Your repeated undiscussed rewrite of Adel (name)

So you're both an "attorney" and an "expert historian", impressive, but totally irrelevant on Wikipedia, since we go by whatever expertise editors show here, not by whatever expertise editors claim they have. Because experience (I have edited WP since 2006) has taught us that the greater the claims are the less truth there is to them. Being reverted, as you have been, means that you (per Wikipedia's "bold, revert, discuss" cycle) must discuss your changes on the talk page of the article, and give other editors a chance to weigh in, before making the edit again. Especially since you're not only making a major rewrite of the article, but also changing the scope of it. And you claiming to be both a lawyer (I suggest you read WP:NLT before mentioning the word "lawyer/attorney" here again, unless it's on an article about a subject related to laws...) and an expert historian does not change that. - Tom | Thomas.W ^talk 21:11, 27 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

You're the one who wants to make the changes, so per WP:BRD it's up to YOU to get support for your rewrite, not up to me to get support for restoring it. And yes, you are changing the scope of the article since you're changing it from an article about a male name to an article about a gender-neutral name, and including female variants of the name in it (which isn't needed since there's a separate article about female derivatives of the name). - Tom | Thomas.W ^talk 08:10, 29 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

September 2018

Your recent editing history at Adelson 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.
