Warning: Edit Warring
[edit]
Your recent editing history shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war. 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. See BRD for 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 your 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 don't violate the three-revert rule—should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly. When you are bold and add new info to a page, and this addition is then reverted, the onus is on you to take it to the talk page; do not read the info without consensus.
I appreciate your interest in editing Wikipedia, but when it comes to topics that have already been discussed at length by other edits, or topics where there is clear disagreement, those need to be resolved on the Talk page, rather than through edits on the main article itself. We should not argue back-and-forth by reverting each other edits. I am more than happy to discuss the changes you would like to make on the Talk page. I will go leave another comment there now.

Just a note
[edit]Just a friendly note that linking a real-life identity to an account, even if accidentally, is not allowed on Wikipedia unless the user has declared that connection somewhere on Wikipedia already (for example, on their userpage). Please keep this in mind during discussions with other users going forward. Cheers, Primefac (talk) 20:39, 22 January 2020 (UTC)
