Welcome!
Hello, 808desiree808, and welcome to Wikipedia! My name is Ian and I work with Wiki Education; I help support students who are editing as part of a class assignment.

I hope you enjoy editing here. If you haven't already done so, please check out the student training library, which introduces you to editing and Wikipedia's core principles. You may also want to check out the Teahouse, a community of Wikipedia editors dedicated to helping new users. Below are some resources to help you get started editing. If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to contact me on my talk page. Ian (Wiki Ed) (talk) 18:47, 14 September 2021 (UTC)

Your recent editing history at Ancient Hawaii shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war; 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 edit-war. See the bold, revert, discuss cycle 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 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 do not violate the three-revert rule&mdash;should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly.

 * The plot thickens. Here you removed a complaint about yourself from my talk page. This is unlikely to go on much longer. EdJohnston (talk) 03:51, 5 December 2021 (UTC)


 * What you add to Wikipedia needs to be written entirely in your own words. Copying from sources is both plagiarism and (frequently) a copyright infringement. You should also be aware that edit warring is unacceptable - it's in the training modules. Editing warring to add copyright material is especially bad.
 * I've blocked you from editing mainspace. If you want to draft your work in your sandbox, using the framework that's available on the Dashboard, you can still do so. But you won't be able to edit "live" Wikipedia articles. Ian (Wiki Ed) (talk) 04:28, 5 December 2021 (UTC)
