Oct 2012

Please do not add commentary or your own personal analysis to Wikipedia articles. Doing so violates Wikipedia's neutral point of view policy and breaches the formal tone expected in an encyclopedia. Thank you. --JimWae (talk) 21:08, 6 October 2012 (UTC)

April 2013

Please stop adding unsourced content, as you did to Pre-Columbian trans-oceanic contact. This contravenes Wikipedia's policy on verifiability. If you continue to do so, you may be blocked from editing Wikipedia. Please read WP:RS. I've looked at your edits and seen nothing constructive. Even your edit at Pepin of Herstal with the edit summary "Few spelling errors and a confusing sentance" was just an attempt to change British English to American English.

McCollum memorandum

Did you know that the full text of the McCollum memorandum is readily available on one of our sister wikis, Wikisource? A link to the full text of the memorandum is available at the bottom of the article, so there's no need to reproduce the full text on this wiki. Please start a discussion on the talk page if you have a valid reason for duplicating the content here on this wiki. Your recent editing history at McCollum memo 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. -- Diannaa (talk) 20:40, 9 August 2013 (UTC)
