You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war according to the reverts you have made on Bigfoot. This means that you are repeatedly changing content back to how you think it should be although other editors disagree. Users are expected to collaborate with others, to avoid editing disruptively, and to try to reach a consensus, rather than repeatedly undoing other users' edits once it is known that there is a disagreement.
Points to note:
- Edit warring is disruptive regardless of how many reverts you have made;
- Do not edit war even if you believe you are right.
If you find yourself in an editing dispute, use the article's talk page to discuss controversial changes and work towards a version that represents consensus among editors. You can post a request for help at an appropriate noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, it may be appropriate to request temporary page protection. If you engage in an edit war, you may be blocked from editing. Bon courage (talk) 17:32, 7 August 2024 (UTC)
- You are the one edit warring. The talk page is ongoing, I have only reverted twice, not three times. I changed one word and brought it to the talk page, which you immediately reverted. GeogSage (⚔Chat?⚔) 17:40, 7 August 2024 (UTC)
- That maths is as bad as the proposed English. Do it again and you'll be reported and likely blocked. Bon courage (talk) 17:48, 7 August 2024 (UTC)
- This is the third uncivil comment you have aimed at me. I have looked at the history of edits on the Bigfoot page, and only see three edits [1], [2], & [3] made by me on the bigfoot page at all since when I changed one word to discuss it on the talk page. I brought it to the talk page and you have been quite rude there, and in your edit summaries (such as saying you're edit is to "decrease cringe") and have insisted on your version while the talk was still ongoing. Your comment "That maths is as bad as the proposed English" is extremely uncivil. GeogSage (⚔Chat?⚔) 18:13, 7 August 2024 (UTC)
- Bingo: 3 reversion, so not 2. Plain description of error is not "uncivil". Bon courage (talk) 18:19, 7 August 2024 (UTC)
- I didn't consider my first edit to be a revert, as I was only changing one word back and not the entire edit you made as I agreed with most of it. Rule is MORE then three within 24 hours in my understanding. GeogSage (⚔Chat?⚔) 18:21, 7 August 2024 (UTC)
- Undoing the work of another editor is a revert. Bon courage (talk) 18:24, 7 August 2024 (UTC)
- and three is not more then three. GeogSage (⚔Chat?⚔) 18:32, 7 August 2024 (UTC)
- Indeed. Which is why you got a warning of what would happen should this continue. Then it would be a report to WP:AN3 (where it is requirement to show that a warning was issued to any reported user). Bon courage (talk) 18:36, 7 August 2024 (UTC)
