[[File:Stop hand nuvola.svg|30px|left|alt=Stop icon]] Your recent editing history at [[:United States Space Force]] shows that you are currently engaged in an [[Wikipedia:Edit warring|edit war]]; that means that you are repeatedly changing content back to how you think it should be, when you have seen that other editors disagree. 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 [[Wikipedia:Talk page guidelines|talk page]] to work toward making a version that represents [[Wikipedia:Consensus|consensus]] among editors. The best practice at this stage is to discuss, not edit-war; read about [[WP:EPTALK|how this is done]]. If discussions reach an impasse, you can then post a request for help at a relevant [[Wikipedia:Noticeboards|noticeboard]] or seek [[Wikipedia:Dispute resolution|dispute resolution]]. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary [[Wikipedia:Protection policy|page protection]]. |

'''Being involved in an edit war can result in you being [[Wikipedia:Blocking policy|blocked from editing]]'''—especially if you violate the [[Wikipedia:Edit warring#The three-revert rule|three-revert rule]], which states that an editor must not perform more than three [[Help:Reverting|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 do not violate the three-revert rule'''—should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly.<!-- Template:uw-3rr --> [[User:Sundayclose|Sundayclose]] ([[User talk:Sundayclose|talk]]) 18:21, 27 June 2023 (UTC) |

Question
what is wrong with you Nigahiga69 (talk) 13:32, 13 June 2023 (UTC)
- I am ill with the Scottish flu. Got to get some antibiotics to knock it out. Thanks for the concern. BilCat (talk) 13:35, 13 June 2023 (UTC)
A barnstar for you!

17 years and 200,000+ edits! Ad Orientem (talk) 00:28, 16 June 2023 (UTC) |
- Thank you very much! BilCat (talk) 00:33, 16 June 2023 (UTC)
- Well earned! - Ahunt (talk) 00:44, 16 June 2023 (UTC)
- It's been a rough week physically, so I appreciate it. But I'm on antibiotics now, so I should be doing better soon. BilCat (talk) 01:09, 16 June 2023 (UTC)
- Glad to hear it. I've been dealing with some health issues for the last six months. I think the corner has been turned. But being sick is just a miserable feeling. -Ad Orientem (talk) 02:04, 16 June 2023 (UTC)
- Thanks, and yes it is. In my case, this is just a run of the mill cold/flu with added throat infection. I've had it many times before, but this one has been particularly miserable. I've had other health issues for 20 years, with many ups and downs, so I feel for you. I hope/pray it keeps going well for you. BilCat (talk) 02:08, 16 June 2023 (UTC)

