Hello, I'm Drmies. An edit that you recently made to Useful idiot seemed to be a test and has been reverted. If you want to practice editing, please use your sandbox. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thanks! Drmies (talk) 17:28, 6 April 2025 (UTC)

• Ah I see you've already got a career in edit warring in that article, as 2A02:C6C1:A:28E:0:0:0:22 (talk · contribs · WHOIS). Drmies (talk) 17:30, 6 April 2025 (UTC)

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war according to the reverts you have made on Useful idiot. This means that you are repeatedly changing content back to how you think it should be although other editors disagree. 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.

Points to note:

1. Edit warring is disruptive regardless of how many reverts you have made;
2. 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 and 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. Drmies (talk) 17:31, 6 April 2025 (UTC)

I think you should schedule an appointment with your psychotherapist/psychiatrist about this. ShirtMonopoly (talk) 18:18, 6 April 2025 (UTC)

That's not acceptable. Also, no examples on Template:cite book are linked, and the text says "may be wikilinked if relevant"--why would it be relevant? Drmies (talk) 19:05, 6 April 2025 (UTC)

There is currently a discussion at Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents regarding an issue with which you may have been involved. Drmies (talk) 19:02, 6 April 2025 (UTC)

You may be blocked from editing without further warning the next time you make personal attacks on other people, as you did at User talk:ShirtMonopoly. Comment on content, not on fellow editors. The Bushranger _{One ping only} 19:55, 6 April 2025 (UTC)
