No Spam
Please do not add inappropriate external links to Wikipedia, as you did to Robot-assisted surgery. Wikipedia is not a collection of links, nor should it be used for advertising or promotion. Inappropriate links include, but are not limited to, links to personal websites, links to websites with which you are affiliated (whether as a link in article text, or a citation in an article), and links that attract visitors to a website or promote a product. See the external links guideline and spam guideline for further explanations. Because Wikipedia uses the nofollow attribute value, its external links are disregarded by most search engines. If you feel the link should be added to the page, please discuss it on the associated talk page rather than re-adding it. Thank you. Jytdog (talk) 06:23, 1 February 2016 (UTC)
 * If you do not understand something, do not edit war. Open a discussion on the Talk page.  That article is subject to a ton of editing from people adding links to commercial sites to make money.  That is not what Wikipedia is for. Jytdog (talk) 06:45, 1 February 2016 (UTC)

Edit war warning
You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war&#32; according to the reverts you have made on Robot-assisted surgery. 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. Please be particularly aware that Wikipedia's policy on edit warring states: If you find yourself in an editing dispute, use the article's talk page to discuss controversial changes; 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. Jytdog (talk) 06:45, 1 February 2016 (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.
