Hello, Kelseyferrell, and welcome to Wikipedia! My name is Shalor and I work with the Wiki Education Foundation; I help support students who are editing as part of a class assignment.
I hope you enjoy editing here. If you haven't already done so, please check out the student training library, which introduces you to editing and Wikipedia's core principles. You may also want to check out the Teahouse, a community of Wikipedia editors dedicated to helping new users. Below are some resources to help you get started editing.

If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to contact me on my talk page. Shalor (Wiki Ed) ( talk) 20:35, 23 January 2018 (UTC)
Hello, and
welcome to Wikipedia. You appear to be repeatedly
reverting or undoing other editors' contributions at
Santa Cruz, California. 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.
I've explained my removal completely with links to applicable policies in my edit summaries. You have yet to proffer any argument answering them. I'm only here to create an encyclopedia. It's not my problem you don't understand how Wikipedia works. You have an instructor that is getting paid to help you do that. Since myself and the vast majority of Wikipedia editors are volunteering here to create an encyclopedia, I choose not to waste my time on someone who is not just here just to create an encyclopedia, but also to obtain a grade, and has someone who is paid to instruct them. Make an argument for inclusion ( WP:OSE is not an argument) and I'll be happy to rebut it. Keep in mind the article you are editing is on a community, not a social issue, and make no mistake, it is on you to make a convincing argument that addresses my stated reasons for removal. Content is decided on consensus. John from Idegon ( talk) 01:34, 18 May 2018 (UTC)
