~~~~ I am at the very beginning of learning to edit Wikipedia. I am taking very tiny baby steps. Brahman12 (talk) 23:08, 19 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

~~~~ It's good if I have someone who knows me here. I hope I can show my integrity, good faith!! Brahman12 (talk) 23:10, 19 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

No problem, good luck. We all start somewhere! Just a note, I deleted User:Brahman12/Sample page at your request, but you're welcome to create sandbox pages like that within your userspace if you want to experiment on your own. It's "published", which means that your edits are viewable by others, but it doesn't actually become a Wikipedia article. DanCherek (talk) 23:26, 19 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I'm looking to make minor edits. I'm very nervous. I'm afraid to touch anything. Any recommendations for avoiding trouble? Brahman12 (talk) 10:01, 17 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I am going to make mistakes I realize now. So, I touch things very lightly from time to time. Hopefully I will figure this out. Thanks for your help!! Brahman12 (talk) 10:12, 17 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Edit warring at Michael Shellenberger

Your recent editing history at Michael Shellenberger 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. -- Valjean (talk) (PING me) 01:59, 28 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Somebody changed the text to mean something different than what is reality. I changed it back. I’m editing for accuracy. Whoever changed it is warring Brahman12 (talk) 03:30, 28 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

When multiple experienced editors are reverting you, you are the one edit warring. Edit warring has NOTHING to do with accuracy or truth. It is always wrong. You should use the talk page rather than edit warring. Seek to convince other editors there. -- Valjean (talk) (PING me) 16:00, 31 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

You're admitting you either don't care about being accurate or you aren't. Brahman12 (talk) 19:57, 31 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Not at all. I am not addressing that. My concern is the edit warring, and around here that is a serious procedural mistake. No amount of "what is the truth" can justify an effort to force one's preferred version. There can be myriad reasons for disagreement, and even if both parties might agree about the truthfulness/factuality of a matter, they might still disagree about what's happening, and around here decisions about content aren't made by just one person. When there are several parties, it becomes a matter where a consensus must stand behind the final "product". Discuss this and figure out the exact nature of the disagreement. It may have nothing to do with the facts, but more about the phrasing, sourcing, manual of style issues, etc. Like I said, there can be myriad aspects that gum up the works. Work it out. Don't battle over it. Readers should not become conscious of any editorial disagreement. The battle happens on the talk page, not in the editing, and it shouldn't be a "battle". It should be a collegial and collaborative effort. -- Valjean (talk) (PING me) 01:09, 1 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Stop edit warring. See WP:Dispute resolution for permitted alternatives.NewsAndEventsGuy (talk) 19:02, 8 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

You're using this platform to downplay the accomplishments of someone else's work. That is not collaborative or fair and it makes Wikipedia biased and unreliable. Save your beef for an oped piece. Brahman12 (talk) 19:19, 8 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Please see Wikipedia:No personal attacks and consider either marking up your reply with strike out, or just deleting it altogether. NewsAndEventsGuy (talk) 19:49, 8 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
