Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute to Wikipedia, at least one of your recent edits, such as the one you made to Tiktaalik, did not appear to be constructive and has been reverted. Please use the sandbox for any test edits you would like to make, and read the welcome page to learn more about contributing constructively to this encyclopedia. Thank you. dave souza, talk 09:38, 27 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Tiktaalik

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war according to the reverts you have made on Tiktaalik. Note that the three-revert rule prohibits making more than three reversions on a single page within a 24-hour period. Additionally, users who perform several reversions in content disputes may be blocked for edit warring even if they do not technically violate the three-revert rule. When in dispute with another editor you should first try to discuss controversial changes to work towards wording and content that gains a consensus among editors. Should that prove unsuccessful, you are encouraged to seek dispute resolution, and in some cases it may be appropriate to request page protection. Please stop the disruption, otherwise you may be blocked from editing. Woogee (talk) 03:15, 28 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

You're being discussed by administrators

Hello BotfieldCatflap. A complaint about your edits has been filed at WP:AN3#BotfieldCatflap reported by Woogee (Result:). Respond there if you wish. You seem to be a single-purpose account, and you do not use talk pages. You may be able to avoid sanctions if you will agree to stop warring on this article.

The case has been closed with a warning to you. If you continue to repeat the same pattern at Tiktaalik, you may be blocked for edit warring. You should use the talk page to persuade others to support your edits, and abide by whatever consensus is reached there. EdJohnston (talk) 04:40, 31 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Block warning

A slow edit war is when you keep inserting spaced-out edits with the same content, for which there is no consensus, and without using the talk page. You are slow edit warring on Tiktaalik. Stop inserting that content until you have consensus for it, or you will be blocked from editing. I'm serious: you have been warned enough times, by me and others. Don't insert it again even once without discussing it on the talkpage first, and convincing the other editors at the article that it belongs there.

It looks like someone read the noticeboard thread before I had a chance to notify you. If you wish to discuss this please see Wikipedia:Administrators'_noticeboard/Incidents#BotfieldCatflap. Durova⁴⁰⁸ 23:47, 4 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Indeed, please remember that Wikipedians prefer to resolve disagreements by discussion when possible -- it's hard to have a discussion when a relevant party won't talk to you. I notice you don't seem to have used a talk page, previously; if you need help using talk pages, please see Help:Talk page. – Luna Santin (talk) 23:51, 4 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]
