Edit war
Since you have reverted in the Anne Bayefsky article several times without motivating your actions on the talk page, thus ignoring the motivation for removing the material you want to have added, I have to inform you that this kind of behavior is forbidden by WP:EW. Furthermore, falsely describing your reverts minor edits is considered vandalism, per WP:VAND, Gaming the system. I hope you will seek consensus, and I see forward to constructive editions. Continued edit warring, however, may lead to blocking. --Jonund (talk) 20:22, 15 August 2009 (UTC)

I see you've been around for a while
...but saw your recent edits to Poly Prep Country Day School and thought you might not know about the Ref Toolbar, so hope the linkage & section that follows is a help. Shearonink (talk) 22:13, 13 January 2013 (UTC)

Thanks -- Wombatjpw (not sure right way to respond)

Adding references can be easy
Hello! Here's how to add references from reliable sources for the content you add to Wikipedia. This helps maintain the Wikipedia policy of verifiability.

Adding well formatted references is actually quite easy: You can read more about this on Help:Edit toolbar or see this video File:RefTools.ogv.
 * 1) While editing any article or a wikipage, on the top of the edit window you will see a toolbar which says "Cite". Click on it.
 * 2) Then click on "Templates".
 * 3) Choose the most appropriate template and fill in as many details as you can. This will add a well formatted reference that is helpful in case the website link (web URL) becomes inactive (dead/link rot) at some point.
 * 4) Click on Preview when you're done filling out the 'Cite (web/news/book/journal)' to make sure that the reference is correct.
 * 5) Click on Insert to insert the reference into your editing window content.
 * 6) Click on Show preview to Preview all your editing changes.
 * 7) Click on Save page. ...and you've just added a complete reference to a Wikipedia article.

Hope this helps, --Shearonink (talk) 22:18, 13 January 2013 (UTC)

I removed the controversial and uncited info per WP:BLP. What you added violated WP:NPOV. I suggest you take it to the talk page as WP:BLP and WP:NPOV are both policy and not guidelines and we all must adhere to it. freshacconci talk to me  14:47, 31 July 2016 (UTC)
