Magog - My understanding was that 3RR is a rule that is meant to prevent people from squabbling repeatedly over the same issue, and that ""edit warring"" consisted of people repeatedly going back and forth over the same issue or portion of a page.  The revert you are pointing to was a totally different section of the page, and I reverted it for a totally different reason.  After reading 3RR again, I see that it says ""The four or more reverts that constitute a violation of the rule may involve the same or different material each time. The rule applies per person, not per account; reverts made by multiple accounts count together.""  Can you help me understand this part of the rule?  Why should reverts over completely separate issues, regarding completely different portions of text, and dealing with different opposing editors be counted together?"
