Popeye Shiner

What exactly are you up to with the fish? Are you part of a class or something? I notice other very similar activity on fish pages. Do you need help learning how to cite material or write encyclopedic prose? It looks like you're pasting a term paper in there. Some of the material might be quite good, but it needs to be cited and rewritten and so on.— alf.laylah.wa.laylah (talk) 00:57, 21 November 2011 (UTC)

Fish stub mass editing

Greetings! Are you part of some class project on fishes? Can you please let me know who your instructor is, or ask your instructor to get in touch with me? It's good that you all are editing these fish articles, but there are some problems in the way it's being done that really ought to be addressed. Thank you!— alf.laylah.wa.laylah (talk) 02:40, 21 November 2011 (UTC)

Edit warring at Popeye shiner

Your recent editing history shows that you are in danger of breaking the three-revert rule, or that you may have already broken it. 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. Breaking the three-revert rule often leads to a block.

If you wish to avoid being blocked, instead of reverting, please use the article's talk page to discuss the changes; work towards a version that represents consensus among editors. 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. You may still be blocked for edit warring even if you do not exceed the technical limit of the three-revert rule if your behavior indicates that you intend to continue to revert repeatedly.
