Welcome!

[edit]

Hello and welcome to Wikipedia. Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. The following links will help you begin editing on Wikipedia:

Please bear these points in mind while editing Wikipedia

The Wikipedia tutorial is a good place to start learning about Wikipedia. If you have any questions, see the help pages, add a question to the village pump or ask me on my talk page. By the way, you can sign your name on Talk and discussion pages using four tildes, like this: ~~~~ (the software will replace them with your signature and the date). Again, welcome!

[edit]

Information icon Hello, I'm Dennis Bratland. I noticed that you made a change to an article, Offenhauser, but you didn't provide a reliable source. It's been removed and archived in the page history for now, but if you'd like to include a citation and re-add it, please do so! If you need guidance on referencing, please see the referencing for beginners tutorial, or if you think I made a mistake, you can leave me a message on my talk page.

You seem to be carrying on a very old grudge over the use of the Offenhauser name. If you have other sources to contradict http://www.hemmings.com/magazine/mus/2008/01/Fred-C--Offenhauser/1567556.html please go to Talk:Offenhauser and participate in the discussion.

Your recent editing history at Offenhauser 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 are 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.

Please stop edit warring. There is a talk page to discuss the changes you would like to make. Dennis Bratland (talk) 00:45, 3 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

You're right! I think I've fixed it now.

[edit]

I moved your comments over to Talk:Offenhauser#Offenhauer/Meyer-Drake Engine Page and continue the discussion there. I think I've corrected my errors now, and I spun off a separate Offenhauser Sales Corporation article. It still needs more work but it's on the right track now.

Please comment at the article's talk page.

Be aware, also of Wikipedia's Wikipedia:Conflict of interest guidelines. Your best bet is make suggestions only at the talk page of companies you are personally connected to, rather than edit the articles directly.--Dennis Bratland (talk) 03:26, 3 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Please use the article's talkpage to make edit requests, as described at WP: Conflict of interest#Edit requests from COI or paid editors. Thanks. Brianhe (talk) 04:40, 16 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]
