Welcome to Wikipedia. Everyone is welcome to contribute to the encyclopedia, but when you add or change content please cite a reliable source for the content of your edit. This is particularly important when adding or changing any facts or figures and helps maintain our policy of verifiability. Take a look at Wikipedia:Citing sources for information about how to cite sources and the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. Thank you. -- Gogo Dodo (talk) 08:07, 5 May 2010 (UTC)

Please also note that Wikipedia is not a soapbox. -- Gogo Dodo (talk) 08:09, 5 May 2010 (UTC)

Please stop edit warring. Continuing to add unsourced material after others have removed it is disruptive to Wikipedia. Please see this guideline -- if your edits are reverted by others, the next step is to discuss, not to repeat indefinitely. --R'n'B (call me Russ) 09:55, 5 May 2010 (UTC)

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war according to the reverts you have made on Bryan MacMahon. Note that the three-revert rule prohibits making more than three reversions on a single page within a 24-hour period. Additionally, users who perform several reversions in content disputes may be blocked for edit warring even if they do not technically violate the three-revert rule. When in dispute with another editor you should first try to discuss controversial changes to work towards wording and content that gains a consensus among editors. Should that prove unsuccessful, you are encouraged to seek dispute resolution, and in some cases it may be appropriate to request page protection. Please stop the disruption, otherwise you may be blocked from editing. You have in fact made the same revert 4 times in a little over 5 hours, as can be seen from the following edits: [1] [2] [3] [4]. JamesBWatson (talk) 13:42, 5 May 2010 (UTC)

I see you have also been involved in a similar edit war at Supreme Court of the United States, where you have made the same revert three times in less than three and a half hours. In addition the edit you have been making there is completely unsourced. Please note that Wikipedia works by consensus. If you think your edits are justified then please explain why in the article's talk page: do not simply keep plugging the same edit over and over again. JamesBWatson (talk) 13:52, 5 May 2010 (UTC)

I have also now found that you are engaged in very similar edit wars at Supreme Court of Ireland and Harvard Law School. If you continue edit warring you will be blocked from editing. JamesBWatson (talk)
