Edit-warring
edit You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war according to the reverts you have made on American College of Pediatricians. Users are expected to collaborate with others and avoid editing disruptively.
In particular, the three-revert rule states that:
- Making more than three reversions on a single page within a 24-hour period is almost always grounds for an immediate block.
- 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 continue to edit war, you may be blocked from editing without further notice. MastCell Talk 19:04, 2 August 2011 (UTC)
Hello
editHi Sallysue1159,
There's a discussion going on at the "talk" page of the ACP article. If you get this message, I'm sure it would be helpful to hear your views on what we should say in the article. It's often a little easier to just talk about it, rather than to leave WP:Edit summaries that aren't always read or understood. WP:TALK pages are pretty easy to use: just click the "edit" button and add your thoughts, and then WP:SIGN it by typing ~~~~ (four tildes, which the Mediawiki software will automagically replace with your username and the exact date of your comment).

Sixty members
editYou don't seem to have joined the talk page discussion, but let me provide you with a direct quotation from the second source at the end of that sentence. You'll find that it is on page 15 (using the original document's numbering; that's page 24 in the pdf), at the start of the long footnote.
"A group of approximately 60 of AAP’s more than 60,000 members opposed AAP’s adoption ofthis policy and in dissent, formed the “American College of Pediatricians” (“ACP“) in 2002."
So it looks to me like it really does support a claim that there were about sixty members. If you read that and somehow conclude that it says some other number of members, then perhaps you will explain your interpretation by clicking here and joining the discussion.
Oh, and if you happen to have any connection at all to the group, then please suggest to someone responsible that they get this off their website. I doubt that they mean to display that to the world. WhatamIdoing (talk) 16:06, 4 August 2011 (UTC)

editWould you mind discussing the output of this article in the talk page rather than blanking content and pointing it to an external reference? Thank you! Mediavalia talk 16:12, 19 December 2014 (UTC)
