== Harley Quinn, PhD ==

Hi.

Your recent edits on [[Harley Quinn]] including a Ph.D title in her name are non-constructive and unnecessary. Note that combining "Dr." with any other title (such as "Ph.D") is incorrect, see [https://www.theclassroom.com/how-to-correctly-use-the-titles-dr-phd-with-a-name-12082451.html here]. The [[Poison Ivy (character)|Poison Ivy]] article including a "Dr." and "PhD" (as you pointed out before) in the character's name is a mistake by another editor and has been corrected by me. Please stop restoring your non-constructive edits; it disrupts the article's improvement.

Blue warning icon Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. You appear to be repeatedly reverting or undoing other editors' contributions at The Suicide Squad (film). Although this may seem necessary to protect your preferred version of a page, on Wikipedia this is known as "edit warring" and is usually seen as obstructing the normal editing process, as it often creates animosity between editors. Instead of reverting, please discuss the situation with the editor(s) involved and try to reach a consensus on the talk page.

If editors continue to revert to their preferred version they are likely to lose their editing privileges on that page. This isn't done to punish an editor, but to prevent the disruption caused by edit warring. In particular, editors should be aware of the three-revert rule, which says that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Edit warring on Wikipedia is not acceptable in any amount, and violating the three-revert rule is very likely to result in loss of your editing privileges. Thank you.

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war according to the reverts you have made on Harley Quinn. 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. TylerBurden (talk) 16:18, 4 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
