April 2013[edit]

Your recent editing history at Satanism shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war. Being involved in an edit war can result in your being blocked from editing—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—even if you don't violate the three-revert rule—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. You can post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection. – Richard BB 07:50, 17 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Your edit at Imperialism[edit]

Hi there,

I've started working on Imperialism and I noticed this edit you made awhile back. You said that, "Although technology was not the only reason for European victories, in some battles some of the heaviest fighting was done hand to hand, as in the charge of the 21st Lancers in The battle of Omdurman." But the article Battle_of_omdurman states in several places that the British in that battle had superior rifles and superior artillery which was the deciding factor in the battle, not the charge of the 21st lancers. It appears that you were doing original research when you made this claim but this is against the rules here. We don't write our own conclusions in articles, we simply report on what other people say. Additionally, anything you add to an article should be attributed to reliable sources.

Also, as a courtesy to other editors, you should try to include an edit summary for every edit you make to an article. This helps editors review your edits, understand your intentions, and determine whether or not you are editing in good faith. Thanks, and happy editing!

That may be true, but we need reliable sources to say it. If you have those sources, please either link to them or, if the sources are offline, quote them so that I can verify the information. Thanks! PraetorianFury (talk) 16:08, 24 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
