Hi, I was the one wanting to take off the Skip Bayless section about personal fitness. I don't see why it's so important that it needs an entire section, it can be mentioned that he is a fitness enthusiast, but it's just not that important, anyways, I won't delete or change it unless I see other people feel the same way, considering Skip Bayless doesn't have the most discussed wikipedia page, that probably won't happen.

Help me!

Why am I not receiving email notifications on edits made to an entry on which I have checked the box, Watch this page?

Please help me with...

"Watch this page" adds the page to your watchlist on Wikipedia. You won't get emails about changes to pages on your watchlist (some of us have thousands of pages on there, and would received many thousands of emails every day if this were the case) but you can view changes that have been made using the Watchlist link in the top right of your screen.

Help me!

Why do I receive some email notifications regarding changes on pages on my Watch list and not on other changes?

Please help me with...

You can set your email preferences at Special:Preferences. Unfortunately I can't see yours so I don't know how you have them set up, but if you look through the settings there you should be able to see what circumstances on Wikipedia will result in an email.

Notice of edit warring policy

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war according to the reverts you have made on Skip Bayless. Users are expected to collaborate with others, to avoid editing disruptively, and to try to reach a consensus rather than repeatedly undoing other users' edits once it is known that there is a disagreement.

Please be particularly aware that Wikipedia's policy on edit warring states:

  1. Edit warring is disruptive regardless of how many reverts you have made.
  2. 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 engage in an edit war, you may be blocked from editing. -- Diannaa (talk) 19:06, 2 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
