July 2013

Hello, I'm Dbrodbeck. I noticed that you made a change to an article, Aspartame, but you didn't provide a reliable source. It's been removed for now, but if you'd like to include a citation and re-add it, please do so! If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. The source you are adding is not a reliable source, please read WP:RS. Thanks.

Your recent editing history shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war. Being involved in an edit war can result in your 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.

To avoid being blocked, instead of reverting please consider using the article's talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. See BRD for how this is done. You can post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection. Yobol (talk) 15:56, 5 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I don't understand how a souce that compares souces of Aspartame reviews isn't reliable souce. Please explain. Everything in the http://www.dorway.com/peerrev.html deal directly with the controversy of bias. I wouldn't expect such controversy to be "peer reviewed".

Reliable sources; how to work with other editors

Hi Fess-it. I see you are interested in the Aspartame article. You have tried to add two sources that do not meet Wikipedia's standards for reliable sourcing. Please see WP:RS for the policy on what "reliable sources" are. More importantly, your additions were reverted by other editors, but you have simply re-inserted them. This is called "edit warring" and doing it can get you banned from Wikipedia. (see WP:3RR) Please don't edit war. The best approach goes like this - "be Bold and make edits; if you are Reverted, then Discuss on the talk page until there is consensus about the changes." Short name for this is "BRD" and you can read about it here: WP:BRD. Following BRD is a much more "wiki" way to work, and will help you avoid the nastiness of edit warring and getting banned. Thanks and good luck. Jytdog (talk) 15:58, 5 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Additional note - even as I was writing my note, you were getting stern warnings about edit warring, above. Edit warring is really not a good thing... Jytdog (talk) 16:01, 5 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
