User talk:Earthquake guy 6393

Hello
Pleases don't "correct inaccurate information". Thank you, Dawnseeker2000  20:00, 14 August 2019 (UTC)
 * Hi again. That your changes are being reverted is not an accident. We put a lot of effort into the articles to ensure that the content aligns with the sources.Please do not make any more changes to that article. Read WP:HIJACK, WP:V, and WP:OR and make certain that you understand that what you're doing is against policy (and just doesn't make sense). Thanks again, Dawnseeker2000  20:56, 14 August 2019 (UTC)


 * To add a little clarification: what Dawnseeker2000 is referring to as "against policy" is, first of all, adding contentious or dubious material without providing a reliable source for such material. Second, sliding such material in under an existing source is, in effect, to hi-jack that source to say something it does not say. That is extremely bad. In this case, even if you provide some ostensibly reliable source, the magnitude you assert is sufficiently different from what has been reported in the expert literature that we would want to discuss this on the Talk page prior to including it. But above all: don't edit-war. &diams; J. Johnson (JJ) (talk) 21:58, 14 August 2019 (UTC)

Your recent editing history at 1872 Lone Pine earthquake 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. &diams; J.
