Hello Sbrockway and thank you for your thoughts towards editing the Wikipedia article Ceiling fan Your edits have been reverted because Edit 1 Uses vice versa in two story rooms the fact that a ceiling fan has a reduced effect when moved further away from the observers is a painfully obvious common knowledge and b is already covered in the Bases for comparison section subsection Perceived efficacy Edit 2 Uses explain to define term stratifies the sentence Air naturally stratifiesthat is warmer air rises to the ceiling while cooler air sinks to the floor needs to be included as text because not all browsers notably text based and slightly older ones can display that sort of pop up text and not all users notice it and that exact text is essential to an understanding of why ceiling fans have a winter mode It is not long winded or otherwise undeserved In the future please make sure to request and discuss all of your proposed edits on the Talk Ceiling fan talk page particularly if you are adding removing or altering statements of fact as opposed to say small grammar and spelling errors Thank you for your many contributions
