3RR warning

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war according to the reverts you have made on Darrell K Royal-Texas Memorial Stadium‎. Note that the three-revert rule prohibits making more than three reversions on a single page within a 24 hour period. Additionally, users who perform several reversions in content disputes may be blocked for edit warring even if they do not technically violate the three-revert rule. When in dispute with another editor you should first try to discuss controversial changes to work towards wording and content that gains a consensus among editors. Should that prove unsuccessful, you are encouraged to seek dispute resolution, and in some cases it may be appropriate to request page protection. Please stop the disruption, otherwise you may be blocked from editing. Ruhrfisch _><>°^° 01:19, 27 October 2009 (UTC)

Apology

Well, I definitely want to apologize for coming across that way because it certainly wasn't my intention; I only want to help make any article I edit better, which is why I put so many links to Wikipedia policies so it didn't seem like I was just coming in here and exerting purely my own opinion (that I had specific reasons based on policy). I also want everyone to become familiar with the policies so they don't make the same mistakes I did when I first started as I had a ton of work reverted mostly because I was just too ignorant of what should and shouldn't be included and how. So I guess here I was trying to get you to read the links so you could make the changes yourself after I initially reverted them because I don't like edit wars either. I think in this case the thought didn't occur to me to use the "See also" section until I saw that you basically wanted a link to that specific NCAA list in the article, so I'm glad we were able to communicate and solve the problem!! Up until that point I couldn't see a compromise that would work. Forgive me, but I've had so many negative experiences with new or anonymous editors who simply refuse to follow any policies or guidelines or even discuss problems, I think I may be a little cold to coming up with compromises since too many times they haven't worked. Oh well...I try my best to be thorough, detailed, and rational in my explanations, but I am hardly perfect and am still learning. Thanks for putting up with me.
