Your recent editing history shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war. To resolve the content dispute, please do not revert or change the edits of others when you get reverted. Instead of reverting, please use the article's talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. The best practice at this stage is to discuss, not edit-war. See BRD for how this is done. If discussions reach an impasse, you can then post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection.

Being involved in an edit war can result in your 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.

There has been a long standing general consensus at Blu-ray, that the industry standard practice us using frame rates should be used. Occasionally we get a lone editor determined to hammer in the non standard field rates for the interlaced formats. You seem to be a new editor determined to do the same. Although a fourth revert would not be within 24 hours it still counts as edit warring and will likely result in an WP:AN3 complaint which will likely result in you being blocked from editing. 85.255.233.161 (talk) 11:59, 5 October 2015 (UTC)

@85.255.233.161: I am well aware of the three-revert rule, and am trying to avoid an edit war, but it's made difficult when people like you keep making changes without providing any evidence to support them. In the talk page so far, there are 2 people who agree with you, and two who disagree, so hardly a consensus. Please have this discussion there instead of attempting to chastise me for acting within the the rules.Uk55 (talk) 15:35, 5 October 2015 (UTC)

85.255.233.161, can I ask if you usually edit logged in and, if so, what your username is? There aren't many contributions from your IP address. Cordless Larry (talk) 21:13, 6 October 2015 (UTC)
