You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war according to the reverts you have made on Henry VII of England. 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, Wikipedia's policy on edit warring states:
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. Ross'coolguyCVU 01:38, 11 January 2013 (UTC)
Fair enough. Except you did manually revert his edit once before that, which has the same effect. It is always better to discuss disputes on the talk page of the article rather than undoing each other's edits. Thanks! RosscoolguyCVU 02:02, 11 January 2013 (UTC)
I saw you reverted my edit for being uncited and I am wondering if this would be an acceptable citation for a magazine print article. Time Magazine, November 19th, 2012 Issue; "The White House - Obama's Path to Victory", pages 16-17
Does that look good? Whitestorm17 (talk) 22:30, 21 January 2013 (UTC)
Why are you deleting the label of so many private, for profit colleges. Of course a public institution cannot be a for private, that's why they're marked as PRIVATE, FOR PROFIT. Do you understand the difference between PRIVATE and PUBLIC? Public means an institution owned by a governmental entity, such as a school district or state. Private denotes private sector ownership. it can be an individual, a partnership, a corporation, a Co-op, or even a not for profit entity. Not sure what the agenda you're pursuing here is. StevenBradford (talk) 20:19, 12 April 2013 (UTC)
So your'e saying it's redundant. There are taxonomic reasons for having finer grain detail, but if it's that important to you. okay. — Preceding unsigned comment added by StevenBradford (talk • contribs) 14:45, 13 April 2013 (UTC)
Just wanted to add in my opinion. I would agree with StevenBradford, that it is not redundant for students who are not aware that there are no public for-profit colleges. I would disagree with you that it causes confusion with the idea that some colleges are "publicly" traded, as in fact, it is not the school that is publicly traded, but the corporation owning the schools. Additionally, in the education sector, it is VERY common to refer to for-profit colleges as "private for-profit." For example, the government managed website "College Navigator" refers to for-profit colleges as "private, non-profit" to avoid confusion by students. I understand your point of view, but I do think that the changes you made are not in-line with overall sentiment in the education community. EtanaLF (talk) 20:57, 16 April 2013 (UTC)
I disagree with your revert. Many applicants to US colleges can not afford the high priced tuition to elite schools such as Cornell, and actively seek realistic alternatives to keep them out of debt. Readers of such a choice, contemplating high college costs, would very much like to know about the Canadian alternative.--Tomwsulcer (talk) 20:05, 25 April 2013 (UTC)
Sure, but Wikipeida is not user guide or "how-to" for readers. The article about college admissions in the United States should contain only factual information about college admissions in the United States. If you believe Americans going to Canada to save on tuition is important to discuss (and you have evidence that it's a real trend), there are plenty of other articles that might be appropriate. College tuition in the United States, Higher education in Canada, or college tuition are some options.Flyte35 (talk) 20:40, 25 April 2013 (UTC)
I think the edits to University of Phoenix, which you reverted, were actually helpful. In the article's current state, the sentence "In 2010 Apollo Group, University of Phoenix parent company, founded the Apollo Research Institute." doesn't have its context anymore. It no longer makes any sense under the paragraph's thesis sentence about "abbreviated courses and the use of learning teams".
My edits were in no way speculation, but rather copy-edits to tie the sentences together to fix this problem. --Sbluen (talk) 22:45, 25 April 2013 (UTC)
Flyte? Who are you and what's your reason for making these edits? I am a community college educator and strategic corporate researcher and have been following higher education for several years. I do not work for any company or union and I am against short-selling stock. I am interested in helping the public understand what's happening in higher education, and how military veterans, single mothers, people of color, people who are disabled, immigrants, and the underemployed are targeted for education that's either too expensive or limited in value. My focus has been on for-private colleges because they serve as an extreme case of the neoliberal "business model." — Preceding unsigned comment added by 204.108.244.86 (talk) 12:15, 6 May 2014 (UTC)
We demand that you update our Wiki entry to say "Private University" - our true classification - and stop labeling us a for-profit career college. We will not hesitate to subpoena all of your true identities again in federal court. We've already been assisted in bringing down the Controversy section of our page due to our cyber-stalkers spreading lies about us. Just because our investors are Mormon does not mean we are a Mormon school. And just because one of our directors was investigated for fraud and bribery years ago does not mean our school deserves a Controversy section on Wikipedia. We will continue to fight anyone who attacks our school on the internet. You have been warned.
In the edit just prior to this one, where I fix a formatting typo, you reverted my edit in this same section, and gave a pretty good reason - just not enough space in edit summary for me to get the full gist of what you were trying to say.
