Accusation of edit warring

Your recent editing history at Second impeachment of Donald Trump 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. See the bold, revert, discuss cycle 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 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.

@Vincentvikram: Misplaced Pages has a clear policy that unsourced material must be removed from biographies of living persons. If you want to suggest getting rid of Misplaced Pages's sourcing, BLP, or neutrality policies my talk page is not the right place to do so. AnonQuixote (talk) 06:13, 16 January 2021 (UTC)

AnonQuixote that is a fast moving page and I dont have the time to go back and check but I did see you revert at least two things multiple times. However, I find your question to me rather a straw man argument. I would suggest looking up logical fallacies. Best! Vikram Vincent 06:20, 16 January 2021 (UTC)

If you don't even know what's going on why are you even harassing me? AnonQuixote (talk) 06:22, 16 January 2021 (UTC)

LOL for the "harassment" phrase. I am aware of what is going on and can see how fast the edits are moving. I just have a day and night job which is outside Misplaced Pages and don't have the time right now to provide diff's. However, if you prefer, I can look it up when I can free myself. Have a great day! Vikram Vincent 06:55, 16 January 2021 (UTC)

AnonQuixote, also want to note that any controversial page that deals with American Politics after 1932 is subject to 1RR, not 3RR, and discretionary sanctions are available to any admin who feels they are merited. So, edit warring is a really bad idea to do on those pages. ~Gwennie🐈｟💬 📋｠ 07:28, 16 January 2021 (UTC)

My belief is that removing unsourced, potentially libelous material is a justified exception to revert limits per WP:3RRBLP. AnonQuixote (talk) 07:39, 16 January 2021 (UTC)

AnonQuixote, that is an exemption, but there is clearly no libel nor unsourced content here. Agree with Gwennie-nyan, you should be mindful of DS. I gave you the alert earlier, so you now meet the awareness criteria necessary for sanctions to be imposed. ― Tartan357  07:47, 16 January 2021 (UTC)

Deleting others' talk page comments at Misplaced Pages:Main Page/Errors

I was mistaken. Misplaced Pages:Main Page/Errors is not a talk page, so it is a rare instance where removing sections after discussion has concluded is acceptable. ― Tartan357  07:49, 16 January 2021 (UTC)

@Tartan357: Thanks for the update. Cheers, AnonQuixote (talk) 08:15, 16 January 2021 (UTC)
