Your recent edits
[edit]Please stop using talk pages such as Flood geology for general discussion of the topic. They are for discussion related to improving the article; not for use as a forum or chat room. If you have specific questions about certain topics, consider visiting our reference desk and asking them there instead of on article talk pages. See here for more information. Thank you.

[edit]Please do not add or change content, as you did to Flood geology, without verifying it by citing reliable sources. Please review the guidelines at Wikipedia:Citing sources and take this opportunity to add references to the article. Thank you. Theroadislong (talk) 22:23, 3 December 2012 (UTC)
Your recent editing history 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. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection. Sædontalk 22:28, 3 December 2012 (UTC)
Creationism
[edit]You may want to have a look at WP:PSEUDOSCIENCE and WP:FRINGE to get an idea of how WP treats creationism. In a nutshell: we don't give creationist claims validity and we present science from the mainstream point of view. Further, in scientific articles we don't throw in creationist viewpoints unless they have been extensively linked in reliable, secondary literature. From WP:PARITY: "Fringe views are properly excluded from articles on mainstream subjects to the extent that they are rarely if ever included by reliable sources on those subjects." So for instance, your edits to Quaternary are unacceptable because they attempt to add irrelevant biblical content to an article about a scientific concept. Please keep these policies in mind as you edit in the future. Sædontalk 22:39, 3 December 2012 (UTC)
Thank you for your contributions. Please remember to mark your edits as "minor" only if they truly are minor edits. In accordance with Help:Minor edit, a minor edit is one that the editor believes requires no review and could never be the subject of a dispute. Minor edits consist of things such as typographical corrections, formatting changes or rearrangement of text without modification of content. Additionally, the reversion of clear-cut vandalism and test edits may be labeled "minor". Thank you. As an example, changing a date is not a minor edit. Some of the edits you described as 'grammar' were actually shifts in content. Dougweller (talk) 09:05, 4 December 2012 (UTC)
