Hello, I'm TechnoSquirrel69. I wanted to let you know that I reverted one of your recent contributions—specifically this edit to Atlas Shrugged—because it did not appear constructive.

Please refrain from making unconstructive edits to Wikipedia, as you did with this edit to Atlas Shrugged. Your edits appear to be vandalism and have been reverted or removed. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. Repeated vandalism can result in the loss of editing privileges. Thank you. —TechnoSquirrel69 (sigh) 03:22, 2 April 2024 (UTC)

Rational selfishness is a direct attempt to justify selfishness, thus it is a very constructive edit, and please stop taking it down. 2600:8800:4021:DE00:80F7:9F14:7472:1231 (talk) 03:25, 2 April 2024 (UTC)

Your recent editing history at Atlas Shrugged shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war; that means that you are repeatedly changing content back to how you think it should be, when you have seen that other editors disagree. To resolve the content dispute, please do not revert or change the edits of others when you are reverted. Instead of reverting, please use the 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; read about 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 you 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 do not violate the three-revert rule—should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly.

RL0919.... How is rational selfishness not a justification of selfishness? You keep deleting a fact that atlas shrugged is a text designed to justify selfishness as a virtue. A critical point that should be pointed out in a wikipedia page. Why do you keep deleting this fact? Please stop. 2600:8800:4021:DE00:80F7:9F14:7472:1231 (talk) 03:48, 2 April 2024 (UTC)

You are inserting your own personal interpretation that is not cited to any sources or otherwise discussed in the article. I explained this on the article's Talk page at Talk:Atlas Shrugged#IP addition to lead about political influence, but you choose to ignore the discussion and keep inserting your preferred text. This is classic edit warring. --RL0919 (talk) 03:52, 2 April 2024 (UTC)

Define rational selfishness while proving it is not a justification of selfishness. This is not a personal interpretation, this is a fact that deserves to be kept on wikipedia and the description of this book. 2600:8800:4021:DE00:80F7:9F14:7472:1231 (talk) 03:57, 2 April 2024 (UTC)

You are specifically adding comments to a sentence about the novel's influence on political figures. That requires sources to support that specific claim about its political influence. And regardless of your arguments, repeatedly re-inserting your preferred text is edit warring. If you haven't followed the link to that term, you should, because it explains how you will be blocked if you continue. --RL0919 (talk) 04:05, 2 April 2024 (UTC)
