Please do not add commentary or your own personal analysis to Wikipedia articles, as you did to Kombucha. Doing so violates Wikipedia's neutral point of view policy and breaches the formal tone expected in an encyclopedia. Thank you. --Orange Mike | Talk 18:46, 5 November 2013 (UTC)

Please do not insert fringe or undue weight content into articles, as you did to Kombucha. An article should not give undue weight to any aspects of the subject but should strive to treat each aspect with a weight appropriate to its significance to the subject. Please use the article's talk page to discuss the material and its appropriate weight within the article. Thank you. When dealing with medical issues, you must follow our guidelines as to reliable sources on medical topics. --Orange Mike | Talk 18:46, 5 November 2013 (UTC)

Kombucha and Wikipedia:Identifying reliable sources (medicine)

Please read Wikipedia:Identifying reliable sources (medicine) - your edit summary [1] makes it abundantly clear that you have failed to understand the guideline. I suggest that you also read Wikipedia:Edit warring, as you have almost certainly already violated this policy, and risk being blocked from editing. I suggest that you self-revert, read the relevant guidelines and policies, and then discuss issues on the article talk page, as is required. AndyTheGrump (talk) 18:59, 5 November 2013 (UTC)

Your recent edits

Hello and welcome to Wikipedia. When you add content to talk pages and Wikipedia pages that have open discussion (but never when editing articles), please be sure to sign your posts. There are two ways to do this. Either:

1. Add four tildes ( ~~~~ ) at the end of your comment; or
2. With the cursor positioned at the end of your comment, click on the signature button ( or ) located above the edit window.

This will automatically insert a signature with your username or IP address and the time you posted the comment. This information is necessary to allow other editors to easily see who wrote what and when.

Thank you. --SineBot (talk) 19:20, 5 November 2013 (UTC)

Your edits to the Kombucha article

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war. Users are expected to collaborate with others, to avoid editing disruptively, and to try to reach a consensus rather than repeatedly undoing other users' edits once it is known that there is a disagreement.

Please be particularly aware, Wikipedia's policy on edit warring states:

1. Edit warring is disruptive regardless of how many reverts you have made; that is to say, editors are not automatically "entitled" to three reverts.
2. Do not edit war even if you believe you are right.

If you find yourself in an editing dispute, use the article's talk page to discuss controversial changes; work towards a version that represents consensus among editors. You can post a request for help at an appropriate noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases it may be appropriate to request temporary page protection. If you engage in an edit war, you may be blocked from editing. Alexbrn ^{talk|contribs|COI} 20:40, 5 November 2013 (UTC)

Notice of Edit warring noticeboard discussion

Hello. This message is being sent to inform you that there is currently a discussion involving you at Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Edit warring regarding a possible violation of Wikipedia's policy on edit warring. Thank you. AndyTheGrump (talk) 20:42, 5 November 2013 (UTC)

I've closed the report without blocking, but please take care in the future to avoid edit warring and adhere to WP:MEDRS or you may be blocked in the future. Mark Arsten (talk) 21:23, 5 November 2013 (UTC)

You have been blocked from editing for a period of 24 hours for edit warring. Once the block has expired, you are welcome to make useful contributions. If you think there are good reasons why you should be unblocked, you may appeal this block by adding the following text below this notice: {{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}}. However, you should read the guide to appealing blocks first.

During a dispute, you should first try to discuss controversial changes and seek consensus. If that proves unsuccessful, you are encouraged to seek dispute resolution, and in some cases it may be appropriate to request page protection.  Mark Arsten (talk) 00:23, 6 November 2013 (UTC)
