  Hello, I'm IronGargoyle. I noticed that in this edit to Alien: Covenant, you removed content without adequately 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. IronGargoyle (talk) 20:20, 9 May 2017 (UTC)Reply

  Please do not delete or flag potential "spoilers" in Wikipedia articles, as you did in the article Alien: Covenant. It is generally expected that the subjects of Wikipedia articles will be covered in detail, and giving a section a title such as "Plot" or "Ending" is considered sufficient warning to the reader that the text will contain revelations about the narrative. Deleting such information makes the article less useful for a reader who is specifically trying to find out more about the subject. For more information, see Wikipedia's guidelines on spoilers. Thank you. —C.Fred (talk) 20:23, 9 May 2017 (UTC)Reply

Every film article I've seen has refrained from releasing any sort of plot details until a worldwide release, or a US release at the very least. I do not see why Alien: Covenant has to be different. Renamerguy (talk) 20:27, 9 May 2017 (UTC)Reply
There are two issues at play. One is spoilers. Wikipedia policy is that articles may contain spoilers: we don't censor, filter, conceal, roll up, delete, or otherwise hide spoilers, regardless of when the film is released. The second is verifiability. If a plot summary is to be included, we need to be able to verify the content. If a movie has been released, it is possible (not always free, but possible) to watch the film and get the summary that way. If a movie is not released, then the source for the plot must be a published, reliable one. If the Guardian has done a review, that hurdle is cleared. That's probably why you don't see plot summaries on unreleased movies: there isn't a reliable source to verify the plot against. —C.Fred (talk) 20:29, 9 May 2017 (UTC)Reply

  Please do not remove content or templates from pages on Wikipedia, as you did with this edit to Broken Arrow killings, without giving a valid reason for the removal in the edit summary. Your content removal does not appear constructive and has been reverted. Please make use of the sandbox if you'd like to experiment with test edits. Thank you.

Edit warring notice

edit
 

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war according to the reverts you have made on Broken Arrow killings. 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 that Wikipedia's policy on edit warring states:

  1. Edit warring is disruptive regardless of how many reverts you have made.
  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. Jim1138 (talk) 04:28, 13 May 2017 (UTC)Reply
