Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. Regarding your edits to List of serial killers in the United States, please use the preview button before you save your edit; this helps you find any errors you have made and prevents clogging up recent changes and the page history, as well as helping prevent edit conflicts. Below the edit box is a Show preview button. Pressing this will show you what the article will look like without actually saving it.

The *Show preview* button is right next to the *Publish changes* button and below the edit summary field.

It is strongly recommended that you use this before saving. If you have any questions, contact the help desk for assistance. Thank you. Sundayclose (talk) 21:50, 25 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Hi IP, please start a discussion on the article's talk page. It is clear at least one editor disagrees with your change so the onus is on you to gain consensus. S0091 (talk) 23:33, 8 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Another editor has started a discussion on the talk page so please add your comments there rather than in the edit summary. S0091 (talk) 00:21, 9 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Your recent edits to Wayne Williams could give Wikipedia contributors the impression that you may consider legal or other "off-wiki" action against them, or against Wikipedia itself. Please note that making such threats on Wikipedia is strictly prohibited under Wikipedia's policies on legal threats and civility. Users who make such threats may be blocked. If you have a dispute with the content of any page on Wikipedia, please follow the proper channels for dispute resolution. Please be sure to comment on content, not contributors, and where possible make specific suggestions for changes supported by reliable independent sources and focusing especially on verifiable errors of fact. Thank you. Referring to edit summary: "is in fact defaming libel- an action expressly forbidden by Wikipedia. Further action of the kind is grounds for civil liability."

Your recent editing history at Wayne Williams shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war; that means that you are repeatedly changing content back to how you think it should be, when you have seen that other editors disagree. To resolve the content dispute, please do not revert or change the edits of others when you are reverted. Instead of reverting, please use the 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 the bold, revert, discuss cycle 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 you 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 do not violate the three-revert rule—should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly.

No consensus has been established on the Talk page for your edits. Since you have received multiple warnings concerning edit warring, I advise you to seek consensus for your changes before you make any further edits to the article. General Ization ^Talk 04:18, 9 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Everyone else appears to be saying it, but please, please, please, find consensus for the edit you are making. Look on the article talk page. Porterjoh (talk) 15:18, 9 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Hi again! If you believe there is libelous material in the article, I do suggest to posting your concerns at the biography for living persons noticeboard for review. S0091 (talk) 15:55, 9 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
