Your reversions

Welcome to Wikipedia. Although we invite everyone to contribute constructively to our encyclopedia, at least one of your recent edits, such as the one you made to Lewis Libby, was not constructive and has been reverted or removed. Please use the sandbox for any test edits you would like to make, and take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. Thank you.

Please see talk pages of articles before making controversial and contentious reversions. Thank you. I replaced [material that you deleted] to the position it was before your edit (yesterday) and then deleted the material for reasons given in talk page and in expanded note in talk page. It appears to be inaccurate. The example of a "White House official" seems to be of a cabinet officier, and Cisneros [also a cabinet officer] was indicted much more recently than 130 years ago. If you keep making changes of this kind without consulting the talk page or discussing it with others, your changes may be viewed as Wikipedia:Vandalism and reverted without further explanation. Please go to Talk:Lewis Libby and reply there (not on my personal talk page); this matter involves prior discussion on the talk page of the article. Please edit more responsibly. Thank you. --NYScholar 21:58, 8 July 2007 (UTC) [corrected in brackets. --NYScholar 16:54, 9 July 2007 (UTC)]

National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2012

Hi Prevenient, thanks for your interest in this article. Please note that the sections pertaining to indefinite detention in the final version of the bill are 1021-1022, not 1031-1032. The sections 1031-1032 come from an earlier version of the bill, not the version signed into law. This is noted in the talk pages of the article. -Thucydides411 (talk) 18:37, 11 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Disambiguation link notification for February 13

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Richard M. Weaver, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Functionalism (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Edit warring

What you are doing on Debbie Stabenow is known as "edit warring". Please cut it out. Jason A. Quest (talk) 19:45, 17 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

User "AlsoWukai" has presented invalid Edit summary rational for twice undoing my last two edits toDebbie Stabenow. I have responded in my own Edit summary, most recently that my "Primary sources are "Congress.gov" & "US Senate Roll Call" Editorial Review again requested." In order to avoid "edit warring," the 24hr Wkipedia waiting-period guideline will now be followed. Thank you for your input. Prevenient (talk) 20:58, 18 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I am unacquainted with the process for third-party review or dispute resolution requests and would thus appreciate some explicit guidance in how best to proceed going forward. Any assistance on this matter would be sincerely appreciated. Prevenient (talk) 05:49, 19 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
