[edit]

Hello, Rwilbs, and welcome to Wikipedia. We appreciate encyclopedic contributions, but some of your recent contributions, such as your edit to the page Peter Schiff , have removed content without an explanation. If you'd like to experiment with the wiki's syntax, please do so in the sandbox rather than in articles.

If you still have questions, there is a new contributors' help page, or you can place {{helpme}} on your talk page along with a question and someone will be along to answer it shortly. You may also find the following pages useful for a general introduction to Wikipedia:

I hope you enjoy editing Wikipedia! Please sign your name on talk pages using four tildes (~~~~); this will automatically produce your name and the date.

Information icon Hello, I'm C.Fred. I noticed that you recently removed some content from Peter Schiff without explaining why. In the future, it would be helpful to others if you described your changes to Wikipedia with an accurate edit summary. If this was a mistake, don't worry; I restored the removed content. If you would like to experiment, 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. —C.Fred (talk) 02:05, 2 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Please be aware that Wikipedia generally works on a consensus model of editing. Multiple editors have reverted your edits now and you continue to make them. Please start a discussion on the article talk page about your edits and allow a consensus to develop before making them again. Wikipedia has a rule called WP:3RR that basically if you revert (in part or completely) more than 3 times in a 24 hour period, you can end up blocked from editing temporarily. Your first change wouldn't be a revert, but each time you kept making the change again would be. That's called edit-warring and is frowned upon. Please read the WP:BRD article for how editing ideally would go. You've boldly made a change but it's been reverted. You need to use the article talk page now to discuss the changes. Edit summaries don't cut it. Ravensfire (talk) 02:25, 2 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Information icon Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. You appear to be engaged in an edit war with one or more editors according to your reverts at Peter Schiff. Although repeatedly reverting or undoing another editor's contributions may seem necessary to protect your preferred version of a page, on Wikipedia this is usually seen as obstructing the normal editing process, and often creates animosity between editors. Instead of edit warring, 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 editing privileges. 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 lead to a loss of editing privileges. Thank you.
