Hello. This is a message to let you know that one or more of your recent contributions, such as the edit(s) you made to Blue-ringed octopus, did not appear to be constructive and have been reverted. Please take some time to familiarise yourself with our policies and guidelines. You can find information about these at our welcome page which also provides further information about contributing constructively to this encyclopedia. If you only meant to make test edits, please use the sandbox for that. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you may leave a message on my talk page. Please read Talk:Blue-ringed octopus#Plural form: octopi vs octopuses before changing the form again. — MATRIX! (a good person!)_{[citation unneeded]} 16:12, 10 December 2023 (UTC)

Hi 2603:6010:7BF0:87A0:ABC0:F92A:C4D:CCDA! I noticed that you have reverted to restore your preferred version of Blue-ringed octopus several times. The impulse to undo an edit you disagree with is understandable, but I wanted to make sure you're aware that the edit warring policy disallows repeated reversions even if they are justifiable.

All editors are expected to discuss content disputes on article talk pages to try to reach consensus. If you are unable to agree at Talk:Blue-ringed octopus, please use one of the dispute resolution options to seek input from others. Using this approach instead of reverting can help you avoid getting drawn into an edit war. Thank you. jayhawker6 (talk) 16:16, 10 December 2023 (UTC)

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war according to the reverts you have made on Blue-ringed octopus. 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. jayhawker6 (talk) 16:18, 10 December 2023 (UTC)
