Your recent edits

Hello. In case you didn't know, when you add content to talk pages and Misplaced Pages pages that have open discussion, you should sign your posts by typing four tildes ( ~~~~ ) at the end of your comment. You could also click on the signature button or located above the edit window. This will automatically insert a signature with your username or IP address and the time you posted the comment. This information is useful because other editors will be able to tell who said what, and when they said it. Thank you. --SineBot (talk) 01:35, 6 July 2012 (UTC)

Unconstructive; Mass reverts generally frowned on

Hi; noticed your mass revert of several referenced and justified edits in the Sandra Fluke article. Also noticed a short edit history, so am assuming good faith, that you may be unfamiliar with WP process. It is not generally a good idea to mass revert, especially when individual edits are justified, as there is no way to know what editorial judgement you are contesting. Indiscriminately hitting the "undo" button, called reverting, is called edit warring, and can result in automatic bans. For instance, the biography section that was edited was clipped to remove sections that are poorly sourced, and thus not allowed according to BLP guidelines. This should NOT be reverted unless you have a good source to justify these sections. Reverting minor edits, such as specifying that Fluke was a law student when invited to Congress, can be seen as disruptive also, and subject to banning. Am going to undo your reversion of my edits; don't mind if you then make JUSTIFIED, stepwise alterations - it is understood that editors may disagree. I would however direct you to the rather extensive discussions on Talk (where discussions of edits should take place) where NPOV compromises were made, and from which I took several stable (ie agreed upon) descriptions. Good luck, and welcome to Misplaced Pages. --209.6.69.227 (talk) 02:47, 6 July 2012 (UTC)

Thanks, but your changes were correctly reverted by someone else for adding bias. 24.45.42.125 (talk) 03:27, 6 July 2012 (UTC)

Just to say...

I loved your edit summary here. Arc de Ciel (talk) 22:21, 15 July 2012 (UTC)

Good work on the zombies

Thank you, and please don't take my comment personally. I was encouraging you to bring citations, not discouraging you from using your memory. :-) 24.45.42.125 (talk) 01:05, 16 July 2012 (UTC)

Not at all, I was admiring what you did for Qualia too... and lo! it's you: 06:40, 7 July 2012 LOL... well 125, all I can say is, I hope you'll WP:SIGNUP.—Machine Elf  01:14, 16 July 2012 (UTC)

Your recent editing history shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war. 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 don't violate the three-revert rule—should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly.

To avoid being blocked, instead of reverting please consider using the article's talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. See BRD for how this is done. You can post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection.
