Hello, I'm Shellwood. I wanted to let you know that I reverted one of your recent contributions —specifically this edit to Matt Mumme— because it did not appear constructive. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. If you have any questions, you can ask for assistance at the Help Desk. Thanks. Shellwood (talk) 21:30, 29 December 2018 (UTC)

If this is a shared IP address, and you did not make the edits, consider creating an account for yourself or logging in with an existing account so you can avoid further irrelevant notices.

Matt Mumme is not Hal Mumme. Matt Mumme is Hal Mumme's son, the page is misleading.

His son isn't notable enough to have an article, hence the redirect to the article about his father, where he is mentioned. Shellwood (talk) 21:49, 29 December 2018 (UTC)

Then remove the redirect. People visit the University of Nevada football page and they see Matt Mumme listed as the offensive coordinator, and then they click on it and they read about Hal Mumme. The redirect is absurd and misleading to a naive reader. Matt Mumme is not Hal Mumme, I don't give a shit if Matt Mumme has his own article (although a division 1 offensive coordinator is somewhat notable), but there should not be a redirect to Hal Mumme because it confuses readers.

Your recent editing history shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war; that means that you are repeatedly changing content back to how you think it should be, when you have seen that other editors disagree. 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 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 you 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.

Please do not replace Wikipedia pages with blank content, as you did with this edit to Matt Mumme. Your content removal does not appear to be constructive and has been reverted. If you think that the page should be deleted, please have a look at the following guide:

• Wikipedia:How to delete a page

If you only meant to make a test edit, please use the sandbox for that. Thank you. IronGargoyle (talk) 21:55, 29 December 2018 (UTC)

If you want to delete the page then fine, but it should not redirect. However, it actually is useful information to someone who visits the Nevada wolfpack football page to see that Matt Mumme is Hal Mumme's son, so there is value in having a Matt Mumme page, he certainly wouldn't be the only division 1 offensive coordinator with a wikipedia page. I got halfway into reading the Hal Mumme intro before I said "this feels like I'm reading about Hal Mumme, Hal Mumme isn't Nevada's offensive coordinator, is he? I clicked on it precisely because I thought Matt might be related to Hal.
