Berlinski

Please use the article's talk page to discuss your proposed changes. There's a clear reason for specifying the source of the information, as you will see. Guettarda (talk) 15:33, 5 January 2010 (UTC)

Thank you for explaining your changes on the talk page, although it would be better to use this section, since it pertains to the issue of using the DI cv. However, you should be aware that normally, if your edits are reverted, you should build consensus for your changes first, before re-instating your changes. I would recommend that you read this essay for more insight into how this process should proceed. Guettarda (talk) 16:30, 5 January 2010 (UTC)

Three-revert rule

Please be aware of the three-revert rule which prohibits more than three reversions to an article in any 24-hour period. This applies to any revert. You have already reverted the Berlinski article three times today, since your first edit repeated the prior removal of information that had been done by 70.243.116.177 (talk · contribs).
