Information icon Hello, I'm NeilN. I noticed that you recently removed some content from Pi Kappa Alpha without explaining why. In the future, it would be helpful to others if you described your changes to Wikipedia with an edit summary. If this was a mistake, don't worry: I restored the removed content. If you would like to experiment, you can use the sandbox. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thanks!

I've reverted you as uncalled for is an opinion and the source you used was describing a lawsuit, not stating facts. --NeilN talk to me 20:49, 20 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Welcome!

[edit]

Information icon Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. You appear to be engaged in an edit war with one or more editors according to your reverts at John M. Phillips. 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. — MusikAnimal talk 01:29, 10 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Edit warring on John M. Phillips

[edit]

Please let me know what's going on with this article. It looks to me like an IP hopper is continually removing your contributions, which I think, are well sourced and constructive. Let him remove it, edit warring is not the way to go, you can get blocked for that. Start a discussion on the talk page as to why you think the content should be retained, and we'll go from there. If the IP does not respond we will restore the content and deal with him, perhaps semi-protect the page to prevent further disruption from IPs. Let me know if you need help, thanks. — MusikAnimal talk 01:39, 10 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war according to the reverts you have made on John M. Phillips. Users are expected to collaborate with others, to avoid editing disruptively, and to try to reach a consensus rather than repeatedly undoing other users' edits once it is known that there is a disagreement.

Please be particularly aware, Wikipedia's policy on edit warring states:

  1. Edit warring is disruptive regardless of how many reverts you have made; that is to say, editors are not automatically "entitled" to three reverts.
  2. Do not edit war even if you believe you are right.

If you find yourself in an editing dispute, use the article's talk page to discuss controversial changes; work towards a version that represents consensus among editors. You can post a request for help at an appropriate noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases it may be appropriate to request temporary page protection. If you engage in an edit war, you may be blocked from editing.MusikAnimal talk 14:56, 10 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Notice of Edit warring noticeboard discussion

[edit]

Hello. This message is being sent to inform you that there is currently a discussion involving you at Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Edit warring regarding a possible violation of Wikipedia's policy on edit warring. Thank you.

ANEW

[edit]

I've reviewed the report filed against you at WP:ANEW. It appears that you are adding negative material to the John M. Phillips article, and various IPs, who may be the same individual, are removing it. This has been going on for quite some time. You have made very few edits to Wikipedia. You have never participated in any discussions. Your edits appear to revolve around Alabama and sports. Frankly, based on your history on the Phillips article, I think your conduct warrants a block for slow edit warring and for WP:BLP violations. However, because you often don't edit, I would have to make the block fairly long to do any good.

Therefore, consider this a warning. I am going to semi-protect the article. That will keep the IPs from editing the article. However, it won't prevent you from editing the article. If you add material to the article that I deem to be a BLP violation, even if only in part, I will block you without any further warning or notice.--Bbb23 (talk) 19:59, 11 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I was looking at your recent changes and some of them appear to be very useful and others not so much. The link for 47 appears appropriate, but the one for the Range does not. Also, I don't in either of the links about the Birmingham pledge being done by an Pi Kappa Alpha alumnus. (The search for alumni doesn't appear to be something that is usable for anyone who clicks on it)Naraht (talk) 19:16, 25 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Warning icon Please stop your disruptive editing. If you continue to blank out or remove portions of page content, templates, or other materials from Wikipedia, as you did at Pi Kappa Alpha, you may be blocked from editing. Thank you. SummerPhD (talk) 22:21, 6 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
