My concern about your edits.

I went to An American Tail: The Treasure of Manhattan Island and I’ve noticed you deleted some reasonable information. I’ve viewed the end of the film as some elements on Native Americans were researched from Stockbridge Munsee Community and you think it’s not true the way you deleted it as describing them grammatical error. Is there anything you don’t want anyone to know about the film’s background? Retrosunshine2006 talk 18:24, 27 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Buffalo8, it's helpful to add edit summaries and thank you for doing so, but please do not put misleading edit summaries. Most of your edit summaries inaccurately refer to grammatical errors. Please use more appropriate summaries to describe your edits, thanks. Schazjmd (talk) 18:57, 27 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Please don't claim to correct "grammatical errors" when you change the content/meaning of a statement. That's misleading (WP:SUMMARYNO). –Austronesier (talk) 13:29, 7 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

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 gender-related disputes or controversies or in people associated with them. 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.

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war according to the reverts you have made on Intelligence quotient. This means that you are repeatedly changing content back to how you think it should be although other editors disagree. Users are expected to collaborate with others, to avoid editing disruptively, and to try to reach a consensus, rather than repeatedly undoing other users' edits once it is known that there is a disagreement.

Points to note:

Edit warring is disruptive regardless of how many reverts you have made;
Do not edit war even if you believe you are right.

If you find yourself in an editing dispute, use the article's talk page to discuss controversial changes and work towards a version that represents consensus among editors. You can post a request for help at an appropriate noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, it may be appropriate to request temporary page protection. If you engage in an edit war, you may be blocked from editing. Generalrelative (talk) 04:49, 7 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I have also noticed that your edits here go far beyond correcting a grammatical error, which is what your edit summary claims. I see that you've been warned for this exact behavior by Austronesier in the past. This type of things is easy to forgive if it only happens once or twice, but if it persists in the face of warnings, and indeed if it goes along with other disruptive behavior like edit warring, it will likely lead to loss of editing privileges eventually.

You are continuing to edit war at Intelligence quotient. Despite my request to start a discussion on the talk page if necessary you have restored this disputed content three times today [1][2][3] after having initially attempted to add it on 13 November [4]. Please be advised that reverting again will mean that you have crossed the 3RR red line. Generalrelative (talk) 06:58, 7 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Your recent editing history at Intelligence quotient 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.

Notice of edit warring noticeboard discussion

Hello. This message is being sent to inform you that there is currently a discussion involving you at Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Edit warring regarding a possible violation of Wikipedia's policy on edit warring. The thread is Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Edit warring#User:Buffalo8 reported by User:Firefangledfeathers (Result: ). Thank you. Firefangledfeathers 18:39, 12 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

You have been blocked from editing from certain pages (Intelligence quotient) for a period of 1 week for edit warring. Once the block has expired, you are welcome to make useful contributions.

During a dispute, you should first try to discuss controversial changes and seek consensus. If that proves unsuccessful, you are encouraged to seek dispute resolution, and in some cases it may be appropriate to request page protection.

If you think there are good reasons for being unblocked, please read the guide to appealing blocks, then add the following text below the block notice on your talk page: {{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}}. EvergreenFir (talk) 18:44, 12 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
