Notice of edit warring

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war according to the reverts you have made on Tyler Henry. Users are expected to collaborate with others, to avoid editing disruptively, and to try to reach a consensus rather than repeatedly undoing other users' edits once it is known that there is a disagreement.

Please be particularly aware that Wikipedia's policy on edit warring states:

Edit warring is disruptive regardless of how many reverts you have made.
Do not edit war even if you believe you are right.

If you find yourself in an editing dispute, use the article's talk page to discuss controversial changes; work towards a version that represents consensus among editors. You can post a request for help at an appropriate noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases it may be appropriate to request temporary page protection. If you engage in an edit war, you may be blocked from editing. Jim1138 (talk) 08:32, 13 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, Waterv1, welcome to Wikipedia. I've posted the two alerts above because of your editing at Tyler Henry. The alerts mean, in layman's language, that you can be topic banned from the article (=no longer allowed to edit it) if an administrator determines that your editing has been a persistent problem there. I'm sorry the alerts themselves are so bureaucratic-sounding, but they have to be posted exactly as is in order to "count".

Removing a whole long well-sourced section of critical analysis, not once but twice, and removing all trace of criticism of Henry from the lead, is disruptive editing; please stop doing such edits unless you have consensus for them on the talkpage. Do you have any connection with the subject of the article, such as being a family member or employed by him? See Wikipedia:Conflict of interest. I'm not saying you are being paid to edit the article, but if you are, you must disclose it (here on this page is fine), see Wikipedia:Paid-contribution disclosure.
