Please refrain from making unconstructive edits to Wikipedia, as you did at USS Constitution. Your edits appear to be disruptive and have been or will be reverted. Please ensure you are familiar with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines, and please do not continue to make edits that appear disruptive. Continual disruptive editing may result in loss of editing privileges. Thank you. - wolf  18:29, 9 October 2018 (UTC)
 * If you are engaged in an article content dispute with another editor, please discuss the matter with the editor at their talk page, or the article's talk page, and seek consensus with them. Alternatively, you can read Wikipedia's dispute resolution page, and ask for independent help at one of the relevant notice boards.
 * If you are engaged in any other form of dispute that is not covered on the dispute resolution page, please seek assistance at Wikipedia's Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents.
 * If this is a shared IP address, and you did not make the edits, consider creating an account for yourself or logging in with an existing account so you can avoid further irrelevant notices.

Please stop your disruptive editing. If you continue to disrupt Wikipedia, as you did at USS Constitution, you may be blocked from editing. - wolf  18:44, 9 October 2018 (UTC)

I'm really sorry, I just don't believe in "feminizing" old ships! Thank you — Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.33.2.49 (talk • contribs) 14:49, 9 October 2018 (UTC)
 * Well, that is just something you are going to have to live with. But if you really feel you can't, then you can start an RfC at the guideline talk page to seek a consensus to have the guideline changed. Good luck. - wolf  19:19, 9 October 2018 (UTC)

Edit warring notice
You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war&#32; according to the reverts you have made on USS Constitution. 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.

Points to note: If you find yourself in an editing dispute, use the article's talk page to discuss controversial changes and 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.'' Note: Please see reply on Talk:USS Constitution. Thank you'' - wolf  19:14, 9 October 2018 (UTC)
 * 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 this is a shared IP address, and you did not make the edits, consider creating an account for yourself or logging in with an existing account so you can avoid further irrelevant notices.

Question
Okay, how do I work to reach a consensus with other users. I feel like I have alienated many users here, even though I have no intention of disrupting or vandalizing pages (though we cannot read each others minds and filter out intentions, right?).

I want to improve and add content to pages as much as the next user. I just wish my fellow users were friendlier about it. Although I have had some people give me friendly reminders (keyword isn't "warnings" as you can tell).

So please let me know how I can actually improve a page, and even offer to help if you can, but do not "threaten" me with being blocked or other punitive measures. Thank you! — Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.33.2.49 (talk) 13:55, 10 October 2018 (UTC)
 * Hi, I have a question for you first. You signed your talk page comment on Talk:USS Constitution as "Wiscipidier". There is an account on WP with that username. They also both seem to have Wisconsin in common. If that is your account, then I would strongly urge you to sign in and use that account only, as per WP:EWLO. I will check over there and once you have re-posted your questions from here over on that user talk page, I will respond there and try to help you out. - wolf  18:31, 10 October 2018 (UTC)

Yes, they do. Thank you for suggesting that. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Wiscipidier (talk • contribs) 23:45, 14 October 2018 (UTC)

Hello, I'm Bridget. I wanted to let you know that I reverted one of your recent contributions—specifically this edit to Will Smith–Chris Rock slapping incident—because it did not appear constructive. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. If you have any questions, you can ask for assistance at the Teahouse or the Help desk. Thanks. Bridget (talk) 00:51, 9 November 2022 (UTC)
