Please refrain from making test edits in Wikipedia pages, such as those you made to Canadian Society of Safety Engineering with this edit, even if you intend to fix them later. Such edits appear to be vandalism and have been reverted. If you would like to experiment again, please use the sandbox. Thank you. Jim1138 (talk) 01:12, 28 November 2011 (UTC)

On a number of occasions you have tried to use inline external links in an article. This insn't the way Wikipedia works, so please read WP:EL. In general those inline external links should be changed to references, see WP:Referencing for beginners. - David Biddulph (talk) 04:54, 28 November 2011 (UTC)

I have moved some of the disconnected things that were presumably intended to be references, and put them with the text to which they were presumably intended to apply as references. Please take the trouble to read WP:Referencing for beginners so that you will understand how to do it correctly in future. - David Biddulph (talk) 04:40, 29 November 2011 (UTC)

Hello, I'm RedSoxFan2434. I noticed that you made a change to an article, Theresa Spence, but you didn't provide a reliable source. It's been removed for now, but if you'd like to include a citation and re-add it, please do so! If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. RedSoxFan2434 (talk) 01:42, 6 January 2013 (UTC)

Please do not add or change content, as you did to Theresa Spence, without verifying it by citing reliable sources. Please review the guidelines at Wikipedia:Citing sources and take this opportunity to add references to the article. Thank you. RedSoxFan2434 (talk) 03:24, 6 January 2013 (UTC)

Your recent editing history at Theresa Spence shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war. Being involved in an edit war can result in you 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. You need to get consensus on the talk page for this now. Dougweller (talk) 09:19, 6 January 2013 (UTC)

I do not agree with the above warning from Dougweller and believe he has made an error in issuing the warning--Syncmaster941bw (talk) 23:40, 6 January 2013 (UTC)

"It should be noted"

We try not to tell our readers that something is particularly important -- see WP:EDITORIALIZING. This is in no way a warning, this is my just telling you something you may not know. Dougweller (talk) 21:55, 6 January 2013 (UTC)

Understood--Syncmaster941bw (talk) 22:43, 6 January 2013 (UTC)

On reverting on this type of article

Hey Syncmaster. Just wanted to post some advice: on these breaking news-type articles, especially when there is a political element (and in this case, a living person involved), it is very important to engage with other editors on the talk page. Content can be reworked and agreed upon, rather than reverting back and forth. As has been mentioned, the reverting leads to blocks and other nastiness. You've done quite a bit of reverting on the Spence article in the last two days, now it's time to has things out on the talk page. Best, The Interior (Talk) 20:04, 7 January 2013 (UTC)

Interior no problem, but I think it is inconsiderate for an editor such as maunus to delete without discussing with me first--Syncmaster941bw (talk) 20:35, 7 January 2013 (UTC)

Discuss, rather than reverting

[1] Especially when you were recently warned about edit-warring. --Ronz (talk) 20:06, 7 January 2013 (UTC)

Would it not be more considerate for editors to discuss before deleting?--Syncmaster941bw (talk) 20:24, 7 January 2013 (UTC)
