[edit]Your recent editing history at Timothy Leary 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 don't violate the three-revert rule—should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly.
Placing this here so you are aware -----Snowded TALK 07:48, 26 January 2020 (UTC)
Be aware that Three days is nit a right - persistent edit warring over several days without talk page agreement can result in a ban. Do it again and I will make a report with a request for a block -----Snowded TALK 07:17, 27 January 2020 (UTC)
- Are you prepared to agree that you will stop edit warring until there is a clear consenus on the talk page? If so I will hold off making a 3RR report -----Snowded TALK 07:21, 21 February 2020 (UTC)
New book review of “Divine Rascal”, biography of Michael Hollingshead
[edit]Link.
Michael Hollingshead was the man, whom many argue, turned Leary away from his productive clinical research on psilocybin, towards his fruitless religious obsession with LSD. Viriditas (talk) 20:26, 22 February 2020 (UTC)
