Welcome to Wikipedia. The
recent edit you made to
Toilet has been reverted, as it appears to be unconstructive. Use the
sandbox for testing; if you believe the edit was constructive, ensure that you provide an informative
edit summary. You may also wish to read the
introduction to editing. Thanks. —

Hello. You rencently made an edit to the Abbas Ibn Firnas article and it was reverted. I thought it was actually productive so I will form a consensus with you. InternetHero ( talk) 11:36, 8 August 2008 (UTC)
The basic rules is this:
1) The community is most important. Not necessarily to a singular community, but the community around any particular reciprocating topic. CONSENSUS
2) Once the community agrees of a general direction, the references come into play. Usually, the references that are most peer-reviewed (indeed, the peer-review could happen with the introduction of it) get to be included, but the secondary references usually will come into play as a backdrop. REFERENCES
3) I just learned that if there is a discussion between to people and neither of them take a 3rd opinion clause (its a 'notice board' that reaches a third-person viewpoint), the arguement would end from dispute resolution. If the editor chooses to edit-war, then try and get an admin to verify the situation. DISPUTE RESOLUTION
4) Don't revert an edit (the same edit) more than 3 times. On the 3rd revert you can get blocked. 3RR
5) Don't copy-past from websites or any other reference. LICENCING
6) There are other misc. policies that can get you into trouble if the other editor has some negative feelings towards you. They're all tied to being disruptive at the end. MISC.
That's all you should worry about for now. Try to read the etiquette policies and always try to dispute resolution 1st. InternetHero ( talk) 12:10, 8 August 2008 (UTC)
