Your recent editing history at David Butler (footballer, born 1945) 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.
In addition, you are required by the Wikimedia Foundation's terms of use to disclose your employer, client, and affiliation with respect to any contribution which forms all or part of work for which you receive, or expect to receive, compensation. See Wikipedia:Paid-contribution disclosure.
Hi Snowman, I appreciate your reply... My grandad is elderly and it's not so easy for him to edit his own page himself. Please can you tell me what I should do going forward, as I don't see how I can "discuss" the content I add to his wikepedia page with anyone else as it is unlikely they will know his life story.

You may be blocked from editing without further warning the next time you add unsourced or poorly sourced material to Wikipedia, as you did at David Butler (footballer, born 1945).
Hello, Brandongraft. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about on the page David Butler (footballer, born 1945), you may have a conflict of interest (COI). Editors with a conflict of interest may be unduly influenced by their connection to the topic. See the conflict of interest guideline and FAQ for organizations for more information. We ask that you:
There is currently a discussion at Wikipedia:Conflict of interest/Noticeboard regarding a possible conflict of interest incident with which you may be involved. Thank you. GiantSnowman 17:35, 31 March 2023 (UTC)
