Welcome!
editHello, Anton Kole, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Here are a few links to pages you might find helpful:
- Introduction and Getting started
- Contributing to Wikipedia
- The five pillars of Wikipedia
- How to edit a page and How to develop articles
- How to create your first article
- Simplified Manual of Style
You may also want to take the Wikipedia Adventure, an interactive tour that will help you learn the basics of editing Wikipedia. You can visit The Teahouse to ask questions or seek help.
Please remember to sign your messages on talk pages by typing four tildes (~~~~); this will automatically insert your username and the date. If you need help, check out Wikipedia:Questions, ask me on my talk page, or , and a volunteer should respond shortly. Again, welcome! William M. Connolley (talk) 22:26, 17 November 2015 (UTC)
Where is the talking page for Aether(classical element), so that everyone who wants to discuss an issue can discuss it there instead of talking to many different potential people on different talk pages??Anton Kole (talk) 04:44, 18 November 2015 (UTC) Don't even know if anyone is going to see this?
Warning: 3RR
edit
You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war according to the reverts you have made on Aether (classical element). 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 that Wikipedia's policy on edit warring states:
- Edit warring is disruptive regardless of how many reverts you have made.
- 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. William M. Connolley (talk) 22:27, 17 November 2015 (UTC)

3RR: stronger warning
editYou've seen my warning, and acknowledged it. So you now know the policy: you're not allowed to revert more than 3 times within 24 hours. That's an absolute maximum, not an entitlement; see the policy. Your last 5 reverts were:
- 2015-11-18T04:14:12
- 2015-11-17T18:51:17
- 2015-11-17T08:39:10
- 2015-11-17T00:58:11
- 2015-11-17T00:51:22
The lower 4 were within 24 hours. Were you an experienced editor you'd be reported and blocked by now. Since you're new you get a bit of slack; that slack has now run out.
You should also look at WP:BRD: you've made a change, its been reverted, now you should be discussing it. The place to do this is the article talk page: Talk:Aether (classical_element) William M. Connolley (talk) 07:30, 18 November 2015 (UTC)
Removing talk page posts
editYou really need to learn to start a discussion when you get reverted. You have already been given two 3RR warnings. You must not remove the posts of others on talk pages as you did here. You must not remove your own posts after they have already been replied to as you did here. In general, it is not recommended to alter a post at all once it has been replied to, see our talk page guidelines. Here are your choices;
- Wait for the thread to be moved to an archive page. On pages that get few posts, this can take years
- Archive it yourself, although on this particular page archiving has not been set up yet so you will need to learn how to do that
- Ask WM Connelley for his permission to remove his post
- Add a new post at the end of the thread saying that you retract it
- Strike through your original comments, or those that you wish to retract
- Forget about it and put it down to a learning experience.
I would recomment the last one. SpinningSpark 06:29, 19 November 2015 (UTC)
- I still think you're best off picking the last choice. However, you have my permission to remove everything if you wish to. When you're back in the editing window, take a moment to read "By clicking the "Save page" button, you agree to the Terms of Use and you irrevocably agree to release your contribution under the CC BY-SA 3.0 License and the GFDL with the understanding that a hyperlink or URL is sufficient for CC BY-SA 3.0 attribution." Which is to say, you don't own your contributions William M. Connolley (talk) 09:09, 19 November 2015 (UTC)
