Edits to Military history of African Americans
[edit]It probably would have been better to do these image edits in your own sandbox page first because they are not formatting well and have created a jumble. Adding a list of names and images from various conflicts in the lead does not fit with the format of the article. At a minimum they should probably be moved down to their appropriate sections in the bottom third of the article (where several are already listed.) Truman's executive order is also covered and linked in a later section. Image formatting is not something I've had much luck with so I would likely have to do a major revert to clean up the page. I encourage you to make changes so that is not needed. Respectfully, Red Harvest (talk) 01:12, 9 April 2015 (UTC)

Hello, I'm BusterD. An edit that you recently made to Military history of African Americans seemed to be a test and has been removed. If you want more practice editing, please use the sandbox. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thanks! BusterD (talk) 12:53, 17 April 2015 (UTC)
- Additionally, I have left a message on the article's talk page for you. Currently, what you are doing by the repeated reverts is called edit warring and can be grounds to have you blocked from editing. Nobody wants that. Valid reasons for why the data has been temporarily removed has been given. Please discuss on the talk page. ScrapIronIV (talk) 15:47, 17 April 2015 (UTC)
Your recent editing history at Military history of African Americans 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 get reverted. Instead of reverting, please use the article's 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.

You have my full support. Any help I can provide I will.
[edit]Several authors have suggested that a new page could be created out of what you'd started. Off the top of my head, I can't think of a slam dunk title but this can be discussed. Most of all, thank you for offering to discuss this. Nobody wants to see you blocked. Nobody. All of us are excited that a new colleague may have joined our ranks. It's clear you spent a great deal of time getting the style of this page right, even if you did only use the mobile version. I for one applaud your energy and effort in doing the work you've done. None of that work is lost, by the way, it still resides in page history. Can you access editing tabs on your talk page, or the talk page of the page in question? Best to discuss this on talk, and then build the right solution before we post. I may be a bit busy this evening, but should have time tomorrow and next week. Again, thanks for talking about this. Nobody wishes you ill, and frankly, we're very glad you're here. We just need to stop the editwarring, even if unintentional, on the live page. BusterD (talk) 20:40, 17 April 2015 (UTC)
Welcome
