Hello, I'm Njd-de. I noticed that you added or changed content in an article, Gratuity, but you didn't provide a reliable source. It's been removed and archived in the page history for now, but if you'd like to include a citation and re-add it, please do so. You can have a look at the tutorial on citing sources. If you think I made a mistake, you can leave me a message on my talk page. NJD-DE (talk) 22:36, 7 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Winchester Butterbean! I noticed that you recently marked an edit as minor at Waiting staff ‎ that may not have been. "Minor edit" has a very specific definition on Wikipedia – it refers only to superficial edits that could never be the subject of a dispute, such as typo corrections or reverting obvious vandalism. Any edit that changes the meaning of an article is not a minor edit, even if it only concerns a single word. Please see Help:Minor edit for more information. Please stop doing this. Your edits are certainly not minor. Meters (talk) 02:31, 3 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Please do not add or change content, as you did at Waiting staff, without citing a reliable source. Please review the guidelines at Wikipedia:Citing sources and take this opportunity to add references to the article. Your source does not support your claim that upselling is a duty of all servers. Per WP:BRD either discuss this on the article's talk page or leave it alone. Meters (talk) 02:58, 3 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Please stop your disruptive editing. If you continue to add unsourced or poorly sourced content, as you did at Waiting staff, you may be blocked from editing. Meters (talk) 03:03, 3 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. You appear to be repeatedly reverting or undoing other editors' contributions at Waiting staff. Although this may seem necessary to protect your preferred version of a page, on Wikipedia this is known as "edit warring" and is usually seen as obstructing the normal editing process, as it often creates animosity between editors. Instead of reverting, please discuss the situation with the editor(s) involved and try to reach a consensus on the talk page.

If editors continue to revert to their preferred version they are likely to lose their editing privileges on that page. This isn't done to punish an editor, but to prevent the disruption caused by edit warring. In particular, editors should be aware of the three-revert rule, which says that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Edit warring on Wikipedia is not acceptable in any amount, and violating the three-revert rule is very likely to result in loss of your editing privileges. Thank you. Meters (talk) 03:04, 3 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I believe that I used an acceptable source with https://smallbusiness.chron.com/upselling-techniques-restaurants-20154.html

Please explain why this is not acceptable? And I did correct it to observe tha page Winchester Butterbean (talk) 03:05, 3 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

The source does not support your claim that this a duty of servers. It mentions it as technique that is sometimes used to increase profits. That's not the same thing. I have challenged the inclusion of the material. It is up to you to discuss this material on the article's talk page and attempt to get consensus to include it. Meters (talk) 03:07, 3 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Ok well I believe that this edit is correct and I have a reliable source so I will wait more than 24 hours to correct the “error” I just want to know if this is the only reason why my phone dot was reverted. Please excuse my ignorance of this 3 revert rule—I thought it was simply a computer error. If my edit has some other reason why it would not be accepted since I have a reliable source please expound Winchester Butterbean (talk) 03:10, 3 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Polishing is a technique that is sometimes used by servers to clean silver wear; upselling is a technique sometimes used by waitstaff to sell food. Both are sometimes duties required by an owner Winchester Butterbean (talk) 03:15, 3 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

For the third time, discuss the material on the article's talk page. Your statement that you "will wait more than 24 hours to correct the 'error'" is a clear statement of intention to continue an edit war. If you just wait 24 hours and restore this contested edit again you will likely be blocked for edit warring. This is contested content and it must be discussed on the article's talk page. It is not enough that you think is fine. We edit by by consensus. If other editors agree that the source is sufficient and that the material is acceptable then it can go in.

You are a WP:SPA on the topic of restaurant servers/tipping. Is there some WP:COI? Meters (talk) 03:20, 3 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

So where is the link to the article’s talk page. Sales is in fact a duty of the job. Winchester Butterbean (talk) 03:23, 3 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I am not trying to edit war-I’m trying to understand the system. I want to know where the link is to discuss this??????? Winchester Butterbean (talk) 03:24, 3 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I’m looking for the link for the editors talk page and I am learning the editing system plain and simple Winchester Butterbean (talk) 03:26, 3 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Please advise as to the (the article's talk page) is this it? Winchester Butterbean (talk) 03:30, 3 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

The talk page is at Talk:Waiting staff. I suggest that you read the links on your page. That's why we leave them. You were pointed to the links on referencing content after you first edits, for example. And you clearly did not read WP:BRD or WP:EW when I left them either. Meters (talk) 03:32, 3 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

WP:BRD or WP:EW Is not as clear as Talk: waiting staff—sorry you did not understand that I am trying to understand Winchester Butterbean (talk) 03:34, 3 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Meters? Did you read the consensus talk page for wait staff? Do I have enough sources “evidence”to support the addition of “upsell” to the waitstaff article?it is a duty or waitstaff Winchester Butterbean (talk) 19:09, 12 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
