Welcome to Wikipedia! 

Hello, Welcome to Wikipedia and thank you for your contributions! I'm Walter Görlitz, one of the other editors here, and I hope you decide to stay and help contribute to this amazing repository of knowledge. Although you're free to perform most tasks on Wikipedia without registering, it's highly recommended you create an account as there are many added benefits. It's private and secure and it's also free, simple, and quick to do. Alternatively, leave me a message at my talk page or type  here on your talk page, and someone will try to help. Remember to always sign your posts on talk pages. You can do this either by clicking on the button on the edit toolbar or by typing four tildes   at the end of your post. This will automatically insert your IP address linked to your contributions page (however, if you create an account, your IP address will be hidden and you will be able to build a custom signature that can link to your own user page), a link to this (this IP's talk) page, and a timestamp. The best way to learn about something is to experience it. Explore, learn, contribute, and don't forget to have some fun! To get some practice editing you can use a sandbox. If you register an account, you can create your own private sandbox for use any time. Perfect for working on bigger projects. Then for easy access in the future, you could put a link to it on your user page.

Hello. This is a message to let you know that one or more of your recent contributions, such as the edit you made to Zoom Video Communications, did not appear constructive and has been reverted. Please take some time to familiarise yourself with our policies and guidelines. You can find information about these at our welcome page which also provides further information about contributing constructively to this encyclopedia. If you only meant to make test edits, please use the sandbox for that. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you may leave a message on my talk page. ''There is no need to mention the fact that Zoom is not open source, especially since your insertion makes an un-sourced assumption that this fact is a security issue. '' Zim Zala Bim  talk 21:43, 25 March 2020 (UTC)

Hello and thank you for your comment above. I can include a reference about the security of open source software compared to proprietary software. There is plenty of documentation on this. See for instance the Security section on the Wikipedia page "Comparison_of_open-source_and_closed-source_software".

This is your only warning; if you vandalize Wikipedia again, as you did at Zoom Video Communications, you may be blocked from editing without further notice. ''Stop reverting and discuss on the talk page if you like. '' Zim Zala Bim  talk 21:44, 25 March 2020 (UTC)

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war&#32; according to the reverts you have made on Zoom Video Communications; that means that you are repeatedly changing content back to how you think it should be, when you have seen that other editors disagree. 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. Zim Zala Bim  talk 21:57, 25 March 2020 (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.
