Please do not remove content or templates from pages on Wikipedia without giving a valid reason for the removal in the edit summary. Your content removal does not appear constructive and has been reverted. Please make use of the sandbox if you'd like to experiment with test edits. Thank you. JNW (talk) 14:54, 16 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Of concern is that your edits appear to be the product of original research; I've not found an instance where you've supported an edit with a reliable source. Please read WP:NOR and WP:RELIABLE. Thank you, JNW (talk) 15:24, 16 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Reverting

Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. You appear to be engaged in an edit war with one or more editors according to your reverts at Red hair. Although repeatedly reverting or undoing another editor's contributions may seem necessary to protect your preferred version of a page, on Wikipedia this is usually seen as obstructing the normal editing process, and often creates animosity between editors. Instead of edit warring, please try to reach a consensus on the talk page.

If editors continue to revert to their preferred version they are likely to be blocked from editing. This isn't done to punish an editor, but to prevent the disruption caused by edit warring. In particular, editors should be aware of the three-revert rule, which says that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. While edit warring on Wikipedia is not acceptable in any amount, breaking the three-revert rule is very likely to lead to a block. Thank you.--McGeddon (talk) 15:22, 16 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

ANI notice

Hello. There is currently a discussion at Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents regarding an issue with which you may have been involved. Thank you. JNW (talk) 15:28, 16 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

May 2013

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war according to the reverts you have made on Red hair. 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.

Please be particularly aware, Wikipedia's policy on edit warring states:

Edit warring is disruptive regardless of how many reverts you have made; that is to say, editors are not automatically "entitled" to three reverts.
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; 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. Drmies (talk) 01:14, 2 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

My apologies. I have reverted my reversion of your revert. :) Jschnur (talk) 01:31, 2 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Good: I saw that and was wondering about it. Drmies (talk) 03:18, 2 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
