  Hello, I'm Dolfinz1972. I noticed that you made one or more changes to an article, but you didn't provide a reliable source. It's been removed and archived in the page history for now, but if you'd like to include a citation and re-add it, please do so! If you need guidance on referencing, please see the referencing for beginners tutorial, or if you think I made a mistake, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Feel free to correct me though, and please add sources if you can. See WP:RS. I reverted them as good faith edits. Dolfinz1972 (talk) 05:12, 14 June 2018 (UTC)Reply

  Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. You appear to be repeatedly reverting or undoing other editors' contributions at HAL Tejas. 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. —Gazoth (talk) 20:23, 23 June 2018 (UTC)Reply

  Hello and welcome to Wikipedia. Constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, but a recent edit of yours has an edit summary that appears to be inaccurate or inappropriate. The summaries are helpful to people browsing an article's history, so it is important that you use edit summaries that accurately tell other editors what you did. Feel free to use the sandbox to make test edits.
Note: this edit was much more than just 'fixing a comma in a date'. Please leave more accurate edit summaries with your edits. Thank you

U.S. vs. US

You'll want to consult our Manual of Style, specifically in the section MOS:US about the usage of periods in that abbreviation. As The Chicago Manual of Style has advised dropping the periods since 2010, we've started to advise the same thing. In short, please don't change an article to use them if it consistently doesn't. Also, we don't use periods in "UK" ever. Imzadi 1979  23:44, 3 July 2018 (UTC)Reply
