Hello, I'm Ram1055. I noticed that you recently removed content from Douglas Alexander without adequately explaining why. In the future, it would be helpful to others if you described your changes to Wikipedia with an accurate edit summary. If this was a mistake, don't worry; the removed content has been restored. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. ~RAM (talk) 10:57, 18 January 2021 (UTC)

If this is a shared IP address, and you did not make the edits referred to above, consider creating an account for yourself or logging in with an existing account so that you can avoid further irrelevant notices.

Please do not remove content or templates from pages on Wikipedia, as you did to Douglas Alexander, without giving a valid reason for the removal in the edit summary. Your content removal does not appear to be constructive and has been reverted. If you only meant to make a test edit, please use the sandbox for that. Please add the fact that these allegations we false, with a citation, rather than removing. Jonathan Deamer (talk) 13:41, 22 January 2021 (UTC)

Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. You appear to be repeatedly reverting or undoing other editors' contributions. Although this may seem necessary to protect your preferred version of a page, on Wikipedia this is known as "edit warring" and is usually seen as obstructing the normal editing process, as it often creates animosity between editors. Instead of reverting, please discuss the situation with the editor(s) involved and try to reach a consensus on the talk page.

If editors continue to revert to their preferred version they are likely to lose their editing privileges on that page. This isn't done to punish an editor, but to prevent the disruption caused by edit warring. In particular, editors should be aware of the three-revert rule, which says that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Edit warring on Wikipedia is not acceptable in any amount, and violating the three-revert rule is very likely to result in loss of your editing privileges.

Thank you for your message - I have actually responded to another editor on their talk page in regards to the good faith deletion I made to the page to explain why I had done so and the editor did not reply. I have repeatedly provided valid reasons for the deletion of content which is damaging and proven to be false including providing links to external media sources in the edit summary. It seems that other editors are free to just ignore valid and appropriate deletions and revert the changes made by others without explanation. I do not want to nor intend to engage in an editing war so will instead escalate this with the Wikipedia team and apply for page protection if necessary. Continuing to post information which has been proven false is, as far as I was aware, against Wikipedia rules so I am unsure why I am at risk from losing my editing privileges when other contributors are free to continuously post false information.
