Dear User Wikidave2009 , I noticed that you have repeatedly removed credible sources from well-established authors and outlets from the National Iranian American Council page. Please do not remove content or templates from pages on Wikipedia without giving a valid reason for the removal in the edit summary. Your content removal does not appear to be constructive and has been reverted. If you only meant to make a test edit, please use the sandbox for that. Thank you. I also noticed that all of your edits and revisions have been on Trita Parsi and NIAC. In addition to being a single purpose account, your constant removal of good and well-sourced information is hindering these pages' development. Please stop deleting this information and if you disagree with them feel free to add your sources to balance them out. This is a warning that If you continue to ignore this, I will ask for a third party review since you have done this many times. I have now revisioned the article. Thank you --Alwaysf 11:09, 10 January 2018 (UTC)

For the past 8 years Since 2009 You have only edited in relation to Trita Parsi and National Iranian American Council. Do you have any association with them? Any relevant conflict of interest must be disclosed. Alwaysfairmind (talk) 12:11, 10 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

January 2018[edit]

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war according to the reverts you have made on National Iranian American Council. 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.

Please be particularly aware that Wikipedia's policy on edit warring states:

Edit warring is disruptive regardless of how many reverts you have made.
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; 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.
I've protected this article, and I urge you to start working out your differences on the article talk page. Your edit summaries do not count as discussion. Katie^talk 16:12, 17 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

June 2018[edit]

Hello, I'm Shellwood. I wanted to let you know that I reverted one of your recent contributions —specifically this edit to National Iranian American Council— because it did not appear constructive. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. If you have any questions, you can ask for assistance at the Help Desk. Thanks. Shellwood (talk) 17:09, 6 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

→Hi Shellwood, I think you should reconsider. I did three constructive edits. 1) Restoring relevant content that had been on the page for a long time and was deleted off the page by a permanently banned user. 2) I updated the organization's chair and added an upcoming leadership transition. 3) I fixed text that had mischaracterized an opinion column as a news article.
