User talk:BBuyr

January 2019

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war according to the reverts you have made on List of ethnic minority politicians in the United Kingdom; that means that you are repeatedly changing content back to how you think it should be, when you have seen that other editors disagree. Users are expected to collaborate with others, to avoid editing disruptively, and to try to reach a consensus, rather than repeatedly undoing other users' edits once it is known that there is a disagreement.

Points to note:

1. Edit warring is disruptive regardless of how many reverts you have made;
2. Do not edit war even if you believe you are right.

If you find yourself in an editing dispute, use the article's talk page to discuss controversial changes and work towards a version that represents consensus among editors. You can post a request for help at an appropriate noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, it may be appropriate to request temporary page protection. If you engage in an edit war, you may be blocked from editing. Cordless Larry (talk) 08:43, 10 January 2019 (UTC)

To be clear, please stop persistently updating the sentence "Based on data from unofficial sources including Operation Black Vote, the House of Commons Library estimated that..." unless you have an updated House of Commons Library source. Cordless Larry (talk) 09:18, 10 January 2019 (UTC)

The sentence clearly says 'Based on UNOFFICIAL sources' therefore there are and will be mistakes. BBuyr (talk) 10:17, 10 January 2019 (UTC)

And how does that justify you updating the sentence to refer to a 2019 report by the House of Commons Library when no such report exists? Cordless Larry (talk) 10:20, 10 January 2019 (UTC)

And how do you justify using outdated information, from unofficial sources, in wikipedia. Especially when many peers have been left off the list or were not peers in 2017? It is now 2019. BBuyr (talk) 11:02, 10 January 2019 (UTC)

WIkipedia articles regularly include historical information. That's why its important that the sentence notes that the estimate is for 2017, not 2019. Cordless Larry (talk) 11:03, 10 January 2019 (UTC)
