Harvey Milk
I wanted to make sure you saw this. I have documented my reasons for leaving out the subheading "Outing Sipple" on Harvey Milk's article's talk page, and accommodated your preference not to use quotes. However, you again inserted "Outing Sipple" into the subheading, despite my giving reasons why this is inappropriate. If you continue to do this without discussing the changes on the talk page, you may be blocked for edit warring. Please note that a discussion is warranted before changes are made, not the comment then change you performed previously. Thank you. --Moni3 (talk) 14:43, 8 December 2008 (UTC)

Bold-Revert-Discuss
Hi Voooooh. Welcome to Misplaced Pages. You appear to be a very new user, and sometimes it is harder to edit effectively when you aren't familiar with all the rules. I've noticed that you are having a bit of difficulty at Harvey Milk. Generally, changes to Misplaced Pages articles should reflect consensus. When someone (like you) has an issue with a piece of the article, they can first make the edit in the article. If another editor reverts that edit, that means there is not consensus for the change. At this point, no changes should be made to that discussion, and instead the two editors (and any other interested party) should discuss the issue on the article talk page. When a consensus is reached, the article can then be changed again to reflect that. This is called the Bold-Revert-Discuss cycle. It looks like Moni3 has tried to initiate a talk page discussion at Talk:Harvey_Milk#Heroic_things_.2F_Outing_Sipple; it would be really good if you could participate in that before making any other changes. Otherwise, if you continue to make changes to that section without discussion, you could be edit warring, which can result in a temporary block. If you have any questions, please feel free to ask me or any other experienced Wikipedian. Happy editing! Karanacs (talk) 15:09, 11 December 2008 (UTC)
