Hello, I'm Jackmcbarn. I noticed that you made a change to an article, Alhazen, but you didn't provide a reliable source. It's been removed and archived in the page history for now, but if you'd like to include a citation and re-add it, please do so! If you need guidance on referencing, please see the referencing for beginners tutorial, or if you think I made a mistake, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you.

Edit warring at Scientific method
Your recent editing history at Scientific method shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war. Being involved in an edit war can result in your 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.

To avoid being blocked, instead of reverting please consider using the article's talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. See BRD 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.

Stop edit warring. You must follow BRD. Don't edit that UNTIL you have a consensus. You're just going to get blocked and then your attempt will have been in vain, that content brought into disrepute, and your reputation here will be damaged. -- Brangifer (talk) 15:33, 29 September 2014 (UTC)


 * It's very important that you keep in mind the difference between being right about the content and how you do things. In this situation, being right about the content means absolutely nothing. You will still get blocked, and that block will forever be on your record here. It will always count against you. -- Brangifer (talk) 15:36, 29 September 2014 (UTC)
