Happy editing! Dorsetonian (talk)

July 2023

Hi Montparnassearchive! I noticed that you have reverted to restore your preferred version of Alice B. Toklas several times. The impulse to undo an edit you disagree with is understandable, but I wanted to make sure you're aware that the edit warring policy disallows repeated reversions even if they are justifiable.

All editors are expected to discuss content disputes on article talk pages to try to reach consensus. If you are unable to agree at Talk:Alice B. Toklas, please use one of the dispute resolution options to seek input from others. Using this approach instead of reverting can help you avoid getting drawn into an edit war. When an edit you made is reverted you should not simply restore it but discuss it on the article talk page - see WP:BRD. In this case, even more so I think - the text you added doesn't really make much sense and its relevance and/or importance is not clear. Perhaps you should explain what it is you think should be added and why so others can assist/advise?. Dorsetonian (talk) 22:27, 26 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Good evening Dorsetonian,

On the contrary, I have to thank you for the advice. As you may have gathered, the advice from previous edits has guided to a subsequently more succinct description. I have no dispute therefore. But I would like to know why you disagree with what has been written. Specifically what it is that you wish to have verified. If we start there then maybe we can get somewhere.

Best regards,
