Howdy. You're off to a bad start, by reverting multiple editors on a single article. GoodDay (talk) 15:18, 7 February 2018 (UTC)

February 2018
Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. You appear to be repeatedly reverting or undoing other editors' contributions. Although this may seem necessary to protect your preferred version of a page, on Wikipedia this is known as "edit warring" and is usually seen as obstructing the normal editing process, as it often creates animosity between editors. Instead of reverting, 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 be blocked from editing Wikipedia. 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 block. Thank you. Neil N  talk to me 15:27, 7 February 2018 (UTC)

Please do not assume ownership of articles as you did at Timothy Bigelow (soldier). If you aren't willing to allow your contributions to be edited extensively or be redistributed by others, please do not submit them. Per this edit summary.  freshacconci  (✉) 15:28, 7 February 2018 (UTC)

When you havent checked a page and see all of your SOURCED hard work VANDALISED you have a right to revert that work.Jewel Worcester (talk) 15:30, 7 February 2018 (UTC)
 * No, you don't have that right. You are not permitted to label other editor's work as vandalism when it clearly is not. You are required to be civil. You do not own the article. Any article may be edited within Wikipedia guidelines and policy. If you disagree with an edit you discuss it on the article talk page.  freshacconci  (✉) 15:32, 7 February 2018 (UTC)

Please note I have revdeleted many versions of the article as they contained text copied from the Local Worcester Telegram newspaper. --Neil N  talk to me 15:42, 7 February 2018 (UTC)

Hey
I can try to help you understand the way Wikipedia works if you like. It's not easy for the newcomer. You can reply to me here if you like. I'll see it, but I might not be fast in responding. Not only am I semi-retired from Wikipedia, but I'm also unwell. And probably living in a very different time zone (I'm in GMT). But I think you deserve a little bit of explanation and help and I'd be happy to extend that if you want.

No need to reply at all if you're not interested. --Dweller (talk) Become old fashioned! 15:36, 7 February 2018 (UTC)
