Hi, I've been blocked for breaking the 3RR on "The Sword of the Prophet". I freely admit it, though the violation was inadvertent. My problem is that the reason given on the block list includes the rider "has been warned at least once". A cursory glance at my talk page will show this is not true, in fact I was not warned at all, nor invited to revert. While I accept the imposition of the block as a measured punishment for my absent-mindedness, I resent the fact that the impression is given that I wilfully ignored a warning about reverting. I am unsure whether the fault lies with the administrator (Thryduulf) who blocked me, or the user (Jayjg) who filed the 3RR violation. Either way, I would like the statement corrected. Thanks,

I would think that this edit:
http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk:Lapsed_Pacifist&diff...
is a clear warning. It may not have been about the same article, but it served to highlight to you the existence of the 3RR, and what to do instead of continuing to revert war.
