Thank you
Hi Enemyofjokes, and thank you for your contributions! I noticed your article National Front for the Family and I think it’s a good candidate for Did You Know. DYK is the easiest and funnest way to get your creation on to the Main Page and in front of the eyeballs of 17 million people. Learn all about it here "DYK for Newbies." I'd like to take this opportunity to invite you to join other people who enjoy editing conservatism-related articles at WikiProject Conservatism! A friendly and fun place where you can can meet new colleagues and get answers to burning questions. I hope to see you there! – Lionel(talk) 00:02, 29 May 2018 (UTC)

August 2018
Hello, I'm Abelmoschus Esculentus. I noticed that in this edit to John H. Cox, you removed content without adequately explaining why. In the future, it would be helpful to others if you described your changes to Wikipedia with an edit summary. If this was a mistake, don't worry, the removed content has been restored. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. ~ Abelmoschus Esculentus  (talk to me) 03:41, 16 August 2018 (UTC)

Removing well sourced content, to promote something
Hello, I'm Jytdog. I wanted to let you know that one or more of your recent contributions to Himalayan salt have been undone because they appeared to be promotional. Advertising and using Wikipedia as a "soapbox" are against Wikipedia policy and not permitted; Wikipedia articles should be written objectively, using independent sources, and from a neutral perspective. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about Wikipedia. Thank you. Jytdog (talk) 18:13, 4 October 2018 (UTC)

Edit war warning
Your recent editing history at Himalayan salt shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war. 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 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.

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.

 * I'm not getting paid to promote Himalayan salt. Are you getting to promote whatever you're editing? My first edit removed a source to a webpage that linked to Snopes. That same article by Snopeswas already cited by the wikipedia article, so I figured it was superfluous. "Himalayan salt lamps are marketed as 'natural ionizers' with their makers claiming that by emitting negatively charged ions, they have health benefits such as reduced anxiety, improved sleep, increased energy, etc. But, it's a light bulb in a block of rock salt. Nothing is emitted. For a full scientific explanation behind the ridiculousness in the "science" behind Himalayan salt lamps, read here." My third edit was to align the sentence with the sources. "Numerous health claims have been made concerning himalayan salt, but there is no scientific evidence that it is healthier than common table salt; such claims are considered pseudoscience." Yet the Snopes article, and the American Council on Science and Health article are both focused on salt lamps, which aren't meant to be eaten (as far as I know) like table salt.Enemyofjokes (talk) 18:23, 4 October 2018 (UTC)
 * I didn't say anything about you being paid to promote himalayan salt. People remove negative content for all kinds of reasons; the effect is promotion.
 * I am not sure you are aware that the part of the article above the table of contents (what we call the "lead") summarizes the part below the table of contents (the body). This is described in WP:LEAD.  In a short article like this one, the result will be a feeling of repetition. Because of that, I often remove sections from a short page like this so that there is no lead, but there are some people who (for some reason) feel that sections are very important and restore them....
 * The use of himalayan salt as seasoning is discussed in the body of the article. Jytdog (talk) 18:33, 4 October 2018 (UTC)


 * But this is not the place to discuss content. The purpose of the notice above, is to let you know that the correct thing to do if you make a change and it is reverted, is to open a discussion with the other person on the article talk page, and work it out. Please do that in the future. Thanks. Jytdog (talk) 18:34, 4 October 2018 (UTC)


 * Do you want to take this to the Wikipedia article's talk page? You are one of the two who reverted my edits, so you must care. The article's body doesn't just discuss Himalayan salt as seasoning. It also discusses Himalayan salt lamps. My edit, which you removed, was to make the sentence in the lead more accurate taking this into account.Enemyofjokes (talk) 18:50, 4 October 2018 (UTC)
 * If there is anything about your initial edits that you still want to address, you can open a discussion at the talk page. Jytdog (talk) 22:10, 4 October 2018 (UTC)
