April 2019

Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. You appear to be repeatedly reverting or undoing other editors' contributions at Genocide of indigenous peoples. Although this may seem necessary to protect your preferred version of a page, on Wikipedia this is known as "edit warring" and is usually seen as obstructing the normal editing process, as it often creates animosity between editors. Instead of reverting, please discuss the situation with the editor(s) involved and 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 Wikipedia. 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. Edit warring on Wikipedia is not acceptable in any amount, and violating the three-revert rule is very likely to lead to a block. Thank you. GirthSummit _(blether) 18:43, 1 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, I just wanted to drop you a line to add to the above, and to my comments at the Genocide of indigenous peoples talk page. I realise that you're fairly new to editing, and so you might not be aware of certain policies. There are lots mentioned in the welcome template above, but in particular it would be good if you'd be willing to read through verifiability and original research. You seem to be inserting views and interpretations into the article that aren't supported by the sources - this isn't allowed. Alternative viewpoints could be included per WP:WEIGHT, but they would need reliable sources to support them. Given that you obviously feel strongly about this, WP:RGW is worth reading as well.

User:Girth Summit I don't deny I feel strongly about this. I'm literally outraged. I will try to proceed as asked hoping everyone here will discuss with me in good faith. Filologo2 (talk) 14:36, 2 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Hi - I've responded to your latest comments on the talk page. If you don't mind, I wanted to offer a tip on efficient editing. You made a lot of edits to add the last section - it looks like you like to build up text gradually, checking and rewording as you go along. There's nothing wrong with that - I'm very similar in my approach - but it can make the history of a page quite difficult to follow. A better way is either to use the 'Show preview' option between changes, so you don't actually publish your changes until you're ready; or, if you want to stop writing and come back to it later, you can use your sandbox to create a draft, and then copy/paste it into the article or talk page when your ready.

GirthSummit Thank you! Will do. Filologo2 (talk) 21:46, 2 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
