Issue of August 11 Florida Cases
Saw your message! So sorry, I am not sure where I got the 6,575 number, I was working with the official FDOH report for today and it definitely says 5,886! Thanks for pointing that out, I'll edit it accordingly. :) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Olgsandbox (talk • contribs) 20:19, 11 August 2020 (UTC)

Re: COVID-19 pandemic in South Dakota
I had to revert/refactor some of your changes. The choices of wording sound non-neutral and are in a tone inappropriate for an encyclopedia. ViperSnake151  Talk  00:51, 3 September 2020 (UTC)

Welcome to Wikipedia. We appreciate your contributions, but in one of your recent edits, it appears that you have added original research, which is against Wikipedia's policies. Original research refers to material—such as facts, allegations, ideas, and personal experiences—for which no reliable, published sources exist; it also encompasses combining published sources in a way to imply something that none of them explicitly say. Please be prepared to cite a reliable source for all of your contributions. You can have a look at the tutorial on citing sources. Thank you. ViperSnake151  Talk  18:46, 21 September 2020 (UTC)

OR
The OR was a statement on the South Dakota article, where, citing a page that only contains statistics, you added an aside that said "In reality, South Dakota's average COVID-19 case rates tripled in the month since the end of the Sturgis Rally." WP:OR means you cannot interpret a source to declare your own conclusion. You need a reliable secondary source that makes the same observation. The remainder of the section already states reasons for the spike in SD besides Sturgis (and besides, per WP:RS I'm not sure if the "250,000 cases" study counts as a reliable source because it's not peer-reviewed. I hate to say I actually agree with Noem on something). ViperSnake151  Talk  19:28, 21 September 2020 (UTC)

Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. You appear to be repeatedly reverting or undoing other editors' contributions at COVID-19 pandemic in South Dakota. 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 on that page. 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. &#123;{u&#124; Sdkb  }&#125;  talk 18:52, 25 October 2020 (UTC)
