Please do not remove content or templates from pages on Wikipedia, as you did to People of the Dominican Republic, without giving a valid reason for the removal in the edit summary. Your content removal does not appear to be constructive and has been reverted. If you only meant to make a test edit, please use the sandbox for that. Thank you.

I see that you have repeated the same deletion referred to above, which also repeats this same edit: by an IP from West Palm Beach, Florida. Although you gave an edit summary this time, please note that removing sourced material may still be considered disruptive if it does not follow Wikipedia's neutral point of view policy. I have reverted the edit; if you disagree, you may discuss it at Talk:People of the Dominican Republic. Please note also that repeating the same edit without discussion on the talk page, when you see that other editors disagree, is considered edit warring, and may lead to you being blocked from editing Wikipedia. --IamNotU (talk) 05:22, 29 February 2020 (UTC)

Please stop your disruptive editing. If you continue to vandalize Wikipedia, as you did at People of the Dominican Republic, you may be blocked from editing. Please read the above feedback - bring it to the talk page ThadeusOfNazerethTalk to Me! 21:32, 29 February 2020 (UTC)

Your recent editing history at People of the Dominican Republic shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war; that means that you are repeatedly changing content back to how you think it should be, when you have seen that other editors disagree. 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 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 the bold, revert, discuss cycle 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 you 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.

 * Please stop revising my corrections with false DNA as we are not a race. We are a very diverse nationality and you are discriminating other groups of people. You are providing false information with racist undertones and harassment.  SarahThen (talk) 04:46, 1 March 2020 (UTC)
 * Hi, is this edit: one of your corrections you are talking about? It was reverted because the numbers were changed to be different than the numbers actually published in the survey, which you can find on page 20 of the cited source, published by the Oficina Nacional de Estadística. All information in Wikipedia must be verifiable in reliable, published sources. "Correcting" the published figures based on your own opinion does not adhere to the neutral point of view policy. Repeatedly doing so may lead to you being blocked from editing, as may repeatedly removing sourced content because you don't agree with it. Such edits require consensus to be established through discussion on the article's talk page, or if that doesn't work, dispute resolution.
 * You are currently blocked from editing because you keep repeating the same changes without discussing it on the article's talk page. If you want to dispute the content of the article or references, comments in edit summaries or on your own talk page (this page) are not enough. Please read again the Wikipedia policy on edit warring, as well as the "bold, revert, discuss" method. I have already started a section as I mentioned above: Talk:People of the Dominican Republic, where you can explain your concerns. You will need to wait until you are no longer blocked.
 * On the other hand, if you have issues with my behavior, rather than the article content, you can discuss that with me on my talk page, or here. Please note that I have not added any DNA information to the article; the DNA study has been in the article since 2015. It does not refer to Dominicans as a "race", nor does it suggest that they are all the same genetically. All I have done is to check that the numbers in the Wikipedia article correspond correctly to the ones actually published in the study, and restore them to the original ones. You can check it yourself by downloading the spreadsheet file listed in the citation. I am a volunteer editor who is trying to help improve the accuracy and reliability of Wikipedia. Your claims that I have added "false information" and especially of racism and harassment are unfounded and very offensive to me. I am willing to listen and try to resolve problems. I think more progress can be made if the discussion is polite and civil, and does not include any further personal attacks - are you willing to do that? --IamNotU (talk) 18:08, 1 March 2020 (UTC)

You have been blocked from editing for a period of 24 hours for edit warring, as you did at People of the Dominican Republic. Once the block has expired, you are welcome to make useful contributions. During a dispute, you should first try to discuss controversial changes and seek consensus. If that proves unsuccessful, you are encouraged to seek dispute resolution, and in some cases it may be appropriate to request page protection. If you think there are good reasons for being unblocked, please read the guide to appealing blocks, then add the following text below the block notice on your talk page:.

In addition to edit-warring, you are also casting aspersions referring to other editors' contributions as show racist undertones and discrimination, which you did in this edit summary. Continuing to do so will get you blocked for a much longer period of time! Favonian (talk) 10:17, 1 March 2020 (UTC)
