Three revert rule: ". Unlike a guideline or policy this is one of the few actual rules Wikipedia enforces." Eh? Guidelines are not enforced, but a number of policies are.
Line 129:
[[WP:HIDDEN|Hidden text]] can be placed in the Wiki text of pages to help out others with editing the page or to indicate other changes that may come about in the future. But it is not to be used to express ownership of a page, or to instruct or discourage others not to make edits to disagree with one's point-of-view.
 
[[WP:EDITSUM|Edit summaries]] are here to let others know how the page was just edited, or to make others looking at the pages's or editor's history aware of the details of previous edits. They are not here to argue a point-of-view, and they are not a substitute for a discussion. In particular, they should not be used to argue back-and-forth during a multiple-revert edit war. Such discussions between two editors should be held on [[WPWikipedia:UTUser talk|user talk pages]] or on the discussion page of the article in question. Besides, when the edit summary is used, each message is considered a revert toward the maximum three, while you can post an unlimited number of civil messages on a talk page.
