Homoeopathy

Please note that there is an Arbitration Committee ruling involving pages relevant to homoeopathy - see the Talk:Homeopathy page. Any major changes to the page, and especially to the lead, really need to be discussed on the talk page to achieve consensus for them. There are a number of issues with regard to your proposed edits that need to be discussed there. Brunton (talk) 12:45, 30 July 2009 (UTC)

Thanks for the heads-up. I have offered discussion on the Talk page. Dbrisinda (talk) 03:10, 31 July 2009 (UTC)

3RR Warning

Your recent editing history shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war; that means that you are repeatedly changing content back to how you think it should be, when you have seen that other editors disagree. 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; read about 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 you 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 do not violate the three-revert rule—should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly.

You are part of the discussion here --JeanandJane (talk) 02:38, 8 August 2009 (UTC)

Thanks for the heads-up. Dbrisinda (talk) 06:56, 8 August 2009 (UTC)

Think again about tagging the article. I agree with you but an administrator might block "both sides" for "disruption".--JeanandJane (talk) 17:44, 9 August 2009 (UTC) --JeanandJane (talk) 17:44, 9 August 2009 (UTC)

Re: some recent edits

Please make sure you are aware of WP:CANVASS. Thanks, Verbal chat 21:06, 8 August 2009 (UTC)

The issue concerning the possible ban of a valued member of the community who has strongly challenged other members' contentions, is a subject that involves the greater community and *not* just an ill-disposed sub-group of the community. Why is it that this information was being kept "secret" by not announcing it in any way? Dbrisinda (talk) 02:14, 9 August 2009 (UTC)

It was announced on the Admin Incidents noticeboard. That is where these community discussions happen. My note was simply to make you aware of the rules about canvassing. Verbal chat 13:53, 9 August 2009 (UTC)

I observe that Dbrisinda noticed Shot_info as well as me, so I hardly think it looks like a one-sided canvass, but rather a solicitation of a wider range of views in an important discussion. —Whig (talk) 04:34, 9 August 2009 (UTC)

I requested arbitration enforcement for your edits in Homeopathy
