editHello, and welcome to Wikipedia. You appear to be repeatedly reverting or undoing other editors' contributions at Stefan Molyneux. 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 lose their editing privileges. 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 result in loss of your editing privileges. Thank you.

- My first edit was reverted because the source link was incorrect. That was proper, as I did construct it properly. I corrected this with the second edit, but did not see it "live" the next day. When I looked at the revert comment, it was the same as before (improper source link). I thought perhaps I edited an older version of the page. So I added the edit again, this time to the proper page. Again, when I check a day later, the edit is reverted with the same comment. I don't understand this, as the source link was checked and is formatted properly. --16:45, 23 July 2020 (UTC)Fzimmerman (talk)
- The changes you made are contested for several reasons. Similar changes have been discussed before, and the article's talk page is active with many editors already talking about these issues. Please review past consensus and propose your changes on the article's talk page: Talk:Stefan Molyneux. Thanks. Grayfell (talk) 19:18, 23 July 2020 (UTC)

You have shown interest in the intersection of race/ethnicity and human abilities and behaviour.
