Sugababes
Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia! I notice you added some wording to the Sugababes infobox, but there are evidently differing opinions about that. Could you join the discussion at Talk:Sugababes and explain your reasoning? Your change turned into a small edit war, which will if anything lead to a protected article and/or blocked accounts, but not to an improvement of the article. If you think that your change is important then you will need to convince your fellow editors that you are right. Otherwise, sooner or later, it will be removed again. I've also left you this message at User talk:82.23.144.111, but I wasn't sure which page you'd see first. Regards, Amalthea  21:05, 22 December 2009 (UTC)
 * As it turns out, a previously uninvolved editor has just removed the bit in question from the infobox. I'd still be interested in your thoughts on the matter, and will keep the talkpage watchlisted. Please don't reintroduce the sentence though until we've come to some conclusion on the talk page, I'm very happy that the edit war stopped so no account had to be blocked. Regards, Amalthea  10:44, 23 December 2009 (UTC)
 * OK, you have again reverted the article in question, but still have not followed my invitation to the discussion. As it stands, everyone who is willing to discuss has rejected your version, so the consensus I can judge is clearly against it. That consensus will not change unless you make an argument for your version. If you do not, I will enforce the existing consensus, and if you continue to edit war against it, you will be blocked for it and the disruption. Again, if you think your version is preferable, you will need to convince other. If you don't, I can guarantee that your version will not be the one this ends with, and you might be disallowed to edit at all. Wikipedia only works if editors communicate civilly and constructively with each other. Amalthea  11:34, 23 December 2009 (UTC)
 * Consensus was determined to be clearly against that sentence. Do not add it back, please, if you do it will be removed again, and continuing to edit war over it would be disruptive. Consensus can change, though, and you are always welcome to join the discussion on the talk page. Kind regards, Amalthea  19:49, 23 December 2009 (UTC)

Consider this your final warning. If you continue to edit war over this issue, your account will be blocked. Consensus among all editors willing to discuss is clear. Unless a new consensus is established, the sentence will not be part of the article. Amalthea 12:29, 28 December 2009 (UTC)
 * OK, I see I have to amend that: if you continue to edit war over any issue, your account will be blocked again. Your refusal to resolve editing disputes through discussion is disruptive, and it stops now. We're always welcoming constructive contributions, and I am always open for improvements to our articles and even to long-standing consensus. This encyclopedia however is a collaborative effort, you need to agree to edit in that spirit. Amalthea  09:53, 5 January 2010 (UTC)

Please refrain from being rude in your edit summaries. Calling an edit that complies to Wiki policies bullshit is not going to help your case. Fixer23 (talk) 23:44, 21 August 2010 (UTC)

Please do not add nonsense to Wikipedia. Such edits are considered vandalism and quickly undone. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox instead. Thank you. Antique Rose &mdash; Drop me a line  15:35, 23 August 2010 (UTC)
