Welcome to Wikipedia, Webster121! I am Erik the Red 2 and have been editing Wikipedia for quite some time. I just wanted to say hi and welcome you to Wikipedia!

I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Oh yeah, I almost forgot, when you post on talk pages you should sign your name on talk pages using four tildes (~~~~); that should automatically produce your username and the date after your post. If you need help, check out Wikipedia:Questions, ask me on my talk page, or place {{helpme}} on your talk page and ask your question there. Again, welcome!

[edit] Vietnam war

While I appreciate your desire to help out with this article, the description of the outcome in the infobox has been in contention for a period of years. How to describe the outcome of the war from the American perspective has been an especially thorny issue. I do not believe your version is an improvement. That said, please read WP:3RR and understand that any further revisions on your part in the near future will fall afoul of this hard limit on reversions, since you have reverted to your preferred version 3 times in the past couple hours.

I question whether this edit really can stem from simple problem with the word "after". I have actually long recommended leaving significant parts of the infobox empty and would support a movement toward that on the talk page. However, I note that your edit did not in fact leave the "result" section empty. In any case I have reported you at Wikipedia:Administrators'_noticeboard/3RR for violating the three revert rule.
