Hello, and
welcome to Wikipedia. You appear to be repeatedly
reverting or undoing other editors' contributions at
209 (number). Although this may seem necessary to protect your preferred version of a page, on Wikipedia this is known as "
edit warring" and is usually seen as obstructing the
normal editing process, as it often creates animosity between editors. Instead of reverting, 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 Wikipedia. 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. Edit warring on Wikipedia is not acceptable in any amount, and violating the three-revert rule is very likely to lead to a block. Thank you. — Arthur Rubin (talk) 02:22, 2 January 2018 (UTC)

Hi Genesyz. Speaking as an uninvolved administrator you really do need to use Talk:209 (number) to talk about this dispute. Editors who just push through the same changes again and again usually wind up blocked. I've protected the article for a day so no one can edit it. Please use this time to talk to the other editors. Reading WP:DR might give you some ideas. -- NeilN talk to me 21:00, 3 January 2018 (UTC)
An editor has raised questions about some of the sources you've used. Please check the talk page. -- NeilN talk to me 21:42, 3 January 2018 (UTC)

I'm sorry for the way you've been treated here. There's an endemic problem at the moment with some admins who aren't welcoming to individuals such as yourself. I'm more than happy to help you, but as you can imagine (and see), I'm also being treated in the same way. Keep up the good work, don't be discouraged, you're way beyond needing help per NeilN's advice, you need detailed and expert help and that was what I was hoping you'd get from Eppstein (an admin) and Rubin (a former admin), instead of the completely discouraging barrage of edits and threats you received. Let me know if I can help in the future. The Rambling Man ( talk) 22:14, 7 January 2018 (UTC)
