Hello. Regarding the recent revert you made to Thousand Oaks shooting: you may already know about them, but you might find Misplaced Pages:Template messages/User talk namespace useful. After a revert, these can be placed on the user's talk page to let them know you considered their edit inappropriate, and also direct new users towards the sandbox. They can also be used to give a stern warning to a vandal when they've been previously warned. Thank you. Gaia Octavia Agrippa 15:31, 8 November 2018 (UTC)

November 2018
Hello. Thank you for your contributions to Misplaced Pages.
When editing Misplaced Pages, there is a field labeled "Edit summary" below the main edit box. It looks like this:
Edit summary (Briefly describe your changes)
Please be sure to provide a summary of every edit you make, even if you write only the briefest of summaries. The summaries are very helpful to people browsing an article's history.
Edit summary content is visible in:
- User contributions
- Recent changes
- Watchlists
- Revision differences
- IRC channels
- Related changes
- New pages list
- Article editing history
Please use the edit summary to explain your reasoning for the edit, or a summary of what the edit changes. You can give yourself a reminder to add an edit summary by setting Preferences → Editing → Prompt me when entering a blank edit summary. Thanks! wumbolo ^^^ 20:00, 27 November 2018 (UTC)
Stalking
You have been following me around from page to page, removing whatever I happen to add. Stop it immediately. It amounts to WP:HARASSMENT. Snooganssnoogans (talk) 20:21, 27 November 2018 (UTC)
- Only when you stop defacing pages with WP:NPOV nonsense to further your political views. You obviously champion the work you do on your talk page, and every edit you make leads to Misplaced Pages becoming a worse place. KidAd (talk) 20:22, 27 November 2018 (UTC)
November 2018
You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war according to the reverts you have made on Newt Gingrich. 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.
Points to note:
- Edit warring is disruptive regardless of how many reverts you have made;
- 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 and 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. ~ GB fan 01:27, 28 November 2018 (UTC)
Warning
Following an opponent around and reverting everything they do on the principle that "every edit you make leads to Misplaced Pages becoming a worse place", without specific or reasonable explanations, is unacceptable. So is playing games with their username in edit summaries, as here and here. And so is edit warring without engaging on the talkpage, as you did at Pat McCrory. I see you have also been edit warring on Newt Gingrich. Don't treat Misplaced Pages as a battleground, and do use talkpages for discussion, or you will be blocked for harassment and disruptive editing. Bishonen | talk 09:49, 28 November 2018 (UTC).
