[WikiEN-l] Illegitimate block.

Perhaps the confusion here is the assumption that the first time one adds 
information to (or deletes information from) an article, it is not a 
"revert", but the subsequent 3 additions (and deletions) are "reverts".  
Thus "3 reverts in 24 hours" can mean 1 edit, then 3 reverts to it.
