  Hello, I'm Faizan. I noticed that you recently removed some content from Racial segregation in the United States with this edit without explaining why. In the future, it would be helpful to others if you described your changes to Wikipedia with an edit summary. If this was a mistake, don't worry, the removed content has been restored. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thanks, Faizan 16:02, 4 June 2013 (UTC)Reply

  Please refrain from making unconstructive edits to Wikipedia, as you did at Racial segregation in the United States with this edit. Your edits appear to constitute vandalism and have been reverted or removed. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. Thank you. Amaury (talk) 16:09, 4 June 2013 (UTC)Reply

  Please stop your disruptive editing. If you continue to blank out or remove portions of page content, templates, or other materials from Wikipedia, as you did at Racial segregation in the United States, you may be blocked from editing. Thank you. — alf laylah wa laylah (talk) 16:27, 4 June 2013 (UTC)Reply

Racial segregation in the United States

edit

Please talk about it on the talk page and read WP:BRD and WP:3RR before you keep reverting.— alf laylah wa laylah (talk) 16:28, 4 June 2013 (UTC)Reply

 

Your recent editing history at Racial segregation in the United States shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war. Being involved in an edit war can result in you 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.

To avoid being blocked, instead of reverting please consider using the article's talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. See BRD for how this is done. You can post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection. Dawn Bard (talk) 16:36, 4 June 2013 (UTC)Reply

Hey, Dawn Bard, he did break 3RR, but he's talking to at least two editors on their talk pages (instead of the article talk pages). It's possible that maybe he'll slow down and talk about it on the article talk page. ErikTylersYo, please, *please* take everyone's advice and discuss it on the article talk page before making that change again.— alf laylah wa laylah (talk) 16:38, 4 June 2013 (UTC)Reply
Okay, gotcha, alf laylah wa laylah. Thanks! I won't bring this to the 3RR noticeboard. Cheers, Dawn Bard (talk) 16:41, 4 June 2013 (UTC)Reply
He recently made a comment regarding this in the wrong place. I've moved it to the article's talk page. - Amaury (talk) 16:50, 4 June 2013 (UTC)Reply

Edit summaries

edit

Please use them. It may be totally obvious to you why you're making an edit but it's not always so obvious to other people. Try reading WP:BRD; the idea is that you make any edit you want, explain why a little in the edit summary, and then take it to the talk page for discussion if anyone disagrees. In this case I'm worried that you're removing a sentence that was cited to a source without an explanation. It's not bad, it's just better to explain your edits.— alf laylah wa laylah (talk) 20:32, 5 June 2013 (UTC)Reply
