editHello, I'm C.Fred. I noticed that you made a change to an article, University at Buffalo, 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. Thank you. —C.Fred (talk) 19:31, 3 February 2015 (UTC)
- By the way, I did a Google search, and the string "Buffalo University" did not appear in any of the top 10 hits. —C.Fred (talk) 19:58, 3 February 2015 (UTC)
Your recent editing history at University at Buffalo shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war. To resolve the content dispute, please do not revert or change the edits of others when you get reverted. Instead of reverting, please use the article's talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. The best practice at this stage is to discuss, not edit-war. See BRD for how this is done. If discussions reach an impasse, you can then post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection.
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. —C.Fred (talk) 19:32, 3 February 2015 (UTC)
Please do not attack other editors, as you did on University at Buffalo. Comment on content, not on contributors. Personal attacks damage the community and deter users. Please stay cool and keep this in mind while editing. Please be careful when applying labels like "irrational" to editors in edit summaries. At best, it interferes with civil discourse. —C.Fred (talk) 17:12, 4 February 2015 (UTC)
- Hello, I'm Hjarvis. I work in UB's marketing office, and can authoritatively state that "Buffalo University" is not our name [1], nor does it show up commonly (if ever) in search returns or in casual conversation. There are many colleges and universities in Buffalo and that name just doesn't make any sense. Not trying to provoke or prolong an edit war, but I am also puzzled why anyone ever suggested it belonged on the page. Please help keep it off the page -- it's just wrong. Thanks!

Buffalo Bulls
editYou need to stop trying to push an agenda, the discussion is started at Talk:Buffalo Bulls and once complete any and all necessary changes regarding the "New York Bulls" name can be made. You are at the precipice of WP:3RR on Buffalo Bulls men's basketball so be aware you could be blocked if you revert changes again. Particularly with a history of edit warring already. Just be patient. Rikster2 (talk) 13:31, 23 March 2015 (UTC)
