Hi Chicagoismyhomie! Thanks for contributing to Wikipedia. |
Greetings, thanks for your message on my talk page. First off, please stop reverting the article! What you are doing is called edit warring, and it is not a productive means of attempting to improve the article. As you might imagine, conflict is a natural part of collaborative editing and it is routine to stick with the status quo while resolving disagreements. See the essay on the "bold, revert, discuss" cycle for a longer explanation. VQuakr ( talk) 04:07, 3 December 2013 (UTC)
Hello, and
welcome to Wikipedia. You appear to be engaged in an
edit war with one or more editors according to your reverts at
Mint Press News. Although repeatedly
reverting or undoing another editor's contributions may seem necessary to protect your preferred version of a page, on Wikipedia this is usually seen as obstructing the
normal editing process, and often creates animosity between editors. Instead of edit warring, please discuss the situation with the editor(s) involved and try to reach a
consensus on the
talk page.
If editors continue to revert to their preferred version they are likely to be blocked from editing. This isn't done to punish an editor, but to prevent the disruption caused by edit warring. In particular, editors should be aware of the three-revert rule, which says that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. While edit warring on Wikipedia is not acceptable in any amount, breaking the three-revert rule is very likely to lead to a block. Thank you. VQuakr ( talk) 21:54, 12 December 2013 (UTC)
Hello, I'm
BracketBot. I have automatically detected that
your edit to
Mint Press News may have broken the
syntax by modifying 1 "[]"s. If you have, don't worry: just
edit the page again to fix it. If I misunderstood what happened, or if you have any questions, you can leave a message on
my operator's talk page.

You currently appear to be engaged in an
edit war according to the reverts you have made on
Mint Press News. 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, 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. VQuakr ( talk) 18:20, 4 February 2014 (UTC)