As you can see, in http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=College_tuition_in_the_United_States&diff=prev&oldid=561611852 I made the following addition:
"This factor becomes more pronounced in modern times, since more students nowadays are going to college, which means that there are less state and federal grant funds available per student."
with the following edit summary:
"(→Additional factors: revert good-faith mistake edit of 01:34, 30 April 2013 : This claim seems to be supported/implied by the reference; however, even if not, the fact more students are in college is common knowledge = needs no documentation/citation)"
You RE-reverted (reverted my revert) with this summary:
"(Undid revision 561595261 by 71.100.195.160 (talk) more students common knowledge, but that increasing tuition discounting (or reducing state funds) not common knowledge/in reference)"
Apparently, you had removed this in a prior edit before I got there in the Revision as of 01:34, 30 April 2013 (edit) (undo) Flyte35 (talk | contribs) (→Additional factors: that factor is also addressed in Kantrowitz) Next edit → http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=College_tuition_in_the_United_States&diff=552819582&oldid=552805540
(This is getting confusing, but in summary -- apparently, you removed something in the article, I replaced/restored it, and you removed it again.) No offense meant, but I am confused by both of your edit summaries:
Secondly, your edit summary, while good, still left me confused -where you said: "(Undid revision 561595261 by 71.100.195.160 (talk) more students common knowledge, but that increasing tuition discounting (or reducing state funds) not common knowledge/in reference)."
(PS: This higher ed struggle is an important issue, as many students are hurting, and we need to work together here to present the facts, so that any solution is more-easily forthcoming.)
The section in question now states as follows:
The practice of 'tuition discounting,' in which a college awards financial aid from its own funds. This assistance to low-income students means that 'paying' students have to 'make up' for the difference: increased tuition.[10] According to Inside Higher Ed, a new report from the National Association of College and University Business Officers has been done to shed additional light on the practice of tuition discounting. The report notes that "while the total amount spent on institutional aid for freshmen rose, the average amount that institutions spent per student actually dropped slightly," and gives, as one possible reason for this drop that "that colleges and universities had to lower the amount they gave to each student to help cover a larger number of students."[28]

Did I do well?
Also, thank you for fixing the references in your recent edits to http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=College_tuition_in_the_United_States&diff=561927398&oldid=561927126 71.101.52.234 (talk) 06:22, 28 June 2013 (UTC)
Thank you for your additional contributions / edits, here: http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=College_tuition_in_the_United_States&diff=561989805&oldid=561927398 I did a follow-up to see what became of my edit, and I am glad to see that it was accepted in theory, and the corrections you made seem to be good as well. In any event, no offense meant to the rich bankers or higher ed providers (who suck students dry anymore), but as this is a bad level of oppression, I am glad that the "99%" (you, me, and the rest of the Wikipedia community) so to speak, can work together and address these inequities within the constructs of a peaceful framework.71.101.49.65 (talk) 11:46, 30 June 2013 (UTC)
Thank you for your various contributions to Higher Ed articles, Flyte35. But with all due respect, I am puzzled by your recent edit, here.
You removed:
* Lastly, in order to offset the costs of tuition, some colleges help students in job searches and job placement after graduation.
and, you cited "(doesn't address rising tuition)" as the reason.
Respectfully, this does address the rising tuition, even if only to offer a mitigation to the symptom (high college tuition), as opposed to a true cure (lowering it to an affordable level). (In fact, I will admit that job placement alone is almost useless, toothless, and impotent in fixing this -unless one gets a 100 Grand per year job -tuition inflation is that bad; however, strictly-speaking, a job does address the problem.)
So, would you be amenable to reverting your edit? If not, please explain. Thank you.71.101.53.250 (talk) 07:30, 20 July 2013 (UTC)

Hi, Flyte35. I'm wondering why you chose to delete the particular 'uncited' entry in an article absolutely rife with POV entries, lack of citations and, if you check the talk page, has been blighted by nationalistic 'contributions' for years. I'm about to put a multiple issue tag on the article and try to address serious issues surrounding the content. In the meantime, if you're genuinely interested in improving the content, feel free to join in on the talk page under the relevant section.
Cheers! --Iryna Harpy (talk) 05:31, 25 September 2013 (UTC)
At comhem.se you linked to a chapter in a dissertation about the Newars of Nepal. I would love to know the name of the author. I can get to individual chapters of this, but not to an introduction, table of contents or title page. Frustrating! LADave (talk) 21:50, 17 November 2013 (UTC)
Wouldn't it be more correct to simply state what Bertram Fields and Sir Clements Markham did professionally? Fields is a lawyer and Markham was a geographer. This would remove any question of POV in adding "amatuer historians". Your thoughts?
However, it would be correct to add "amatuer historian" to Alison Weir. --Kansas Bear (talk) 03:46, 27 November 2013 (UTC)
The article states that: "Other instructors who are teaching Tenshin Shōden Katori Shintō-ryū internationally are:
Yukihiro Sugino, 9th Dan, son of the late Yoshio Sugino (杉野 嘉男 Sugino Yoshio, 12 December 1904–1998)at Yuishinkan Sugino Dojo (Kawasaki, Japan)."
Now it is a fact that Yoshio was indeed licensed by an earlier headmaster to teach Katori Shinto-Ryu. He also indeed did his keppan and was therefore an official student. His son , Yukihiro Sugino never did his keppan in the head dojo in narita and has never received a teaching license. He is therefore not an official student. This isn't documented because there is no documentation about who didn't do keppan. My question is: What is your take on this? — Preceding unsigned comment added by D21400 (talk • contribs) 10:08, 4 December 2013 (UTC)
