Hi Sheriff lacombe! I noticed that you have reverted to restore your preferred version of an article 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, 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. Thank you. Andre🚐 20:32, 7 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Your recent editing history 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.

Don Cheadle Photo

Jimmy Kimmel recently changed the photo for Don Cheadles Wiki page to one he took himself. Prior to Jimmy's change the original photo had been in place since 2011 and become somewhat famous.

I think the new photo does not present Don Cheadle correctly and should be changed to the original, which was taken at the United Nations and is much better. Sheriff lacombe (talk) 20:46, 7 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@Sheriff lacombe, could you post this on Talk:Don Cheadle Andre🚐 20:49, 7 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I recently fixed the photo again, I hope this change is taken to heart. I beleive that just because Jimmy Kimmel is famous and has a talk show that his misrepresentation of Don Cheadle should be allowed to be the permanent picture on Don Cheadles Wiki. This is a David vs. Goliath story Sheriff lacombe (talk) 20:46, 7 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Sheriff, instead of fixing it again, could you please engage in a discussion on the talk page of the article so we can discuss pros and cons of the various photos. Andre🚐 21:04, 7 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
