Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. I noticed that you made a change to an article, BDSM, but you didn't provide a reliable source. It's been removed for now, but if you'd like to include a citation and re-add it, please do so! If you need guidance on referencing, please see the referencing for beginners tutorial, or if you think I made a mistake, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you!

BDSM vs. disorder
Hi. You may be looking for either sexual sadism disorder, the medical condition involving non-consensual ideation or behaviour, or sexual masochism disorder, For the medical condition in which pain/humiliation is required for sexual arousal and causes distress or impairment. The BDSM article is about consensual behavior not involving distress or impairment, and comes under neither of these headings. -- The Anome (talk) 14:51, 10 August 2016 (UTC)
 * I'd like a response to this, as your repeated reverts to that article could be construed as vandalism. HalJor (talk) 18:04, 10 August 2016 (UTC)

August 2016
Your recent editing history at BDSM 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.

Relevant quote from the ICD-10 guidelines
I see you are quoting the ICD-10 as support for your edits. This is not supported by the WHO's own ICD-10 guidelines, which state:


 * "Mild degrees of sadomasochistic stimulation are commonly used to enhance otherwise normal sexual activity. This category should be used only if sadomasochistic activity is the most important source of stimulation or necessary for sexual gratification."
