User talk:Detailed Edit

March 2020
Welcome to Wikipedia. We appreciate your contributions, but in one of your recent edits to Mercury poisoning, it appears that you have added original research, which is against Wikipedia's policies. Original research refers to material—such as facts, allegations, ideas, and personal experiences—for which no reliable, published sources exist; it also encompasses combining published sources in a way to imply something that none of them explicitly say. Please be prepared to cite a reliable source for all of your contributions. You can have a look at the tutorial on citing sources. Thank you. dibbydib Ping me! 💬/✏ 23:17, 17 March 2020 (UTC)
 * I did not add that source. I included previously-omitted details from the source. Detailed Edit (talk) 23:35, 17 March 2020 (UTC)
 * Nor did I publish the source. It is not my original research. Detailed Edit (talk) 23:36, 17 March 2020 (UTC)
 * Please stop edit-warring. For now, the content should not be included because multiple editors dispute it on multiple policy and guideline grounds. Now it's time for you to stop simply banging your head against this wall—it won't succeed (as you have seen, and it's also strictly against wikipedia policy itself)—and have a discussion on the article's talkpage.

 * I've started a discussion on the talk page. The version which contains the most information should stand until a better alternative can be agreed upon. Detailed Edit (talk) 00:36, 18 March 2020 (UTC)

Your recent editing history 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 don't violate the three-revert rule&mdash;should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly.

 * "Undoing another editor's work—whether in whole or in part, whether involving the same or different material each time—counts as a revert." That's you, not me. You are reverting my work, not me yours. Detailed Edit (talk) 01:08, 18 March 2020 (UTC)

Edit warring
You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war&#32; according to the reverts you have made on Mercury poisoning; 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.  Velella  Velella Talk 01:15, 18 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.
