  You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war. Note that the three-revert rule prohibits making more than three reversions on a single page within a 24-hour period. Additionally, users who perform several reversions in content disputes may be blocked for edit warring even if they do not technically violate the three-revert rule. When in dispute with another editor you should first try to discuss controversial changes to work towards wording and content that gains a consensus among editors. Should that prove unsuccessful, you are encouraged to seek dispute resolution, and in some cases it may be appropriate to request page protection. Please stop the disruption, otherwise you may be blocked from editing. VernoWhitney (talk) 20:03, 3 June 2010 (UTC)Reply

The point is that you use the talk page, and once consensus is reached then you edit the article again. VernoWhitney (talk) 20:03, 3 June 2010 (UTC)Reply

Thank you for informing me of the three-revert rule. I am new as an editor and am still learning the protocols. I will follow the talk page procedure and further resolution if needed. Scoopczar (talk) 20:52, 3 June 2010 (UTC)Reply

@VernoWhitney - Please comment on what I wrote at Talk:The_Church_of_Jesus_Christ_of_Latter-day_Saints#.22Mormonism_and_Christianity.22_or_.22Comparisons_within_Christianity.22_heading_and_edits concerning Original Sin. The LDS view clearly stands apart from Catholic, Orthodox, and Protestant views. It does not belong in a list of shared doctrines. The LDS view of the Fall is that no sin was involved. That view is unique and bears no resemblance to any of the major streams of Christianity. Again, not saying who is right or wrong--just saying the views don't match. I would like to seek consensus to edit it out of the list or resolution if needed.

Thanks for the welcome and the reminder. I was just intending to added the unnamed brother's name, which appears earlier in the article. However, I have now added a citation. Scoopczar (talk) 15:28, 21 June 2010 (UTC)Reply

Sanctions

edit

It's mostly a notice (a reminder, of sorts) that this particular article is frequently subject to edit wars, controversial and biased edits, etc and that administrators may impose sanctions on those that don't adhere to good editing. You should be aware of 'Article-specific editing notes' and the FAQ in the talk page. You can see a list of all articles that have the sanction notice at this page. Some other specific sanctions are at WP:General sanctions. General sanctions doesn't directly relate WP:Pending changes editing policy on that article. There are many articles with protective editing policies that aren't under general sanctions.

If there's a controversial edit you'd like to make, it's best to discuss it on the talk page first. Let me know if you have any other questions. Mahanga (Talk) 03:06, 21 July 2010 (UTC)Reply
