I was trying to edit some questions and got a message saying that I have been temporarily banned for editing. Why did that happen and for how long will this ban last?

8 out of the 13 suggested edits you have done have been rejected, as shown here

So you must have ran into the automatic ban threshold by having too many rejected edits and not enough approved ones. The message you got tells you how long the ban will be.

Please review the rejected edits on that paged I linked to, and when you are able to edit again, please try to fix all the issues in the post, and make sure tag edits are really necessary. It seems that many reviewers did not think a lot of your tag edits were necessary.

Do note that only review bans and account suspensions can be manual and are applied in severe cases of not improving after receiving automatic bans.

    Edit bans are always automatic. Only review bans, and entire account suspensions, can be manual. – BoltClock Dec 13 '14 at 6:40

    @BallPython Yes it does. Look where it says either "approved edit" or "rejected edit" , for each suggested edit. Click on the rejected ones, and read why they were rejected. – CRABOLO Dec 13 '14 at 6:42

    @BallPython: The message you received tells you exactly this. – BoltClock Dec 13 '14 at 6:55

    @Lucky: FYI, this wasn't true at the time of this discussion. – BoltClock May 28 '15 at 11:02
  • It seems that the edit ban duration is no longer included in the message. – Erik Humphrey Sep 24 at 19:21
