Your recent editing history at Hispano-Suiza HS.404 shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war; that means that you are repeatedly changing content back to how you think it should be, when you have seen that other editors disagree. To resolve the content dispute, please do not revert or change the edits of others when you are reverted. Instead of reverting, please use the talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. The best practice at this stage is to discuss, not edit-war; read about how this is done. If discussions reach an impasse, you can then post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection.

Being involved in an edit war can result in you being blocked from editing—especially if you violate the three-revert rule, which states that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Undoing another editor's work—whether in whole or in part, whether involving the same or different material each time—counts as a revert. Also keep in mind that while violating the three-revert rule often leads to a block, you can still be blocked for edit warring—even if you do not violate the three-revert rule—should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly.

I see you didn't notice that I reverted the edit, then changed the edits for the supposed reason for the revert, the spelling of antiaircraft. I'm sorry you see that as edit warring, when it is only a good-faith effort to improve the page. I find multiple edits being reverted because an editing bully finds one small mistake to be a form of warring, too. What happened to "be bold" and "be friendly"? The tone of your message is neither. I understand malicious edits and vandalism, but this is neither. I hope BilCat and you have fun creating your bullying, obnoxious conflicts. You've certainly taken the fun out of editing for me. Just suppose, for a moment, that you spent the same amount of time editing, instead of just reverting and wasting someone else's time and effort; wouldn't overall progress result?2603:8080:B200:5CDE:E0BD:7086:BD83:B633 (talk) 15:51, 7 June 2023 (UTC)

When I first saw your reply, I genuinely felt bad that I might have goofed. So I went back and checked, being prepared to apologise for an error and guess what I find? You did revert war to change a correct for an incorrect spelling. There is always a record of what you've done on wikipedia, its easy to check. Then I saw the message you left for BilCat.

I don't feel bad anymore.

Bill and I are experienced editors only too happy to help people who genuinely want to help improve wikipedia. That is all. You have a pleasant day now, if you find that you want help and advice on editing I would be happy to provide it. WCM_email 16:38, 7 June 2023 (UTC)

@User:2603:8080:B200:5CDE:E0BD:7086:BD83:B633|2603:8080:B200:5CDE:E0BD:7086:BD83:B633: The law of holes: "When you find yourself in a hole, stop digging." It's the continual digging, the refusal to stop and find out what the problem is, and how to stop it, that frustrates me. Sometimes I don't handle it in the best way, and for that I do apologize. I don't have the time to go line by line to sort the bad edits from the good ones, as I'd be spending all of my time on that task. I don't revert most of your edits, just the really egregious ones. Overall, you're trying to force American grammar rules on other language variants, and per WP:ENGVAR, that's incorrect. It's just as wrong for a speaker of British English to do that in an American related topic, and I revert those too. BilCat (talk) 19:30, 7 June 2023 (UTC)
