Hello IamMaxB, I've been informed that some of your recent edits have become problematic for users. For instance, you have been reverting edits to pages without explaining why you did that and that is not a good sign to help users improve their editing. This is not a way to stop vandalism; it is restricting users from editing and forcing them to rely on you for what is factually correct. Some have even spoken of being discouraged from editing by this behavior, and even worse it prevents users from adding valid contributions to articles when those edits are reverted and silenced. I was also given evidence of you justifying your editing solely because you perceived an edit as false, but no word of you doing any background-checks to support your reasoning, which any editor should be doing to avoid making mistakes. I find this very troubling, so I have to leave you with a warning now. What I can encourage you to do to improve, however, is to not automatically revert an edit because you believe it's wrong, but talk to the user first and do some checking to make sure the edit is valid instead of relying on your judgment. Please avoid your prior habits and be more responsible with your conduct towards users.
