Gruesome Foursome

Gruesome Foursome, you have complained in the edit history and on my user page that I am edit warring here. I reverted three separate formatting changes you made. I only reverted each change once. This is not edit warring. Let me quote from WP:EDITWAR:

"Wikipedia encourages editors to be bold. A potentially controversial change may be made to find out whether it is opposed. Another editor may revert it. This is known as the bold, revert, discuss (BRD) cycle. An edit war only arises if the situation develops into a series of back-and-forth reverts."

You have twice previously been blocked yourself for edit-warring over Mid Ulster by-election, 2013.[1] It appears you are reacting against that previous history. Might I suggest you take another look at WP:EDITWAR? Might I also suggest that you explain your suggested changes here with respect to Wikipedia policy: see WP:EP?

Gruesome Foursome has since been indefinitely blocked for incivility elsewhere. Bondegezou (talk) 14:12, 10 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
