Welcome to Wikipedia!
Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions, such as the one you made to Visual thinking. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Here are some pages you might like to see:
- The five pillars of Wikipedia
- Help pages
- Tutorial
- How to edit a page and How to develop articles
- Simplified Manual of Style
- Intuitive guide to Wikipedia
You are welcome to continue editing without logging in, but many editors recommend that you create an account. Doing so is free, requires no personal information, and provides several benefits such as the ability to create articles. For a full outline and explanation of the benefits that come with creating an account, please see this page. If you edit without a username, your IP address (75.67.246.17) is used to identify you instead.
In any case, I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Please sign your comments on talk pages using four tildes (~~~~); this will automatically produce your IP address (or username if you're logged in) and the date. If you need help, check out Wikipedia:Questions, ask me on my talk page, or ask your question and then place {{helpme}}
before the question on this page. Again, welcome! Lova Falk talk 17:46, 30 October 2012 (UTC)

Your recent editing history at Aaron Swartz shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war. 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 don't violate the three-revert rule—should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly.
To avoid being blocked, instead of reverting please consider using the article's talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. See BRD for how this is done. You can post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection.

- It's not my fault if someone else decides to revert a valid edit and edit war. Go fuck yourself. 75.67.246.17 (talk) 16:19, 23 January 2013 (UTC)

Heads up
Hi, I wanted to welcome you back. Welcome! Also, the pattern of reverts that led to your previous block is rearing its head again. I think your concerns are reasonable but you must convince others of that on the talk page. Reverting back and forth without discussion, or even while discussion is ongoing, is more or less the definition of an edit war. We limit that type of activity, because most editors think they are genuinely right and have the best interests of the article at heart, and for that very reason discussion is a prerequisite when there is disagreement. Also, reverts tend to raise the editing temperature, something that does not lead to cooler heads prevailing. Take your time, make specific suggestions and proposals, and give other editors a chance to come around to your perspective. Please let me know if I can assist you. I hope you hang around, but please do be careful. Ocaasi t | c 02:27, 24 January 2013 (UTC)
