Hello and welcome to Wikipedia. Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. The following links will help you begin editing on Wikipedia:
The Wikipedia tutorial is a good place to start learning about Wikipedia. If you have any questions, see the help pages, add a question to the village pump or ask me on my talk page. By the way, you can sign your name on Talk and discussion pages using four tildes, like this: ~~~~ (the software will replace them with your signature and the date). Again, welcome! agtx 05:24, 24 September 2016 (UTC)
Your recent editing history at Red Shirts (Southern United States) shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war. To resolve the content dispute, please do not revert or change the edits of others when you are reverted. Instead of reverting, please use the article's talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. The best practice at this stage is to discuss, not edit-war. See BRD for how this is done. If discussions reach an impasse, you can then post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection.
Being involved in an edit war can result in your 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. agtx 05:25, 24 September 2016 (UTC)
I have repeatedly provided evidence to support the fact that my edits are correct. If Wikipedia wants to have correct information, then the edits should stand and not be undone simply because people don't agree with what is historically correct information.

You and I have a content dispute that we're trying to resolve. That's fine. That's how Wikipedia works, and I'm happy to talk through our disagreement at dispute resolution or the talk page. However, going to my user page and making comments unrelated to that dispute for the sole purpose of suggesting that I am not a good editor? That would not appear to be in good faith. If you have an issue with me beyond our content dispute, raise it with me directly. agtx 16:11, 4 October 2016 (UTC)
===I simply provided a new user with what might be a remedy for their "problem" with your overly aggressive "editing". If you take "offence" to my trying to help a newbie to Wikipedia, I am sorry, but I thought that is what this whole experiment was about. Take care now. Btw, I have another issue about your "edit" on the Red Shirts page that I made, but I suppose it won't do any good to present it to you here.
"Rather, editors should not attribute the actions being criticized to malice unless there is specific evidence of such."
Just to clarify, I do assert that there is malice on your part, in your assertion that "Democrat" is somehow "pejorative", yet "white supremacist" is not.

I appreciate that you feel strongly about this issue, and as I said, I am happy to work it out over at dispute resolution (where I have posted an opening statement, as requested by the mediator). If you think the sources I cited are unreliable and you have others, please bring them up there. I don't think that the way you're approaching me or this conversation is productive, however, and I'd prefer not to continue it without moderation. agtx 15:27, 5 October 2016 (UTC)
Yes. Your closing comment at DRN is correct. Two editors disagree with you, and that is a very small consensus. So your next reasonable step is indeed a Request for Comments. If you want help writing it neutrally, you can ask me for help. Robert McClenon ( talk) 00:45, 15 October 2016 (UTC)
