of the three-revert rule, which says that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. While edit warring on Wikipedia is not acceptable in any amount, breaking the three-revert rule is very likely to lead to a block. Thank you. --ThomasO1989 (talk) 02:13, 24 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

There is existing consensus that RE4 is classified as "Horror survival", and you are editing against consensus. As at least one other editor has already stated, you need to bring it up on the talk page and discuss with other editors instead of trying to force it into the article. It's how Wikipedia works. Even so, if "everyone knows that" then you should have no problem presenting reliable sources that back up that claim. Right now, it doesn't look like you have sources. "RE5 and RE6 aren't survivial horror so RE4 isn't either" is a conjecture and doesn't hold up. --ThomasO1989 (talk) 15:41, 24 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]
You have been blocked for three days due to edit warring. As ThomasO1989 warned you, when you don't agree with something, you need to discuss on the talk pages, not just continually revert/undo other's edits. Also, as stated, you need to go by what reliable sources and consensus dictates. When you return, please discuss and only make changes if there is a general agreement to do so. If you return and keep reverting others edits without consensus, you'll be blocked again. Sergecross73 msg me 14:39, 25 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]
