Hello, I'm Jim1138. I noticed that you recently removed some content from British Isles with this edit, without 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. Thanks. Jim1138 (talk) 04:37, 22 January 2016 (UTC)

Please do not remove content or templates from pages on Wikipedia, as you did to British Isles, without giving a valid reason for the removal in the edit summary. Your content removal does not appear constructive and has been reverted. Please make use of the sandbox if you'd like to experiment with test edits. ''In the most widespread definition, Ireland is part of the British Isles. If there is a controversy about its inclusion, it may be appropriate to add information about this later in the article. However, it should not be deleted from the article—especially when deletion distorts the common definition.'' —C.Fred (talk) 04:38, 22 January 2016 (UTC)

Your recent editing history at British Isles 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 article's 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.

British Isles
It's a geographic term, not a political one. You might find Terminology of the British Isles to be useful. "British Isles" makes no claim about the UK, Great Britain, who or what the Queen is monarch of, etc. Antandrus (talk) 05:47, 22 January 2016 (UTC)
