Your recent editing history at Operation Northwoods 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. -- GB fan 10:47, 15 June 2015 (UTC)


You should also look read this section of the WP:Verfiability policy. It says: "The burden to demonstrate verifiability lies with the editor who adds or restores material, and is satisfied by providing a citation to a reliable source that directly supports the contribution." The information you want to add has been challenged and the edit summaries said you will need to provide a cite for the information. Do not make the changes again without adding a reliable source that directly support your change. -- GB fan 10:52, 15 June 2015 (UTC)

Your recent edits

Information icon Hello and welcome to Misplaced Pages. When you add content to talk pages and Misplaced Pages pages that have open discussion (but never when editing articles), please be sure to sign your posts. There are two ways to do this. Either:

  1. Add four tildes ( ~~~~ ) at the end of your comment; or
  2. With the cursor positioned at the end of your comment, click on the signature button ( or ) located above the edit window.

This will automatically insert a signature with your username or IP address and the time you posted the comment. This information is necessary to allow other editors to easily see who wrote what and when.

Thank you. --SineBot (talk) 02:44, 16 June 2015 (UTC)

Notice of Edit warring noticeboard discussion

Information icon Hello. This message is being sent to inform you that there is currently a discussion involving you at Misplaced Pages:Administrators' noticeboard/Edit warring regarding a possible violation of Misplaced Pages's policy on edit warring. Thank you. Jusdafax 03:52, 16 June 2015 (UTC)

What you can do

You told me on my talk page that you are new and wanted me to tell you if there was anything else you could do. So far your edits have been a bold edit to the article and reverting 3 different editors a total of 5 times along with 4 edits to user talk pages. What you can do is stop reverting the article and go to the article's talk page, Talk:Operation Northwoods to discuss the changes you want to make to the article. You will need to present sources that you believe support your changes. Please read Misplaced Pages:Identifying reliable sources before starting the discussion so you have a better idea about what Misplaced Pages defines as reliable sources. If you change the article back to what you think it should say, you will probably be blocked from editing. There is already a possibility that you may be blocked as were warned about edit warning and you continued to revert after that warning. -- GB fan 10:35, 16 June 2015 (UTC)
