Alternatively, leave me a message at my talk page or type  here on your talk page and someone will try to help. To get some practice editing you can use a sandbox. You can [//en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:Mypage/sandbox&action=edit&preload=Template:User_Sandbox/preload create your own personal sandbox] for use any time. It's perfect for working on bigger projects. Then for easy access in the future, you can put  on your user page.

Hi Kingdavi1993! I noticed that you have reverted to restore your preferred version of Soul music several times. The impulse to undo an edit you disagree with is understandable, but I wanted to make sure you're aware that the edit warring policy disallows repeated reversions even if they are justifiable.

All editors are expected to discuss content disputes on article talk pages to try to reach consensus. If you are unable to agree&#32;at Talk:Soul music, please use one of the dispute resolution options to seek input from others. Using this approach instead of reverting can help you avoid getting drawn into an edit war. Yes, terms like African American'' change over time. However, there are links in place to articles like African-American culture, so changing the term in the article about soul music may make it unclear to the reader that the Foundational Black American community and the African American community are the same thing.''. —C.Fred (talk) 05:13, 23 February 2022 (UTC)

Hello. This is a message to let you know that one or more of your recent contributions, such as the edit you made to Soul music, did not appear to be constructive and have been reverted. Please take some time to familiarise yourself with our policies and guidelines. You can find information about these at our welcome page which also provides further information about contributing constructively to this encyclopedia. If you only meant to make test edits, please use your sandbox for that. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you may leave a message on my talk page. ''You are clearly attempting to be WP:POINTY. Your original attempt was reverted within a few hours. Each of your edits today have been reverted within a few minutes. Your actions to not appear to be constructive and I suggest you stop.'' Walter Görlitz (talk) 05:49, 23 February 2022 (UTC)
 * If you would like to discuss your edits to a specific article, my talk page would be the wrong place for that, wouldn't it?
 * The edit notice makes it clear that the place to discuss those topics is the article's talk page. Walter Görlitz (talk) 05:53, 23 February 2022 (UTC)

Please stop your disruptive editing. If you continue to disrupt Wikipedia, as you did at Soul music, you may be blocked from editing. Walter Görlitz (talk) 06:05, 23 February 2022 (UTC)
 * If you are engaged in an article content dispute with another editor, discuss the matter with the editor at their talk page, or the article's talk page, and seek consensus with them. Alternatively you can read Wikipedia's dispute resolution page, and ask for independent help at one of the relevant noticeboards.
 * If you are engaged in any other form of dispute that is not covered on the dispute resolution page, seek assistance at Wikipedia's Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents.

Report me?
As for the suggestion that you might be forced to report me, by all means. The place to report me would likely be WP:ANI. Before you do, however, please read WP:BOOMERANG. Your actions have placed you in a precarious position. You have not gained WP:CONSENSUS to change the accepted term, African-American culture, to anything else. I suggest you do that before you continue your battle at the soul music article. Walter Görlitz (talk) 06:08, 23 February 2022 (UTC)
