Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. You appear to be repeatedly reverting or undoing other editors' contributions at Decennial Mineral Exploration Conferences. 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 be blocked from editing Wikipedia. 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 lead to a block. Thank you. RolandR (talk) 18:31, 13 June 2018 (UTC)

Hello RolandR, thank you for your comments. I'm new to editing Wikipedia articles and did not intend to purposely revert the page version. In error, I thought that my change didn't "Save" and so went back to try again. I will leave the current version as it is. I will however provide my rationale for removing the Notoriety template: I believe that within the geoscientific community this conference (DMEC) is widely regarded as an important collection and review of knowledge, trends, and innovation that is summarized every 10 years, with a look ahead to the next 10 years. The mining industry is an important global industry - and this conference is an important mining conference. Seems notable to me. Please let me know how I can improve the notoriety of this page to meet the Wikipedia criteria. Thanks! Tpithawala (talk) 12:31, 14 June 2018 (UTC)
