[edit]
Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. You appear to be engaged in an edit war with one or more editors according to your reverts at Michael Greger. Although repeatedly reverting or undoing another editor's contributions may seem necessary to protect your preferred version of a page, on Wikipedia this is usually seen as obstructing the normal editing process, and often creates animosity between editors. Instead of edit warring, please discuss the situation with the editor(s) involved and try to reach a consensus on the talk page.
If editors continue to revert to their preferred version they are likely to lose editing privileges. This isn't done to punish an editor, but to prevent the disruption caused by edit warring. In particular, editors should be aware of the three-revert rule, which says that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Edit warring on Wikipedia is not acceptable in any amount, and violating the three-revert rule is very likely to lead to a loss of editing privileges. Thank you.

Unlikely what the first paragraph seems to be, it's not an information notice posted by Wikipedia. Both above paragraphs were posted by Alexbrn(talk), in an attempt to intimidate. The mentioned user is reverting article edits without discussion or reasoning. For example, as the comment for one of the reverts the user simply typed "Nah, spammy."[see it at log entry dated 11:25, 12 September 2015], without even discussing the matter. Measures are being taken to assure that the user Alexbrn do not make of Wikipedia his personal reign. samcarecho 15:38, 15 September 2015 (UTC).
- You have four main space edits, all adding material based on poor quality sources with a strong appearance of fringe advocacy. Alexbrn has been here eight years and has over 20,000 edits. I suggest that instead of accusing Alex of things, you ask for his advice. Guy (Help!) 00:09, 16 September 2015 (UTC)
- I will take a deeper look into his history using the Wikipedia API. So far my experience is that Alexbrn is not a good editor, neither someone capable of reasoning. You should do the same instead of looking just to the numbers. Quantity does not mean quality and you should be more careful when judging people. samcarecho 16:04, 16 September 2015 (UTC)
