Hello, I'm Donner60. I noticed that you made a change to an article, India and weapons of mass destruction, but you didn't provide a source. I’ve removed it for now, but if you’d like to include a citation to a reliable source 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. Thanks. Donner60 (talk) 22:19, 18 May 2015 (UTC)

Please do not add or significantly change content without citing verifiable and reliable sources. Before making any potentially controversial edits, it is recommended that you discuss them first on the article's talk page. Please review the guidelines at Citing sources and take this opportunity to add references to the article. Donner60 (talk) 22:23, 18 May 2015 (UTC)

Hello, I'm ScrapIronIV. I noticed that you recently removed some content from Sylvan Learning without explaining why. In the future, it would be helpful to others if you described your changes to Wikipedia with an accurate edit summary. If this was a mistake, don't worry; I restored the removed content. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thanks.

Please stop your disruptive editing. If you continue to blank out or remove portions of page content, templates, or other materials from Wikipedia, as you did at Sylvan Learning, you may be blocked from editing. Thank you.  Scr ★ pIron IV 20:17, 14 July 2015 (UTC)

Your recent editing history at Sylvan Learning 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&mdash;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&mdash;even if you don't violate the three-revert rule&mdash;should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly.

 * I think you made a mistake, this is not as important as it is presented in the article. And also, i only undid twice, not three times. 65.88.88.203 (talk) 20:22, 14 July 2015 (UTC)
 * Disruptive editing, blanking sourced sections, and edit warring are important - they are violations of Wikipedia policy, and can lead to a block or ban from the site. I was warning you of the policy, and the consequences of what can happen if you cross that threshhold. Note that you do not need to violate 3RR to be engaged in an edit war.  Scr ★ pIron IV 20:27, 14 July 2015 (UTC)
 * Well, I still believe that it should be deemphasized as it does not need 20 references and a whole separate section. 65.88.88.203 (talk) 20:30, 14 July 2015 (UTC)
 * And that would be a case for editing, but not for wholesale removal of content. There is a significant difference.  You stated in one of your edits that 28 centers have closed.  Do you have a source for that figure?  Replacing one (or more) sources with another is perfectly reasonable.  Scr ★ pIron IV 20:33, 14 July 2015 (UTC)
 * I counted the number of centers listed. It adds up to at least 28, and the number of states could also be counted. The sources could be combined for this. 65.88.88.203 (talk) 20:34, 14 July 2015 (UTC)
 * Counting them ourselves would be considered original research, which is not allowed (please read the article in the link. Also, contrasting and comparing multiple reports is synthesis, which is also against policy.  What we report is what other reliable sources have already reported.  Editors do not create content; we merely distill the contents of what others have already reported. There are rules and policies here, but once you get used to them it can be an enjoyable activity.  I will post a welcome message with some useful links.  Scr ★ pIron IV 20:42, 14 July 2015 (UTC)

Reverting misleading claims
Regarding this edit that you made to the article Platform screen doors, the fact that they stop people falling onto the tracks was not the raison d'être for their introduction. If it was they would have been installed at the outdoor stations as well ( and probably every other tube line). It is not for others to reword your reverts where they are misleading (especially when you are edit warring). This is, after all, the encyclopedia that anyone can edit (including you). By reverting the material back in verbatim, the burden of proving that the claim was correct rests entirely with you.

The primary purpose of the platform doors on the Jubilee line extension was to control the flow of air throughout the stations and tunnels. A secondary feature is that they prevent people unintentionally falling onto the tracks. However, they do not prevent people from deliberately jumping in front of a train because they either go elsewhere to do it, or are perfectly able to climb over the top of the doors. – Live Rail    &lt; Talk &gt;  13:08, 10 August 2015 (UTC)

You may be blocked from editing without further warning the next time you vandalize Wikipedia by deliberately introducing incorrect information, as you did at Marco Reus. Mattythewhite (talk) 16:53, 24 February 2016 (UTC)

Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. While we appreciate that you enjoy using Wikipedia, please note that Wikipedia is an encyclopedia and not a social network. Wikipedia is not a place to socialize or write things that are not directly related to improving the encyclopedia. Off-topic material may be deleted at any time. We're sorry if this message has discouraged you from editing here, but the ultimate goal of this website is to build an encyclopedia. Thank you. Kautilya3 (talk) 01:26, 13 June 2017 (UTC)

Hello, I'm Oshwah. I noticed that you made a change to an article, Rockefeller University, but you didn't provide a source. I’ve removed it for now, but if you’d like to include a citation to a reliable source and re-add it, please do so!

Welcome to Wikipedia. Everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia. However, talk pages are meant to be a record of a discussion; deleting or editing legitimate comments, as you did at Talk:Rajatarangini, is considered bad practice, even if you meant well. Even making spelling and grammatical corrections in others' comments is generally frowned upon, as it tends to irritate the users whose comments you are correcting. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. Thank you. Kautilya3 (talk) 09:04, 25 July 2017 (UTC)

Please do not add original research or novel syntheses of published material to articles as you apparently did to History of Kashmir. Please cite a reliable source for all of your contributions. Thank you. Kautilya3 (talk) 08:36, 27 July 2017 (UTC)
