Hi 40ac&amule - welcome again to Wikipedia. Please take some time to read the stuff in the links in the welcome message I just left for you. I "watch" the Organic farming article, and what you have been doing there is called edit warring (please read that) and is behavior that can get you blocked. When there are disagreements about editing, we talk, on the Talk page associated with the article. Every article here has a "Talk" page -- this is yours. On an article, you get to the Talk page by clicking the "tab" that says "Talk" near the upper left hand corner of the article.
There are a bunch of what we call policies and guidelines, that the community has built up over the years that govern both content and behavior, that keep this place from becoming a Mad Max-style ugly garbage dump. The fundamental one is WP:CONSENSUS which basically says, when you disagree, talk about it. So please stop edit warring, and start talking at the article Talk page. Oh - wanted to add, that as the person introducing the content that others are disagreeing with the burden is on you to stop edit warring and open a discussion. This is described in WP:BRD (please read that). Thanks! Jytdog ( talk) 22:54, 2 August 2015 (UTC)
..Hi. The third edit was made. By the other party, no? I stopped after that. Respectfully if you didn't look at the CONTENT, to see if it is worthy, why are you blindly assuming I am in the wrong and threatening to blocl me? Please evaluate my work. Only fair. 40ac&amule ( talk)

welcome to Wikipedia. When you add content to

Rather than doing the sums yourself it's usually easier to use the {{ convert}} template. For converting hectares to acres it's very simple: just {{convert|100|ha}} will produce "100 hectares (250 acres)" (because when asked to convert hectares, the template by default will convert them into acres; it also round the figures sensibly). The "convert" parameter has a powerful set of options for the units, the format of the display, the rounding, even the order of the display ("display=flip"). The figure which is put into the template should be the one which is supplied by the source cited. I hope this helps in your troubles over Organic farming. I've used the template in the sentence about 75% of US organic farms. As a new editor, please take some time to learn how things work - you can see a lot of uses of the "convert" template in that article and could have picked up the method from there before putting in so much work to doing your own conversions. There's a lot to learn about editing Wikipedia but it's an interesting journey. Happy Editing. Pam D 07:15, 3 August 2015 (UTC)

Hi 40ac&amule! Thanks for contributing to Wikipedia. Be our guest at the Teahouse! The Teahouse is a friendly space where new editors can ask questions about contributing to Wikipedia and get help from peers and experienced editors. I hope to see you there!

If you mess with units again on the Organic farming article without discussing on the article talk page, I am taking you to 3RR. I tried speaking with you nicely above. If you will not listen to reason, out comes the stick.
You currently appear to be engaged in an
edit war according to the reverts you have made on
Organic farming. Users are expected to
collaborate with others, to avoid editing
disruptively, and to
try to reach a consensus rather than repeatedly undoing other users' edits once it is known that there is a disagreement.
Please be particularly aware that Wikipedia's policy on edit warring states:
If you find yourself in an editing dispute, use the article's talk page to discuss controversial changes; work towards a version that represents consensus among editors. You can post a request for help at an appropriate noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases it may be appropriate to request temporary page protection. If you engage in an edit war, you may be blocked from editing. Jytdog ( talk) 19:22, 3 August 2015 (UTC)
You aren't looking at what is being done. Sloppy, careless reversions. If I make 20 conversions and one is wrong, that is reason to revert all twenty??? 40ac&amule ( talk)
No WONDER most people get discouraged and leave. No thanks for work, frequent deletions. If I am working for this page, for free, you can at least treat me with some respect and give me the benefit of the doubt that I am donating my time constructively. It is not wise to "punish" VOLUNTEERS like they are paid employees.
