Hello, Kirstin.lopez, and welcome to Wikipedia! My name is Adam and I work with the Wiki Education Foundation; I help support students who are editing as part of a class assignment.

I hope you enjoy editing here. If you haven't already done so, please check out the student training library, which introduces you to editing and Wikipedia's core principles. You may also want to check out the Teahouse, a community of Wikipedia editors dedicated to helping new users. Below are some resources to help you get started editing.

  • You can find answers to many student questions on our Q&A site, ask.wikiedu.org

If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to contact me on my talk page. Adam (Wiki Ed) (talk) 22:40, 22 September 2016 (UTC)Reply

Your recent editing history at Women in music shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war. To resolve the content dispute, please do not revert or change the edits of others when you are reverted. Instead of reverting, please use the article's talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. The best practice at this stage is to discuss, not edit-war. See BRD for how this is done. If discussions reach an impasse, you can then post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection.

Being involved in an edit war can result in your 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.
It is clear that you and Weeziefhorn23 (talk · contribs) are classmates and are collaborating in an edit war, acting as one and your reverts are considered as being made by the same user. Toddst1 (talk) 21:08, 6 October 2016 (UTC)Reply

  Please do not add or change content, as you did at Ray Rice, without citing a reliable source. Please review the guidelines at Wikipedia:Citing sources and take this opportunity to add references to the article. Thank you. Toddst1 (talk) 21:15, 6 October 2016 (UTC)Reply

  • Just to explain - Wikipedia's job is to document facts, such as that people in an important cultural sector have publicly expressed sexist opinions. The fact that Wikipedia quotes sexist (or racist or homophobic or evil) people certainly does not mean that we are endorsing such disgusting views, rather that it is believed that they need to be documented.
