Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. You appear to be engaged in an edit war with one or more editors according to your reverts at David Dorfman. Although repeatedly 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 normal editing process, and often creates animosity between editors. Instead of edit warring, please 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. 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. While edit warring on Wikipedia is not acceptable in any amount, breaking the three-revert rule is very likely to lead to a block. Thank you. Aaron Booth (talk) 01:34, 16 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Tnx for your help and all you contribute to this site. I'm just getting started editing cause I think Wikipeida's a really good resource and I'd like to help out.

What am I doing wrong? I know this guy from class and I put two citations. My edits on other articles haven't been changed so I'm not sure what mistake I'm making.

Well first off, specifics other than a simple mention of where he attends school are beyond the scope of the article on David Dorfman. He is notable per his acting career, not his educational achievements. If there is some third party source that can verify the information (this also includes a source verifying that the David Dorfman in the source is the same individual), then the entry to the article may be able to be added.

Ok tnx a lot. That teahouse thing will really help. About the article, I did include a source that backs it up. Look at my most recent edit and you'll see 'ain't it cool news' interview. It's mentioned about halfway down the page and it says everything I wrote. What do I do next?
