June 2022[edit]

Hello, I'm Cerebral726. I noticed that you made an edit concerning content related to a living (or recently deceased) person, but you didn't support your changes with a citation to a reliable source. It's been removed and archived in the page history for now. Wikipedia has a very strict policy concerning how we write about living people, so please help us keep such articles accurate and clear. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you! Cerebral726 (talk) 17:50, 1 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Arodpul! I noticed that you have reverted to restore your preferred version of an article several times. The impulse to undo an edit you disagree with is understandable, but I wanted to make sure you're aware that the edit warring policy disallows repeated reversions even if they are justifiable.

All editors are expected to discuss content disputes on article talk pages to try to reach consensus. If you are unable to agree, please use one of the dispute resolution options to seek input from others. Using this approach instead of reverting can help you avoid getting drawn into an edit war. Thank you. Cerebral726 (talk) 17:58, 1 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

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 the bold, revert, discuss cycle 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 do not violate the three-revert rule—should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly.

I'm so sorry for all of this. It's my first time and I'm still learning. I was reverting thinking that it was what I had to do in order to revise and correct the parts of the article I had to improve or change and that I would be the only one who could see the changes while editing.

No worries! When adding content, other users may revert some of your content if they feel it does not meet the policies required by Wikipedia. This is especially true on on biographies of living people, which have stricter requirements. I appreciate you trying to contribute to Wikipedia and hope you will continue to work on it. I recommend familiarizing yourselves with Wikipedia's policies as linked below and feel free to start a discussion on the talk pages about your additions and how they can be improved and integrated into the articles! --Cerebral726 (talk) 18:32, 1 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
