[[File:Information.svg|25px|alt=Information icon]] Hello, and [[Wikipedia:Introduction|welcome to Wikipedia]]. You appear to be engaged in an [[Wikipedia:Edit warring|edit war]] with one or more editors. Although repeatedly [[Help:Reverting|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 [[Wikipedia:Editing policy|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 [[Wikipedia:Consensus|consensus]] on the [[Help:Using talk pages|talk page]].

If editors continue to revert to their preferred version they are likely to be [[Wikipedia:Blocking policy|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 [[Wikipedia:Edit warring#The three-revert rule|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 [[Wikipedia:Blocking policy|block]]. Thank you.<!-- Template:uw-ewsoft --> [[User:Weegeerunner|Weegeerunner]] ([[User talk:Weegeerunner|talk]]) 21:27, 12 December 2014 (UTC)

==Articles and their "talk pages"==
Hello again, ALPCA 5632. I'm Peter in Australia and I edit Wikipedia under the screen or "username" Shirt58.<br />
Wikipedia's encyclopedia articles also have pages where you can discuss the article content and talk about improvements. For example, you can discuss the article [[Vehicle registration plates of Pennsylvania]] on its "talk page" [[Talk:Vehicle registration plates of Pennsylvania]]. Wikipedia is a collaborative project, and we look forward to hearing your views about the article there.<br />

:Hi ALPCA, assuming that stands for [[Automobile License Plate Collectors Association]], I am a member as well. Assuming you are logged in and have seen this request and other conversations, I strongly encourage you to respond or at least participate in the discussion. Regards, --[[User:Scalhotrod|Scalhotrod]] [[User_talk:Scalhotrod|(Talk)]] ☮ღ☺ 19:07, 13 December 2014 (UTC)
