[[Image:Information.svg|25px|alt=|link=]] Hello, I'm [[User:Mephistophelian|Mephistophelian]]. Your recent edit to the page [[:Northern white rhinoceros]] appears to have added incorrect information, so I removed it for now. If you believe the information was correct, please [[Wikipedia:Citing sources|cite a reliable source]] or discuss your change on the article's talk page. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on [[User_talk:Mephistophelian|my talk page]]. Thanks, <!-- Template:Huggle/warn-error-1 --><!-- Template:uw-error1 -->[[User:Mephistophelian|Mephistophelian]] ([[User talk:Mephistophelian|talk]]) 17:48, 13 September 2012 (UTC)
 
[[Image:Ambox warning pn.svg|30px|left|alt=|link=]] You currently appear to be engaged in an [[Wikipedia:Edit warring|edit war]]&#32; according to the reverts you have made on [[:Francis Bacon (artist)]]. Users are expected to [[Wikipedia:TALKDONTREVERT|collaborate]] with others, to avoid editing [[Wikipedia:Disruptive editing|disruptively]], and to [[WP:CONSENSUS|try to reach a consensus]] rather than repeatedly undoing other users' edits once it is known that there is a disagreement.<br>
Please be particularly aware, [[Wikipedia:Edit warring|Wikipedia's policy on edit warring]] states:
# '''Edit warring is disruptive regardless of how many reverts you have made'''; that is to say, editors are not automatically "entitled" to three reverts.
# '''Do not edit war even if you believe you are right.'''
If you find yourself in an editing dispute, use the article's [[Wikipedia:Talk page guidelines|talk page]] to discuss controversial changes; work towards a version that represents [[Wikipedia:Consensus|consensus]] among editors. You can post a request for help at an [[Wikipedia:Noticeboards|appropriate noticeboard]] or seek [[Wikipedia:Dispute resolution|dispute resolution]]. In some cases it may be appropriate to request temporary [[Wikipedia:Protection policy|page protection]]. If you engage in an edit war, you '''may be [[Wikipedia:Blocking policy|blocked]] from editing.'''<!-- Template:uw-ew --> [[User:JamesBWatson|JamesBWatson]] ([[User talk:JamesBWatson|talk]]) 08:26, 21 September 2012 (UTC)
