Fearsome critters
[edit]
Hi IsaacTheChristianCryptozoologist! I noticed that you have reverted to restore your preferred version of Fearsome critters several times. The impulse to undo an edit you disagree with is understandable, but I wanted to make sure you're aware that the edit warring policy disallows repeated reversions even if they are justifiable.
All editors are expected to discuss content disputes on article talk pages to try to reach consensus. If you are unable to agree at Talk:Fearsome critters, please use one of the dispute resolution options to seek input from others. Using this approach instead of reverting can help you avoid getting drawn into an edit war. I've created a new section for discussion at Talk:Fearsome critters#Tree-Squeak and other critters.

Edit warring warning
[edit]
Your recent editing history at fearsome critters 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; read about 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. ~Anachronist (talk) 22:02, 10 December 2023 (UTC)
Please be constructive
[edit]You're new here. There are some unconstructive things you've done, and you need to stop doing them. Here's some advice.
- Avoid editorializing. Changing "beasts" to "Beastie" without explanation was not constructive.
- If you find yourself getting reverted repeatedly, you'll get blocked if you keep trying to re-instate your preferred version. Instead, discuss your reasoning on the article talk page.
- See WP:BURDEN. The burden is on you to gain consensus for including the material you want to include. Wikipedia works by consensus, and you create consensus by engaging in discussion.
- We don't include inline external links in prose. Instead we include citations to reliable sources. See WP:CITE to learn how to do this.
Don't reinstate your edit again. You'll be blocked if you do. ~Anachronist (talk) 22:02, 10 December 2023 (UTC)