Another Question
Hi, hope your getting better. I was wondering how you've kept your sanity for 208,000 edits? Then again, looking at your cat obsession, maybe you haven't. You do say it helps to be crazy. I'm at less than 20 edits and I'm frustrated, mostly from the last week and one particular edit. But, 208,000 edits - yikes! What is your secret and can you bottle it? :) Danchc (talk) 12:13, 25 June 2023 (UTC)
- Lolol. Thanks, I think. I wouldn't say I'm obsessed with cats, but it's pretty close. The "Cat" in my name is actually a reference to my favorite aircraft, the "F-14 Tomcat", so it's mostly coincidental. I'd like that airplane. no matter what it was called, but "Tomcat" probably helped.
- The secret to editing Wikipedia, if there is one, is to find something you enjoy about it. Some people enjoy writing, editing, creating layouts or tables, adding photos, etc. There are a lot of useful tasks that people can then do to help create and improve articles, including things behind the scenes. So find an area or areas you enjoy, and work on those areas first. If you don't enjoy something about it, you won't last, as there are a lot of frustrations. I've actually retired on several occasions, and been semi-retired for long stretches, but Wikipedia can be very addictive. A lot of our "socks" are obsessed with Wikipedia in various unhealthy ways, and it shows. Wikipedia can also be a timesink, so if it's not something you want to spend hours a week on, get out now. I used to read paper encyclopedias a lot when I was younger, so I've always loved knowledge and learning. That is still true with Wikipedia, but I get the chance to contribute to, which is enjoyable for me. When editing Wikipedia loses its joy, I have learned to back off editing, but that's not always easy.
- Wikipedia also takes a lot of time to learn the system, and that can't really be speeded up. So it's best to start slow, and work on things that one already knows. One also has to take a lot of criticism, both constructive and unconstructive fair and unfair. We interact with a lot of different kinds of people from many different cultures, and we don't see things the same way. One has to learn to deal with that. Finally, I think a person can't have an "agenda" for editing Wikipedia. If they do, they do, they probably won't last long.
- So, if you're frustrated after 20 edits, Wikipedia may not be the place for you. There's nothing wrong with admitting that, and moving on. But it's also worth the effort in the long run. You'll have to decide for yourself if it's worth that effort. BilCat (talk) 19:26, 25 June 2023 (UTC)
- Sorry, I forgot that you'd made your first edit in 2006, the year I made my first one! Most of what I said was geared towards a new editor with 20 edits, but you can glean what's applicable in your situation. BilCat (talk) 19:52, 25 June 2023 (UTC)
- I like the Tomcat aircraft, too. Not as sexy as the Buccaneer, but what is? The Tomcat was the only aircraft big enough and powerful enough to carry the Phoenix missile. It was a big, heavy, long-range and very accurate missile for it's time. Nice aircraft and missile. But still not as sexy as a Buccaneer. :)
- I'm not good enough to write full pages, but I like to edit mistakes/vandalism, or add little things. Such as this last week. I added something to an all but irrelevant page and it got reverted as Original Research. In the conversations that followed the reverter didn't budge, despite my entry containing information that proved it was correct. The fact that other paragraphs above it did not also have citation proof was, apparently, irrelevant. As I told them, I know we don't want opinion edits, but what I added was fact, proven by the content. But nope. This is what frustrated me. And yet, another little addition got a thanks, and a format/grammar tweak, that didn't bother me. In fact, I am happy with - always happy to learn. As you say, you have to deal with lots of different people, and I got a stubborn one. It boggles the mind as it really was an almost irrelevant page to get finicky with.
- I rooted through some boxes and found a booklet that I might try to use as a citation. It's officially printed, so maybe one more try.
- Thanks for the response, and double thanks for the advice. Danchc (talk) 20:12, 25 June 2023 (UTC)
- After my first edit got vigorously editted, I didn't feel confident enough to do another for 5 years. I'll stick to small things I know about. :) Danchc (talk) 20:18, 25 June 2023 (UTC)
- Whatever works for you. But the Buccaneer? Sexy? Not to me, but to each their own. I do like the Buccaneer though, and it's a very overlooked plane. A neat little aircraft that did its job well, only the Brits stupidly got rid of their big carriers in the 70s, and it got relegated to land roles. The Tomcat never really reached its potential either. By the time it got the engine it needed (coincidentally, the Buc needed a new engine too, but got it in time), its production was cut for dubious reasons. The Super Bug may have replaced the Tomcat, but it will never fill its shoes. BilCat (talk) 20:26, 25 June 2023 (UTC)
- What about a cute little sparrow with new missiles? They are still in development, but Mach 5 speed and 200+ km range sounds promising. a!rado🦈 (C✙T) 05:25, 26 June 2023 (UTC)
- Cute? F-35s are way too fat-bodied for me. Btw, I had discovered the F-14 about three or four years before Top Gun came out. In fact, I'd even read the original article that inspired the film before it was made. But Top Gun certainly made the F-14 a star. BilCat (talk) 07:16, 26 June 2023 (UTC)
- It also made the F-5 a star, but not in the way she wanted, I guess. a!rado🦈 (C✙T) 09:29, 26 June 2023 (UTC)
- What is that? Some kind of manga? BilCat (talk) 18:55, 26 June 2023 (UTC)
- It's Flight Highschool, Korean comics about plane-girls. Here is translator's site, if you're interested. a!rado🦈아라도 (C✙T) 07:01, 27 June 2023 (UTC)

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 do not violate the three-revert rule—should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly.
