Hi mate, as you start getting used to things, try the Show preview button. It allows you to see what you're editing/adding before you add it. Helps to prevent accidental deletions like this. Cheers, St★lwart¹¹¹ 12:55, 20 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks! Does the preview page notify you in some way if somebody else already edited the page before you? 09I500 (talk) 13:09, 20 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, and thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. I noticed that you recently added commentary to an article, Frankfurt School. While Wikipedia welcomes editors' opinions on an article and how it could be changed, these comments are more appropriate for the article's accompanying talk page. If you post your comments there, other editors working on the same article will notice and respond to them, and your comments will not disrupt the flow of the article. However, keep in mind that even on the talk page of an article, you should limit your discussion to improving the article. Article talk pages are not the place to discuss opinions of the subject of articles, nor are such pages a forum. If you see a problem with an article, try to resolve it on the Talk page before putting templates in the article. Dave Dial (talk) 16:04, 13 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for the explanation. But I rather feel that the other editor is disrupting The Devil's Advocate. He should put his dispute on the talk page before starting an edit war. He also removed my templates twice even though they say you can't remove them until the dispute is resolved. I don't like that disruptive editing so I am reverting it per WP:REVERT Really the subsection is a POV mess. :(

Your recent editing history at Frankfurt School shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war. To resolve the content dispute, please do not revert or change the edits of others when you get reverted. Instead of reverting, please use the article's 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. See BRD for 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 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.
You have surpassed 3RR. Any further reverts, whether outside the 24 hours, without Talk page discussion will be reported. Dave Dial (talk) 01:05, 14 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

You got it totally wrong, THEY are reverting my template. They are not allowed to remove the template without solving the dispute. It clearly says "don't remove it until the dispute is solved". There is plenty of talk on the talk page. Just because I didn't put any talk on the talk page doesn't mean I can't help other editors involved in a dispute. The subsection is a POV mess. Calling it a conspiracy theory is WP:UNDUE. The only source provided claiming it is a conspiracy is a weblog from a psychologist. 09I500 (talk) 10:15, 14 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Please read this notification carefully:
A community discussion has authorised the use of general sanctions for pages related to the Gamergate controversy.
The details of these sanctions are described here.

General sanctions is a system of conduct regulation designed to minimise disruption in controversial topic areas. This means uninvolved administrators can impose sanctions for edits relating to these topics that do not adhere to the purpose of Wikipedia, our standards of behaviour, or relevant policies. Administrators may impose sanctions such as editing restrictions, bans, or blocks. An editor can only be sanctioned after he or she has been made aware that general sanctions are in effect. This notification is meant to inform you that sanctions are authorised in these topic areas, which you have been editing. It is only effective if it is logged here. Before continuing to edit pages in these topic areas, please familiarise yourself with the general sanctions system. Don't hesitate to contact me or another editor if you have any questions.

This message is informational only and does not imply misconduct regarding your contributions to date.
