Important Notice

This is a standard message to notify contributors about an administrative ruling in effect. It does not imply that there are any issues with your contributions to date.

You have shown interest in the intersection of race/ethnicity and human abilities and behaviour. Due to past disruption in this topic area, a more stringent set of rules called discretionary sanctions is in effect. Any administrator may impose sanctions on editors who do not strictly follow Wikipedia's policies, or the page-specific restrictions, when making edits related to the topic.

For additional information, please see the guidance on discretionary sanctions and the Arbitration Committee's decision here. If you have any questions, or any doubts regarding what edits are appropriate, you are welcome to discuss them with me or any other editor.

Your edit

I'm not getting involved in the article, but as a matter of course I'd never use a 12 year old survey as evidence for the current state of affairs. Doug Weller talk 09:33, 16 August 2020 (UTC)

Edit warring at Heritability of IQ

Your recent editing history at Heritability of IQ shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war; that means that you are repeatedly changing content back to how you think it should be, when you have seen that other editors disagree. 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 the bold, revert, discuss cycle 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 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 do not violate the three-revert rule—should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly.
Please review the policy WP:BRD. If someone reverts your edit, the proper next step if you disagree is to open a discussion on the article's talk page. And if an RfC is cited, as was the case in my edit summary when reverting you just now, you'll need to show on the talk page how your proposed edit falls within the consensus it found.

I have opened a discussion about this issue on the article's talk page, so I encourage you to participate there instead of edit warring. 2600:1004:B11E:10F3:5DE:11B4:ED6E:8A1C (talk) 17:30, 25 August 2020 (UTC)
