Hello AnthonyKluska, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thanks for your contributions to Capitalism. Unfortunately, I had to undo four of your recent edits to the article, because the lead is an introduction to the article, and is not the place to attempt to start making your first changes to the encyclopedia. Wikipedia is a collaborative project, and works through consensus. I see that you've already gotten some pushback from several editors, including very experienced User:Grayfell (who helped me early in my Wikipedia career with pushback on some of my edits), as well as from two other editors.
In general, it's better to start with small changes to the body of the article first, taking care to observe the key Wikipedia principles of Verifiability, neutral point of view, and due weight, and then see how other editors react to your changes. After getting consensus among editors on changes to the body, only then should you attempt changes to the WP:LEAD, following the principle of WP:LEADFOLLOWSBODY.
When you get pushback from other editors about article content, the thing to do is stop editing the article, and raise a discussion on the article Talk page, instead. The Talk page is where editors go, to discuss changes to the article, and to attempt to arrive at a consensus about the content. This is where you are now, so if you wish to continue editing the Capitalism article, my recommendation to you, would be to go to the Talk page. You can get there by going to Capitalism, and clicking the "Talk" tab top left.
If you have any questions, feel free to {{
reply}} to me below, or contact me on my Talk page. In addition, you can seek help from an experienced user at any time, by adding a new section to your talk page, and including the token {{Help me}}
somewhere in your message. Once again, welcome to Wikipedia, and I hope you enjoy it here, and decide to stay!

Thank you for reaching out and being kind.
I did add some ideas to the talk page. And I will allow someone to take those ideas and edit them instead of me.
I can also look for other articles to edit that are a bit less advanced. In order to cut my teeth. AnthonyKluska ( talk) 23:20, 30 October 2019 (UTC)

![]() Being involved in an edit war can result in you being blocked from editing—especially if you violate the three-revert rule, which states that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Undoing another editor's work—whether in whole or in part, whether involving the same or different material each time—counts as a revert. Also keep in mind that while violating the three-revert rule often leads to a block, you can still be blocked for edit warring—even if you don't violate the three-revert rule—should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly.
