Rock hyrax

Hi. Thanks for your edit to the entry for Rock hyrax. Unfortunately, I had to revert some of your changes. Firstly, the statement that hyraxes are ruminants is simply incorrect (see the reference I added). Secondly, the paragraph you added was problematic. "Largely unknown" is not a terribly encyclopedic term; hyraxes are unknown by people who don't know them - until they read about them in Wikipedia. Also, the issue of the Leviticus reference has been discussed at length in this context, and a reasonable compromise arrived at. Your wording was a bit too POV (pro-Biblical), and departed from the status quo. But please feel free to stick around and continue editing! Arikk (talk) 06:00, 17 July 2011 (UTC)

Your recent editing history at Eagles of Death Metal 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 get reverted. Instead of reverting, please use the article's 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.
