[edit] Edit warring

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war according to the reverts you have made on Combined oral contraceptive pill. Note that the three-revert rule prohibits making more than three reversions in a content dispute within a 24 hour period. Additionally, users who perform a large number of reversions in content disputes may be blocked for edit warring, even if they do not technically violate the three-revert rule. If you continue, you may be blocked from editing. Please do not repeatedly revert edits, but use the talk page to work towards wording and content that gains a consensus among editors.

The inclusion of Mr. Leonard in the article combined oral contraceptive pill was described by Lynn4 as "inconsequential digression citing unsubstantiated nonsense by a Washington Post obituary writer" and as "inconsequential digression citing unsubstantiated nonsense by a Cornell Chronicle life sciences writer". The primary sources of Leonard's published papers do not support the claim that he is viewed by secondary sources as important to the history of the Pill. I have been impressed by Lynn4's knowledge in this area in the past, and trust their judgment in this area. LyrlTalk C 14:18, 2 December 2007 (UTC)
