Hello, I'm Mattythewhite. I noticed that you added or changed content in an article, Sarah Olney, but you didn't provide a reliable source. It's been removed and archived in the page history for now, but if you'd like to include a citation and re-add it, please do so. You can have a look at the tutorial on citing sources, or if you think I made a mistake, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. Mattythewhite (talk) 20:27, 28 March 2020 (UTC)

Hi Mattythewhite, sorry about the confusion and you're right I should have added a 'reliable source'. However, that piece of information mentions a letter between someone and Sarah Olney, that someone is me so I added it so everyone knows that Olney isn't standing and gives a short reason why. If you would like I could add an image of the letter as a source. Many thanks. Normenia (talk) 20:33, 28 March 2020 (UTC)

Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. You appear to be repeatedly reverting or undoing other editors' contributions at Sarah Olney. 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 lose their editing privileges. 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 result in loss of your editing privileges. Thank you.

Hi a sincere thanks for letting me know about "edit warring". However, the letter referred to in the text we are debating about is real and I know as I'm the one who received the reply from Olney. Thank you once again. Normenia (talk) 23:07, 28 March 2020 (UTC)


 * What you say has to be verifiable, though. This is considered especially important with articles about living people. Dorsetonian (talk) 23:12, 28 March 2020 (UTC)
