Bicycle helmets in Australia

Hi! Welcome to Misplaced Pages! Have you read the neutral point of view policy? Misplaced Pages articles are required to be as neutral as possible, not taking sides on any question or issue. Your recent addition to Bicycle helmets in Australia seems to be making an argument about why bicycle helmets are bad, and that doesn't work with this policy. I'm going to remove it for now; if you disagree with me, feel free to discuss it at Talk:Bicycle helmets in Australia or ask for a third opinion on whether your proposed edit follows the neutral point of view policy. Thanks! -FisherQueen (talk · contribs) 16:43, 6 March 2013 (UTC)

Edit warring

Hello, and welcome to Misplaced Pages. You appear to be engaged in an edit war with one or more editors according to your reverts at Bicycle helmets in Australia. Although repeatedly reverting or undoing another editor's contributions may seem necessary to protect your preferred version of a page, on Misplaced Pages this is usually seen as obstructing the normal editing process, and often creates animosity between editors. Instead of edit warring, please try to reach a consensus on the talk page.

If editors continue to revert to their preferred version they are likely to be blocked from editing. 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. While edit warring on Misplaced Pages is not acceptable in any amount, breaking the three-revert rule is very likely to lead to a block. Thank you.
