December 2017

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war according to the reverts you have made on C. S. Lewis. 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 that Wikipedia's policy on edit warring states:

Edit warring is disruptive regardless of how many reverts you have made.
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. Walter Görlitz (talk) 23:07, 7 December 2017 (UTC) Also, there's no notable ideas parameter, and {{Infobox philosopher}} was filled out incorrectly. All were reverted, but I would have saved them. As for British vs. something else, on the talk there is "Irish not British". In the archives there are several starting with "Old" in archive 1. Please start a new discussion. Walter Görlitz (talk) 23:11, 7 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Your recent editing history at Creation science shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war. 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. See BRD for 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 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.

New atheism

Sorry to have to revert you at New atheism. The content you were removing was added as part of a merge from Evangelical atheism per this discussion at AfD: Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Evangelical atheism. I made this same mistake myself. — jmcgnh^{(talk) (contribs)} 23:28, 9 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Plato

I see that your additions to the Plato infobox were reverted. The edit summary left by Tajotep was perhaps too terse. The real reason your additions should not have been added is that these subjects are subsumed under the edit Omnipaedista had made earlier the same day; by replacing several topics in the infobox with a link to Template:Platonism, they simplified the infobox presentation. The infobox is not a place to put an exhaustive list. — jmcgnh^{(talk) (contribs)} 20:21, 12 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

December 2017

Welcome to Wikipedia. Everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia. However, talk pages are meant to be a record of a discussion; deleting or editing legitimate comments, as you did at Talk:Intelligent_design, is considered bad practice, even if you meant well. Even making spelling and grammatical corrections in others' comments is generally frowned upon, as it tends to irritate the users whose comments you are correcting. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. Thank you. Tgeorgescu (talk) 15:03, 13 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Hello and welcome to Wikipedia. When you add content to talk pages and Wikipedia pages that have open discussion (but never when editing articles), such as at User talk:Contaldo80, please be sure to sign your posts. There are two ways to do this. Either:

Add four tildes ( ~~~~ ) at the end of your comment; or
With the cursor positioned at the end of your comment, click on the signature button ( or ) located above the edit window.

This will automatically insert a signature with your username or IP address and the time you posted the comment. This information is necessary to allow other editors to easily see who wrote what and when.

Thank you. Drm310 🍁 (talk) 19:01, 13 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Disambiguation link notification for December 14

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Tie-sign, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Proximity (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. (Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.)

It's OK to remove this message. Also, to stop receiving these messages, follow these opt-out instructions. Thanks, DPL bot (talk) 18:30, 14 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
