Hi. When you recently edited Oklahoma Baptist University, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page NAIA (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ* Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

OBU Page
I typed some text to replace what Marty O'Gwynn deleted last year. (He now works for Oklahoma City University, I believe.) I did my best to be objective, and I documented every claim. I do believe it is important for this information to be included, so please make any changes you think will help survive scrutiny from others who will come along to whitewash it.

Swim team and Ivan Maciunak
I reinstated the previous editor's deletion of the lengthy text about Ivan Maciunak from the main Oklahoma Baptist University page because I don't think this event, sad as it was, is something that belongs in the general historical section. Also, the tone of the text as written was somewhat inconsistent with WP:NOTMEMORIAL. Instead, I added content about the team and Maciunak to a new section about the swim team at Oklahoma Baptist Bison: the team certainly deserves mention there, given its multiple championships, and mention of Maciunak is also appropriate there.

Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. You appear to be engaged in an edit war with one or more editors according to your reverts at Oklahoma Baptist University. Although repeatedly reverting or undoing another editor's contributions may seem necessary to protect your preferred version of a page, on Wikipedia this is usually seen as obstructing the normal editing process, and often creates animosity between editors. Instead of edit warring, please discuss the situation with the editor(s) involved and try to reach a consensus on the talk page.

If editors continue to revert to their preferred version they are likely to lose editing privileges. This isn't done to punish an editor, but to prevent the disruption caused by edit warring. In particular, editors should be aware of the three-revert rule, which says that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Edit warring on Wikipedia is not acceptable in any amount, and violating the three-revert rule is very likely to lead to a loss of editing privileges. Thank you.

Your recent editing history at Oklahoma Baptist University 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.
