A belated welcome!
[edit]
Here's wishing you a belated welcome to Wikipedia, 9and50swans. I see that you've already been around a while and wanted to thank you for your contributions. Though you seem to have been successful in finding your way around, you may benefit from following some of the links below, which help editors get the most out of Wikipedia:
- Introduction
- The five pillars of Wikipedia
- Contributing to Wikipedia
- How to edit a page
- Help pages
- How to write a great article
- Editor's index to Wikipedia
Also, when you post on talk pages you should sign your name using four tildes (~~~~); that should automatically produce your username and the date after your post.
I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! If you have any questions, feel free to leave me a message on my talk page, consult Wikipedia:Questions, or place {{helpme}} on your talk page and ask your question there.
Again, welcome! Shirt58 (talk) 08:20, 16 September 2017 (UTC)
Your recent editing history at Plimpton 322 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. I count four reverts by you today of the removal of the NPOV tag. That puts you already over the line, and the only thing that saves you from being subject to blocking for it is that nobody seems to have explicitly warned you not to do that. So consider this your warning. —David Eppstein (talk) 22:15, 18 September 2017 (UTC)
- I count three reverts.
- All four of your instances of adding the tag today were reverts, as were two on the 15th (the third on the 15th doesn't count because you un-reverted yourself). —David Eppstein (talk) 22:25, 18 September 2017 (UTC)
- It was a different tag. 9and50swans (talk) 22:27, 18 September 2017 (UTC)
