| Horse Eye Jack and CaradhrasAiguo | Interaction ban | Mutual interaction ban between Horse Eye Jack and CaradhrasAiguo, as spelled out at WP:IBAN. Note that this will be annoying to follow, because you're prolific editors in the same general topic area. You can edit articles the other person has edited, but you can't modify something they've added (WP:IBAN says you can't "undo" each other's edits, but consensus at this WP:AN discussion earlier this month is that this includes modifying each other's edits, which includes by it's very nature "undoing" a portion of the edit). If the other person's edit needs to be changed, someone else will notice and change it. Fixing things you think are wrong with the other's edits is now Someone Else's Problem. | ANI discussion | 2020-07-24 | Indefinite |
