: ''This does not imply that reverting three times or fewer is acceptable. In excessive cases, people can be blocked for edit warring or disruption even if they do not revert more than three times per day.''
== Attempts to evade detection ==
Certain editors attempt to evade disciplinary action by using several practices when disrupting articles:
* their edits occur over a long period of time; in this case, no single edit may be clearly disruptive, but the overall pattern is disruptive
* their edits are largely confined to talk-pages, such disruption may not directly harm an article, but it often prevents other editors from reaching consensus on how to improve an article
* their edits often avoid gross breaches of [[WP:Civility|civility]], especially by refraining from [[WP:NPA|personal attacks]], even though they interfere with civil and collaborative editing meant to improve the article
* their edits remain limited to a small number of pages that very few people watch
* conversely, their edits may be distributed over a wide range of articles that few people watch.
Nonetheless, such disruptive editing violates site policy.
