Original research

Welcome to Wikipedia. We welcome and appreciate your contributions, including your edits to Twin paradox, but we cannot accept original research. Original research also encompasses combining published sources in a way to imply something that none of them explicitly say. Please be prepared to cite a reliable source for all of your contributions. Thank you. - DVdm (talk) 21:57, 5 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Please do not add original research or novel syntheses of published material to articles as you apparently did to Twin paradox. Please cite a reliable source for all of your contributions. Thank you. - DVdm (talk) 22:47, 5 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Note regarding this section title Quotation of true text of Langevin is destroyed by fascists and called "original research": please do not resort to personal attacts here on Wikipedia—see wp:NPA. - DVdm (talk) 23:01, 5 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

March 2014

Hello, I'm DVdm. I wanted to let you know that I undid one of your recent contributions, such as the one you made with this edit to Talk:Twin paradox, because it didn’t appear constructive to me. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thanks. DVdm (talk) 18:56, 24 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Please stop using talk pages such as Twin paradox 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.

Building consensus

If another editor reverts an edit of yours, and asks you to discuss it, don't revert back, that is considered edit warring. You might want to read WP:EDITCONSENSUS, that is how the process works. If you have questions, please feel free to ask. Paradoctor (talk) 21:50, 8 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Your recent editing history at Twin paradox 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. 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. - DVdm (talk) 15:59, 9 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

You may be blocked from editing without further warning the next time you make personal attacks on other people, as you did at Talk:Twin paradox. Comment on content, not on fellow editors. - DVdm (talk) 18:08, 9 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
