Hello, I'm Tutelary. I noticed that you made a change to an article, The Exodus, but you didn't provide a source. I’ve removed it for now, but if you’d like to include a citation to a reliable source and re-add it, please do so! If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thanks. Tutelary (talk) 21:18, 2 October 2014 (UTC)

Some more welcome, and advice
Hi William. while wikipedia is indeed "an encyclopedia that anyone can edit" it is also a pretty complicated place. There is a lot to learn about how we do things, and about the policies and guidelines and customs that the community has built up over the years, to allow us to interact with each other in a rational, calm way. It takes time, and willingness, to learn. It is great that you created an account and I hope you stick around and learn how things work. I want to advise you to not start out working on articles that you are passionate about. If you do that, and start getting in arguments with people before you understand how things work (if you let your passion get ahead of your ability to work effectively here) you are going to end up angry and miserable, and upset a bunch of people in the process. If you want to go ahead and work on something you care about a lot, just remember to go slow, take your time, ask questions, and please know that what you want, may not be possible here in Wikipedia, due to one or more of our policies or guidelines. Take it slow. Good luck. Jytdog (talk) 21:41, 2 October 2014 (UTC)
 * I tried to warn you. You are edit warring, and your first edits here are going to lead you directly to a block.  Please come to the article's Talk page and discuss. Jytdog (talk) 22:11, 2 October 2014 (UTC)

Edit war warning
Your recent editing history at The Exodus shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war. Being involved in an edit war can result in your 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.

To avoid being blocked, instead of reverting please consider using the article's talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. See BRD 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.
