You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war according to the reverts you have made on Climate change in the United States. 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:

1. Edit warring is disruptive regardless of how many reverts you have made; that is to say, editors are not automatically "entitled" to three reverts.
2. 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. 70.244.32.155 (talk) 22:50, 20 April 2012 (UTC)

I am an anonymous but regular contributor to Wikipedia.

My goal is to help fight vandalism and disruptive editing. Edit warring is contrary to Wikipedia's policies. Editors who edit war will be blocked from editing. You are expected to collaborate and discuss the edits and not repeatedly revert. You are advised to discuss your proposed changes at the relevant talk page and with Arthur Rubin, the editor who disagrees with you. Note that he is apparently more of an established editor than you are, and he may know something that you do not. As the message above states, [d]o not edit war even if you believe you are right. With that being said, discussion is important, regardless of who is in reality correct.

Again, take it to the talk page, and take it to the user talk page of the editor who you are in disagreement with. Just remember, disruptive editing leads to blocks. At Wikipedia, we try to keep the encyclopedia as open as possible, however, there are some occasions where if users are disruptive, or abuse editing privileges in any way, they are blocked from editing in accordance with our policies. Thank you. 70.244.32.155 (talk) 22:59, 20 April 2012 (UTC)

Not per your history. Go away. 99.19.42.126 (talk) 23:01, 20 April 2012 (UTC)

I have a dynamic IP address, which changes regularly. I have edited Wikipedia for years, and please refrain from making personal attacks. If you continue your disruptive editing, I will have to notify the administrators. 70.244.32.155 (talk) 23:07, 20 April 2012 (UTC)

Leave my Talk page now, please. 99.19.42.126 (talk) 23:08, 20 April 2012 (UTC)

I will gladly leave your talk page, however, please realize that your actions do not conform to Wikipedia's policies. Editors who continue to engage in disruptive editing will be blocked. 70.244.32.155 (talk) 23:11, 20 April 2012 (UTC)

As an IP, I'm not sure you can reasonably request that people stay off your talk page. After all, you won't be using that IP tomorrow, and a (more) disruptive editor may use it. — Arthur Rubin (talk) 23:56, 20 April 2012 (UTC)
