User talk:Twainmaned

Welcome!

Hello, Twainmaned, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Unfortunately, your edit to Recurrent laryngeal nerve does not conform to Wikipedia's Neutral Point of View policy (NPOV). Wikipedia articles should refer only to facts and interpretations that have been stated in print or on reputable websites or other forms of media.

There's a page about the NPOV policy that has tips on how to effectively write about disparate points of view without compromising the NPOV status of the article as a whole. If you are stuck, and looking for help, please come to the New contributors' help page, where experienced Wikipedians can answer any queries you have! Or, you can just type {{Help me}} on your user page, and someone will show up shortly to answer your questions. Here are a few other good links for newcomers:

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

Notice[edit]

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war. Users are expected to collaborate with others, to avoid editing disruptively, and to try to reach a consensus rather than repeatedly undoing other users' edits once it is known that there is a disagreement.

Please be particularly aware, Wikipedia's policy on edit warring states:

Edit warring is disruptive regardless of how many reverts you have made; that is to say, editors are not automatically "entitled" to three reverts.
Do not edit war even if you believe you are right.

If you find yourself in an editing dispute, use the article's talk page to discuss controversial changes; work towards a version that represents consensus among editors. You can post a request for help at an appropriate noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases it may be appropriate to request temporary page protection. If you engage in an edit war, you may be blocked from editing.Novangelis (talk) 19:08, 26 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Please refrain from making unconstructive edits to Wikipedia, as you did at Recurrent laryngeal nerve. Your edits appear to constitute vandalism and have been reverted or removed.

Your addition to Recurrent laryngeal nerve has been removed, as it appears to have added copyrighted material to Wikipedia without permission from the copyright holder. If you are the copyright holder, please read Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials for more information on uploading your material to Wikipedia. For legal reasons, Wikipedia cannot accept copyrighted text, or images borrowed from other websites, or printed material without a verifiable license; such additions will be deleted. You may use external websites or publications as a source of information, but not as a source of article content, such as sentences or images—you must write using your own words. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing. Novangelis (talk) 20:43, 26 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Copyright violations are not fixed by making long quotes.Novangelis (talk) 20:54, 26 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

No problem, I'll fix that ; ) --Twainmaned (talk) 20:59, 26 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Notice of Edit warring noticeboard discussion[edit]

Hello. This message is being sent to inform you that there is currently a discussion involving you at Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Edit warring regarding a possible violation of Wikipedia's policy on edit warring. Thank you.

You've been reported. Please agree to take a voluntary break from editing the Recurrent laryngeal nerve article. If not, it is likely that you will be given a lengthy block for edit warring and copyright violation. Thank you, EdJohnston (talk) 20:51, 26 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Under our copyright policies you simply aren't allowed to copy that much material into an article from a copyrighted source. Citing the source does not absolve you from the violation. If you continue to ignore this problem I suspect you may be indefinitely blocked. EdJohnston (talk) 21:03, 26 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

You have been blocked from editing for a period of 36 hours for edit warring. Once the block has expired, you are welcome to make useful contributions. If you think there are good reasons why you should be unblocked, you may appeal this block by adding below this notice the text {{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}}, but you should read the guide to appealing blocks first.

During a dispute, you should first try to discuss controversial changes and seek consensus. If that proves unsuccessful, you are encouraged to seek dispute resolution, and in some cases it may be appropriate to request page protection. De728631 (talk) 21:06, 26 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]
