Please do not add original research or novel syntheses of published material to articles as you apparently did to List of bus routes in London. Please cite a reliable source for all of your contributions. Thank you. _Muffled ^Pocketed 08:36, 7 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Was already cited, but have expanded for clarity. Cygnes64 (talk) 16:35, 7 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. You appear to be repeatedly reverting or undoing other editors' contributions at List of bus routes in London. Although this may seem necessary to protect your preferred version of a page, on Wikipedia this is known as "edit warring" and is usually seen as obstructing the normal editing process, as it often creates animosity between editors. Instead of reverting, please discuss the situation with the editor(s) involved and try to reach a consensus on the talk page.

If editors continue to revert to their preferred version they are likely to lose editing privileges. 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. Edit warring on Wikipedia is not acceptable in any amount, and violating the three-revert rule is very likely to lead to a loss of editing privileges. Thank you. _Muffled ^Pocketed 18:21, 7 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
