Ah yes, edit warring. A classic part of Wikipedia, no matter how lame edit wars may be sometimes. However, some guy named Jimbo England or something had to make it unallowed on Wikipedia. But fret not, my friend! There are other ways to take your frustration out on someone who reverted your PERFECT edit!
Vandalism
[edit]Now, I know what you might be thinking. "Isn't that also not allowed?" Well, while it might be banned, you know what they say: Break our rules, please, so we can ban you Nothing on Wikipedia is set in stone. Also, nothing's illegal if you don't get caught! So go ahead, give that obscure article that nobody's talking about a sea of blue![1]
Legal threats
[edit]Remember the guy who fixed your typo on your freshly-published article before you could? Well, go ahead and sue him! Legal threats are never not allowed! What's Jimothy Ireland going to do to you? If he tries anything, sue him too! Also, if you go through with this alternative, you might want to call a certain lawyer.

Logging off of Wikipedia
