I am new to Wikipedia, simply to create this webpage. I met Dean a few years ago at a conference. I am a fan of paleontology and think his work is noteworthy of a wikipedia page. [[User:Dino710|Dino710]] ([[User talk:Dino710|talk]]) 22:08, 16 May 2018 (BST) |

Hello and welcome to Wikipedia. When you add content to talk pages and Wikipedia pages that have open discussion (but never when editing articles), such as at Wikipedia:Teahouse, please be sure to sign your posts. There are two ways to do this. Either:
- Add four tildes ( ~~~~ ) at the end of your comment, or
- With the cursor positioned at the end of your comment, click on the signature button located above the edit window.
This will automatically insert a signature with your username or IP address and the time you posted the comment. This information is necessary to allow other editors to easily see who wrote what and when.
Thank you. Drm310 🍁 (talk) 16:39, 4 May 2018 (UTC)
I've noticed you edit pretty much exclusively on topics related to Dean Lomax. This is often an indication that a WP:COI may exist with an editor for the subject they edit. As a new editor, I recommend reading that COI guideline in case that does apply to you. In cases where it does apply, editors are expected to disclose that they have a close affiliation with the subject and not edit the article directly. Kingofaces43 (talk) 20:44, 16 May 2018 (UTC)

Edit warring
Your recent editing history at Dean Lomax shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war. 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 talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. The best practice at this stage is to discuss, not edit-war. See BRD for how this is done. If discussions reach an impasse, you can then post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection.
Being involved in an edit war can result in your 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.
Please remember that when your edits are contested, you are expected to gain WP:CONSENSUS on the talk page for them, not edit war them back in. Kingofaces43 (talk) 19:41, 17 May 2018 (UTC)
