Your recent editing history shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war; that means that you are repeatedly changing content back to how you think it should be, when you have seen that other editors disagree. 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 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; read about 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 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 do not violate the three-revert rule—should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly.

- Hello. I have contacted you on your talk page. It appears the same user has been reported to you for making multiple edits like this before. I am adding additional information and the user keeps removing it. Not only that, but this user has a history of vandalizing articles in this way. Please advise. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Steve.A.Dore.4 (talk • contribs)

Avatar317 is not a vandal and is not vandalizing that article. If you want to make changes to a Wikipedia article and someone objects, you should secure agreement on the article's associated talk page. You should not simply repeat the same edit over and over. See WP:BRD. Just discuss normally. I reverted your attempt at an RFC fot two reasons: it was malformatted, and it was premature. RFC is a process to be employed only after regular discussion reaches an impasse. - MrOllie (talk) 01:50, 18 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, it is clear there is something singular about the edits this user is making. I left the same tag on that users page, and as if by magic you left it on my page. This can easily lead one to thing that you are the other user, as well as this one. I have added a relevant talk section and have requested the article be reviewed.

Sorry, you don't get to casually accuse an editor of sockpuppetry without evidence. See WP:ASPERSIONS. If you continue, you will be blocked from editing. Floquenbeam (talk) 23:01, 19 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I don't know what you're talking about. Please advise. Steve.A.Dore.4 (talk) 05:24, 1 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, and thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. Your recent talk page comments on Talk:Gavin Newsom were not added to the bottom of the page. New discussion page messages and topics should always be added to the bottom. Your message may have been moved. In the future you can use the "New section" link in the top right. For more details see the talk page guidelines. Thank you. Grayfell (talk) 05:25, 18 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Disambiguation link notification for December 1

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited James Comer (politician), you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Republican Party. Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. (Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.)

It's OK to remove this message. Also, to stop receiving these messages, follow these opt-out instructions. Thanks, DPL bot (talk) 06:10, 1 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I've closed the thread at WT:ITN

That's just clearly the wrong place. If you must, I'd say one of the Village pumps might be more appropriate, but be aware that you're likely to get significant pushback, and I kind of doubt it will be productive. Also, more importantly, see my comment in the thread above. That kind of thing is not acceptable. Floquenbeam (talk) 23:04, 19 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Disambiguation link notification for August 1

An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Scott Baugh, you added links pointing to the disambiguation pages Orange County and Republican Party.
