Welcome to Wikipedia. We appreciate your contributions, but in one of your recent edits to List of mass hysteria cases, it appears that you have added original research, which is against Wikipedia's policies. Original research refers to material—such as facts, allegations, ideas, and personal experiences—for which no reliable, published sources exist; it also encompasses combining published sources in a way to imply something that none of them explicitly say. Please be prepared to cite a reliable source for all of your contributions. You can have a look at the tutorial on citing sources. Thank you. Ward20 (talk) 16:24, 25 May 2020 (UTC)

Please do not add original research or novel syntheses of published material to articles as you apparently did to List of mass hysteria cases here [1]. Please cite a reliable source for all of your contributions. Thank you. Ward20 (talk) 16:41, 25 May 2020 (UTC)

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war according to the reverts you have made on List of mass hysteria cases; that means that you are repeatedly changing content back to how you think it should be, when you have seen that 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. BananaCarrot152 (talk) 17:00, 25 May 2020 (UTC)
