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 James Rhodes (pianist). 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 discuss the situation with the editor(s) involved and try to reach a consensus on the talk page.
If editors continue to revert to their preferred version they are likely to lose editing privileges. 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. Edit warring on Misplaced Pages is not acceptable in any amount, and violating the three-revert rule is very likely to lead to a loss of editing privileges.
Please join the discussion that I'm going to start about this at Talk:James Rhodes (pianist). Joseph2302 (talk) 21:56, 26 May 2015 (UTC)
