Your recent editing history shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war. Being involved in an edit war can result in your 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 don't violate the three-revert rule—should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly.

To avoid being blocked, instead of reverting please consider using the article's talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. See BRD for how this is done. You can post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection. Yobol (talk) 18:05, 4 April 2014 (UTC)

a word of advice...

Hi. I watch the Shiatsu page and notice that you have been disputing the content there. You are new here and naturally, you don't understand the rules very well, much less the spirit that informs them. For what it is worth, it is very unwise to jump straight into a heated dispute as you have, generating an extended argument with experienced editors, and getting blocked already. My advice to you is slow down, be more humble and open, and learn how we operate (and really learn! please understand the spirit as well as the substance of WP:MEDRS and WP:FRINGE and WP:NPOV), perhaps by editing articles that you are not passionate about, and then engage with the content you care about again. By being so combative before you understand the policies and guidelines, you are setting yourself up for a miserable time here, and will likely burn out and leave (and frustrate a bunch of other editors in the meantime). Also, please know that for health related content we follow Evidence-based medicine - positive evidence is needed before a health claim can be made. To the extent that people try to make positive claims that X is good to treat Y and there is no consensus in MEDRS -compliant sources, those claims are treated as WP:FRINGE. That is how Wikipedia rolls. Good luck! Jytdog (talk) 15:09, 5 April 2014 (UTC)

Thanks for the friendly advice. I believe there are some reasonable changes that can be made where all parties are satisfied.Schenks (talk) 21:31, 5 April 2014 (UTC)

Your recent edits

Hello and welcome to Wikipedia. When you add content to talk pages and Wikipedia pages that have open discussion (but never when editing articles), please be sure to sign your posts. There are two ways to do this. Either:

1. Add four tildes ( ~~~~ ) at the end of your comment; or
2. With the cursor positioned at the end of your comment, click on the signature button ( or ) located above the edit window.

This will automatically insert a signature with your username or IP address and the time you posted the comment. This information is necessary to allow other editors to easily see who wrote what and when.

Thank you. --SineBot (talk) 19:53, 5 April 2014 (UTC)
