Your Recent Edits

Hello EddiPen!

I noticed in your recent edits that you added some very POV statements and entire sentences to the article Carly Fiorina and referred to them as "completed the sentence" in the edit summary. In the future, please make sure your edit summary is an accurate reflection of the changes you've made so other editors can quickly assess the changes made. Misrepresenting your changes as something other than what they are in the edit summary is ill-advised and will cause people to wrongly assume bad faith in your edits! Hope you're enjoying your time on wikipedia and feel free to reach out to me if you have any questions! Cheers, Immortal Horrors or Everlasting Splendors 12:56, 17 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Edit warring at Carly Fiorina

Your recent editing history at Carly Fiorina shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war. To resolve the content dispute, please do not revert or change the edits of others when you get reverted. Instead of reverting, please use the article's 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 your 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.

NOTE the part about BRD above. Follow it. Stick to discussion and reach a consensus. If other editors don't agree with you, your edits will never "stick". It matters not how right you are, you will be blocked if you violate the bright line rule of 3RR. You must stick to discussion. -- BullRangifer (talk) 03:02, 28 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Edit summaries

Please use accurate edit summaries. Recycling the same edit summary for other types of edits won't do. I'm going to place a welcome template at the top of this page. It contains many helpful links to policies and guidelines. Study them and you'll be a much better editor. Also remember to check and refresh the "history" before you make a new edit. Edit summaries there are very important. They often contain information which will help you know whether to proceed or not.

Above all, don't do anything that can be construed as edit warring. Whenever there's a difference of opinion about an edit, don't fight over who's right by editing. Do it by discussing civilly on the talk page. We edit collaboratively here and cooperation is essential. This isn't your own website or blog. Just because you can make an edit doesn't mean you should.

We have all been newbies here and made many mistakes. Try to keep a clean block log. Your reputation is your best, and often only, capital here. Guard it. The best way to learn is to follow the cues you get from other editors. A rebuff should cause you to stop and think, and maybe ask the editor "Why?". Learn how to do things from more experienced editors. I've been here since about 2003, so if you need help, don't hesitate to ask. -- BullRangifer (talk) 03:33, 28 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Graham Gano edit

Hi. Re: this edit, is there a citation for this? --MZMcBride (talk) 17:13, 8 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Quite possibly every news organization. --EddiPen (talk) 03:19, 9 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

January 2020

This is a standard message to notify contributors about an administrative ruling in effect. It does not imply that there are any issues with your contributions to date.

You have shown interest in post-1932 politics of the United States and closely related people. Due to past disruption in this topic area, a more stringent set of rules called discretionary sanctions is in effect. Any administrator may impose sanctions on editors who do not strictly follow Wikipedia's policies, or the page-specific restrictions, when making edits related to the topic.

For additional information, please see the guidance on discretionary sanctions and the Arbitration Committee's decision here. If you have any questions, or any doubts regarding what edits are appropriate, you are welcome to discuss them with me or any other editor.

This covers, e.g., Steele dossier. As a new and inexperienced editor you should be wary of subjects like this and discuss changes on the Talk page first. Guy (help!) 09:48, 24 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
