Welcome to Wikipedia. We appreciate your contributions, but in one of your recent edits to USS Indianapolis (CA-35), it appears that you have added original research, which is against Wikipedia's policies. Original research refers to material—such as facts, allegations, ideas, and personal experiences—for which no reliable, published sources exist; it also encompasses combining published sources in a way to imply something that none of them explicitly say. Please be prepared to cite a reliable source for all of your contributions. You can't add your analysis or opinions to the article -- only analysis and opinion of reliable published sources.

Please do not add original research or novel syntheses of published material to articles as you apparently did to USS Indianapolis (CA-35). Please cite a reliable source for all of your contributions. Thank you. MPS1992 (talk) 23:01, 28 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. You appear to be repeatedly reverting or undoing other editors' contributions at USS Indianapolis (CA-35). 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 be blocked from editing Wikipedia. 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 block. Thank you. MPS1992 (talk) 23:02, 28 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Your recent editing history at USS Indianapolis (CA-35) 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 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 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. ~Oshwah~^{(talk) (contribs)} 21:03, 1 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Please do not delete or edit legitimate talk page comments, as you did at Talk:USS Indianapolis (CA-35). Such edits are disruptive, and may appear to other editors to be vandalism. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. Thank you. MPS1992 (talk) 19:27, 2 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Please do not add unsourced or original content, as you did with this edit to USS Indianapolis (CA-35). Doing so violates Wikipedia's verifiability policy. If you continue to do so, you will be blocked from editing Wikipedia. ~Oshwah~^{(talk) (contribs)} 19:45, 2 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
