Hello, I'm 49ersBelongInSanFrancisco. I noticed that you recently removed content from Frank McDonald (journalist) without adequately explaining why. In the future, it would be helpful to others if you described your changes to Wikipedia with an accurate edit summary. If this was a mistake, don't worry; the removed content has been restored. If you would like to experiment, please use the 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. 49ersBelongInSanFrancisco (talk) 09:32, 24 December 2018 (UTC)

Warning

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war according to the reverts you have made on Frank McDonald (journalist); that means that you are repeatedly changing content back to how you think it should be, when you have seen that 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. --David Tornheim (talk) 12:03, 24 December 2018 (UTC)

If you would like to make changes to an article, please see WP:BRD rather than trying to force in your preferred version. You will need to discuss at the article talk page: Talk:Frank_McDonald_(journalist). --David Tornheim (talk) 12:03, 24 December 2018 (UTC)

Welcome

Despite the warning I gave, I do want to welcome you to Wikipedia. --David Tornheim (talk) 12:04, 24 December 2018 (UTC)
