June 2016[edit]

Please do not remove content or templates from pages on Wikipedia, as you did to University Bible Fellowship, without giving a valid reason for the removal in the edit summary. Your content removal does not appear constructive and has been reverted. If you only meant to make a test edit, please use the sandbox for that. Thank you. —C.Fred (talk) 03:35, 8 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Your recent editing history at University Bible Fellowship 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 are 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.

University Bible Fellowship[edit]

Greg, you have been editing the University Bible Fellowship article, removing material that is supported by valid citations, based on your feeling that the article is biased and that the claims are "mostly far-fetched". I'm glad you have a good opinion of this organization, but Wikipedia relies on published material, not just the good opinions of its readers. If you feel the article is biased, I invite you to discuss the matter at Talk:University Bible Fellowship rather than continuing to make changes that have been reverted. Wikipedia has a usage model called Bold, Revert, Discuss. You boldly changed the article (good for you!), but your change was reverted, so you now need to discuss the matter so that consensus can be reached. Wikipedia also has a rule called the three revert rule meaning that you cannot revert someone else's edit, or restore your own reverted edit, more than three times in a given day, or you will be considered to be edit warring, which can get you blocked. Why not take the proper path, and discuss your concerns at the article's talk page? WikiDan61^ChatMe!_ReadMe!! 12:49, 8 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]
