Your recent contributions at Mount Holyoke College appear to show that you are engaged in edit warring; that means that you are repeatedly changing content back to how you think it should be, when you have seen that other editors disagree. To resolve the content dispute, please do not revert or change the edits of others when you are reverted. Instead of reverting, please use the talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. The best practice at this stage is to discuss, not override another editor's contributions. See the bold, revert, discuss cycle. 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 you 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.

There is no edit warring here. There is a misunderstanding on the part of the other party. S/he is making a positive claim (that a school that admits students of both sexes is a womens college) without first achieving a consensus.73.114.21.69 (talk) 20:53, 18 September 2019 (UTC)


 * I'm going to give you the benefit of the doubt as a new contributor and assume you mean there is no intentional edit warring on your part. But you reverted the same basic content 4 times in less than 24 hours, which by definition is edit warring.  Please acquaint yourself with the policy at WP:EW.
