[edit]

Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute to Wikipedia, at least one of your recent edits, such as the one you made to Lawrence (Larry) R. Goldfarb, did not appear to be constructive and has been reverted or removed. Please use the sandbox for any test edits you would like to make, and read the welcome page to learn more about contributing constructively to this encyclopedia. The reverted edit can be found here. pluma Ø 04:20, 18 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

[edit]

Question: Hi Popandlockitfool, may I ask why my revisions are continually being undone by you? I don't believe the edits I made are inaccurate or biased. If they appear so, can you suggest a rewording my edits? My apologies in advance if this format appears crude, I am still learning how to use this function of Wikipedia. --Feversleeved

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war according to the reverts you have made on Lawrence R. Goldfarb. 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, Wikipedia's policy on edit warring states:

  1. Edit warring is disruptive regardless of how many reverts you have made; that is to say, editors are not automatically "entitled" to three reverts.
  2. 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. Slon02 (talk) 23:15, 28 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

[edit]

Hi - I closed the report at the noticeboard - Basically the edit warring has ot stop or editing privilages will be removed. Please use the Talk:Lawrence R. Goldfarb more and stop the reverting. You will need to find reliable and independent sources WP:RS to suggest additions. As an account solely focused on this person Please avoid appearances of WP:COI - if you have one, its better if you don't edit the article at all and simply post your suggestions for article improvement on the talkpage for uninvolved users to assess - thanks Youreallycan 16:55, 13 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Well User:Popandlockitfool, judging by the comment above I'd say the same applies to you kind sir. Feversleeved (talk) 19:57, 13 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

User:Popandlockitfool, Your childish excitement over this is exhausting and completely misses the point that I wanted constructive and accurate editing. This isn't about winning an edit war, it's about curating this article with integrity... but I'll take your opinions with a grain of salt. Thank you.
