  Hello, I'm DrFleischman. I wanted to let you know that I undid one or more of your recent contributions to Mary Eberstadt because they appeared to be promotional. Advertising and using Wikipedia as a "soapbox" are against Wikipedia policy and not permitted. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about Wikipedia. Thank you. --Dr. Fleischman (talk) 08:24, 24 November 2014 (UTC)Reply

  Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. You appear to be engaged in an edit war with one or more editors according to your reverts at Mary Eberstadt. Although repeatedly reverting or undoing another editor's contributions may seem necessary to protect your preferred version of a page, on Wikipedia this is usually seen as obstructing the normal editing process, and often creates animosity between editors. Instead of edit warring, please discuss the situation with the editor(s) involved and try to reach a consensus on the talk page.

If editors continue to revert to their preferred version they are likely to be blocked from editing. This isn't done to punish an editor, but to prevent the disruption caused by edit warring. In particular, editors should be aware of the three-revert rule, which says that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. While edit warring on Wikipedia is not acceptable in any amount, breaking the three-revert rule is very likely to lead to a block. Thank you. --Dr. Fleischman (talk) 17:38, 30 January 2015 (UTC)Reply

Upon further review, perhaps this wasn't edit warring, I'm not sure. My apologies for jumping the gun. --Dr. Fleischman (talk) 18:01, 30 January 2015 (UTC)Reply

  Thank you for your contributions. Please mark your edits, such as your recent edits to Mary Eberstadt, as "minor" only if they are minor edits. In accordance with Help:Minor edit, a minor edit is one that the editor believes requires no review and could never be the subject of a dispute. Minor edits consist of things such as typographical corrections, formatting changes or rearrangement of text without modification of content. Additionally, the reversion of clear-cut vandalism and test edits may be labeled "minor". Thank you. --Dr. Fleischman (talk) 17:38, 30 January 2015 (UTC)Reply
