Happy editing! ~ ToBeFree (talk) 21:26, 8 August 2022 (UTC)

August 2022
Hello, I'm ToBeFree. I noticed that you made a comment on the page Talk:Environmental impact of the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine, and I wanted to thank you for starting a discussion there, but your last sentence there is unnecessarily uncivil. Wikipedia is built on collaboration, so it's one of our core principles to interact with one another in a polite and respectful manner. Best regards, ~ ToBeFree (talk) 21:26, 8 August 2022 (UTC)

Avoiding an edit war
The following advice has been taken from uw-ewsoft. You have already correctly started a talk page discussion; this message is only meant to make sure that you are aware about the edit warring policy. Edit warring is disruptive and can lead to being blocked from editing even if you are (or strongly believe to be) right about the content. ~ ToBeFree (talk) 21:31, 8 August 2022 (UTC)

I noticed that you have reverted to restore your preferred version of an article several times. The impulse to undo an edit you disagree with is understandable, but I wanted to make sure you're aware that the edit warring policy disallows repeated reversions even if they are justifiable.

All editors are expected to discuss content disputes on article talk pages to try to reach consensus. If you are unable to agree, please use one of the dispute resolution options to seek input from others. Using this approach instead of reverting can help you avoid getting drawn into an edit war. Thank you.

 You have been blocked from editing for a period of 24 hours for edit warring and violating the three-revert rule. Once the block has expired, you are welcome to make useful contributions. During a dispute, you should first try to discuss controversial changes and seek consensus. If that proves unsuccessful, you are encouraged to seek dispute resolution, and in some cases it may be appropriate to request page protection. If you think there are good reasons for being unblocked, please read the guide to appealing blocks, then add the following text below the block notice on your talk page:.
