Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. You appear to be engaged in an edit war with one or more editors&#32; according to your reverts at Waggoner, Illinois. 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 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. 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. While edit warring on Wikipedia is not acceptable in any amount, breaking the three-revert rule is very likely to lead to a block. Thank you. Gtwfan52 (talk) 18:40, 15 May 2013 (UTC)

Hi..can we start over?
I want to apologize. I should have come to your talk page with a friendly explanation of what the problem was rather than insist you come to the article talk page. Maybe if we had had a conversation, this wouldn't have gotten as out of hand as it has. At this point, you have some of your content in the article. If you read the posting I made on the article's talk page, you will find an explanation of why the way you had it was less appropriate than the way it is now. I hope you can let bygones be bygones and that you continue to edit Wikipedia. If nothing else, Waggoner needs another set of eyes watching it, and if you can find references locally (I assume you are a local) a history section would be great! You will find after this a link to a really friendly Q&A forum called the Teahouse, where you can get your questions answered in a non-technical way. Also please read some of the links that are found above this message. If you need any help, feel free to contact me on my talkpage. Gtwfan52 (talk) 19:40, 15 May 2013 (UTC)

I don't know if I should be posting here or on your talk page, but I think this was a misunderstanding. I was trying to edit down the block of text that was there before, while trying to source it. Midway through it was reverted and I think I unknowingly upset you by undoing your edit, but I was just trying to get the content back. Because I am not very familiar with the formatting. Regardless I think my editing days are over. Also I am sorry for undoing your edits without explanation.
