Edits on Masculinity and Femininity
Hi Theponderinggiant, thanks for your edits on Masculinity and Femininity. While I understand your view on the lead sections, another user has reverted your edits. You must know that especially these lead sections have been under heavy criticism for some time for their large emphasis on sociological views, which affects the article's neutral point of view. Therefore, I made an attempt to improve that situation (see history of both pages), which is accepted by the community. However, I would encourage you to take this discussion to the article's talk page, as you might get some support for changes. Be careful about how to phrase a newly suggested lead section and give due weight to sociological views, as the community has shown to appreciate including these views. NPOV does mean that those views also have a place. Let me know if I can help. Cheers, Pyrite Pro  (talk) 21:25, 6 October 2021 (UTC)

Hello. This is a message to let you know that one or more of your recent contributions, such as the edit you made to Slavery in Canada, did not appear to be constructive and have been reverted. Please take some time to familiarise yourself with our policies and guidelines. You can find information about these at our welcome page which also provides further information about contributing constructively to this encyclopedia. If you only meant to make test edits, please use your sandbox for that. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you may leave a message on my talk page. Per WP:BRD you need to discuss contested edits and attempt to get consensus on the article's talk page rather than restore them. Meters (talk) 00:29, 16 October 2021 (UTC)

Hello, I noticed that you may have recently made edits to Slavery in Canada while logged out. Wikipedia's policy on multiple accounts usually does not allow the use of both an account and an IP address by the same person in the same setting and doing so may result in your account being blocked from editing. Additionally, making edits while logged out reveals your IP address, which may allow others to determine your location and identity. If this was not your intention, please remember to log in when editing. Not a good idea, particularly when you are restoring edits that have already been undone.

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war&#32; according to the reverts you have made on Slavery in Canada. This means that you are repeatedly changing content back to how you think it should be although other editors disagree. Users are expected to collaborate with others, to avoid editing disruptively, and to try to reach a consensus, rather than repeatedly undoing other users' edits once it is known that there is a disagreement.

Points to note: If you find yourself in an editing dispute, use the article's talk page to discuss controversial changes and work towards a version that represents consensus among editors. You can post a request for help at an appropriate noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, it may be appropriate to request temporary page protection. If you engage in an edit war, you may be blocked from editing. Meters (talk) 00:32, 16 October 2021 (UTC)
 * 1) Edit warring is disruptive regardless of how many reverts you have made;
 * 2) Do not edit war even if you believe you are right.

There is currently a discussion at Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents regarding an issue with which you may have been involved. Thank you. Meters (talk) 01:16, 16 October 2021 (UTC)

Please stop attacking other editors, as you did on Talk:Slavery in Canada. If you continue, you may be blocked from editing. Comment on content, not on other contributors or people. Meters (talk) 04:30, 16 October 2021 (UTC)

Your recent editing history at Slavery in Canada 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 do not violate the three-revert rule&mdash;should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly.

Partial block from Slavery in Canada
 You have been blocked from editing certain areas of the encyclopedia for a period of one week for edit warring. Note that you still retain the ability to edit the article talk page (Talk:Slavery in Canada), but you do need to better moderate your tone there, writing professionally without innuendo. Otherwise, additional sanctions are likely. Thanks and good luck. Once the block has expired, you are welcome to make useful contributions. 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:.
