False title disagreement
editHi Caro7200, you have reverted my revert (this constitutes edit warring, btw) and subsequently encouraged me not to edit war. Do you not see the irony in this?! Revirvlkodlaku (talk) 15:21, 11 September 2022 (UTC)
- Hello--yes, and you have also edit warred. How would you like to proceed? Caro7200 (talk) 15:22, 11 September 2022 (UTC)
- I have absolutely not edit warred. I reverted your edit. That is not edit warring. Reverting a revert is edit warring. Do you not agree with this distinction? Revirvlkodlaku (talk) 15:43, 11 September 2022 (UTC)
- You changed something, I changed it, you changed it, I changed it--there have been four changes. Revirvlkodlaku, as you may have noted, this was one of the first articles I wrote when I returned to editing, and I appreciate your edits to it, of which I changed only one. According to your page, you are Czech, so I am happy to defer to you on this. But let's agree that this is simply a stylistic preference; neither is grammatically incorrect, and thousands (tens of thousands?) of articles use a "the" (Beatles albums, for one). Have a good day.

- Ever seen them? I saw the band on their 2000 tour--still have the shirt... ;) Caro7200 (talk) 15:58, 11 September 2022 (UTC)
- Caro7200, thanks for your willingness to compromise. I do think you need to brush your understanding of edit warring (see WP:Edit warring), as you are not defining it correctly. To reiterate, making an edit to a page is not edit warring; reverting another person's edit is not edit warring; reverting a revert, however is edit warring—in fact, that is the first step in an edit war. I'm merely laying this out for your information, not because I want to keep arguing.
- I did not know this was one of your first articles, though I did note that you created it. Thank you for doing that.
- I am half-Czech, but this has no bearing on the topic we are discussing, as we are debating a topic of English grammar, not Czech. It is absolutely a stylistic difference, although according to a prescriptivist view, your position is correct ;)
- I have never seen Už jsme doma. In fact, I had never heard of the band until I began editing their page. One of the things I do on Wikipedia is edit, expand, and translate articles on Czech topics, especially related to music :) Revirvlkodlaku (talk) 16:38, 11 September 2022 (UTC)
