[edit]

You currently appear to be 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. 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. Grayfell (talk) 00:18, 28 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I posted to the talk page hours ago with no response. I revert the change to correct the page and get a warning. If you expect the talk page used, then use the talk page. Mallardmac (talk) 00:22, 28 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, thanks for posting there. I've responded on the article's talk. You will need to show patience. Edit warring, and especially violating the three revert rule, will lead to a block, so the appropriate course of action is to build consensus on the article's talk page.
