Follow-up: Daaang, that is one sweet list. I've been going on instinct so far, but it sure is nice to have such a plethora of references for when the ol' light bulb goes a smidge dim. Grazie. Saturn comes back around (talk) 05:52, 22 June 2015 (UTC)

March 2018

Your recent editing history at Moons of Pluto 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 are reverted. Instead of reverting, please use the 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.

Oooh, threats. How cute. And of course, no justification whatsoever, just blind parroting. Y'all would make fabulous Communist-era bureaucrats. Saturn comes back around (talk) 16:03, 14 March 2018 (UTC)

It's not a threat, it's for your information, as a courtesy to you, as no one wants to see you blocked. Best Polyamorph (talk) 16:04, 14 March 2018 (UTC)

Some courtesy, for you to revert for a third time an edit that tries to make sense of the completely self-contradictory section of a page, followed up by the um, "courtesy" of telling me if I change it back again, I will be cut off from editing. If these are courtesies, I'm a wallaby. Saturn comes back around (talk) 16:10, 14 March 2018 (UTC)

For the record, a courtesy, sir, would be for you or any of the previous two reverters to please explain how the ratio of 18:22:33 can be in any way compatible with the diagrams at the bottom of the relevant section. That would be the courteous thing to do, at least by my understanding of the term.

(And, not to be a pest or anything, but a new section in the Talk tab is *precisely* what I *did* just do with the last change. But hey, who care about that, eh? Important thing is to revert-n-shut-down.) Saturn comes back around (talk) 16:20, 14 March 2018 (UTC)

Yes, thank you for taking the issue to the talk page. I noticed that you did this prior to my notice here. That's good. And you now have a response on the article talk page so please use that page to discuss. Here on wikipedia we take information from reliable sources and so if someone makes a change that contradicts a reliable source then it is likely to get reverted. That's why your edits were reverted. I don't want you to get blocked, which is why I put the notice on your page. Polyamorph (talk) 16:28, 14 March 2018 (UTC)

Introduction to contentious topics

You have recently edited a page related to gender-related disputes or controversies or people associated with them, a topic designated as contentious. This is a brief introduction to contentious topics and does not imply that there are any issues with your editing.

A special set of rules applies to certain topic areas, which are referred to as contentious topics. These are specially designated topics that tend to attract more persistent disruptive editing than the rest of the project and have been designated as contentious topics by the Arbitration Committee. When editing a contentious topic, Wikipedia’s norms and policies are more strictly enforced, and Wikipedia administrators have special powers in order to reduce disruption to the project.

Within contentious topics, editors should edit carefully and constructively, refrain from disrupting the encyclopedia, and:

• adhere to the purposes of Wikipedia;
• comply with all applicable policies and guidelines;
• follow editorial and behavioural best practice;
• comply with any page restrictions in force within the area of conflict; and
• refrain from gaming the system.

Editors are advised to err on the side of caution if unsure whether making a particular edit is consistent with these expectations. If you have any questions about contentious topics procedures you may ask them at the arbitration clerks' noticeboard or you may learn more about this contentious topic here. You may also choose to note which contentious topics you know about by using the {{Ctopics/aware}} template.
