A pie for you!

Hello, Thank you for your contribution to presidential election. In my view, it will shape America and the world. Regarding the inforBox photo, I would like some feedback on when and how we can finialize the RfC. It started in April 2024, so it's been quite a while now, so I hope we can replace the photo.

Notice of Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents discussion

There is currently a discussion at Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents regarding an issue with which you may have been involved. The thread is Edit warring at List of wars by death toll. Thank you. Nythar (💬-🍀) 13:20, 28 October 2024 (UTC)

Edit war notice.

Your recent editing history at List of wars by death toll 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; read about 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.

Since when did reverting persistent vandalism become edit warring?

Me reverting vandalism done by Inherli on List of wars by death toll abides WP:IAR EarthDude (talk) 15:45, 28 October 2024 (UTC)

My advice is to reinstate the edit you just made to Talk:List of wars by death toll and extend it to invite the other party(s) to join in a discussion. Whatever you do, don't make any further edits on the article itself - leave them in place for others to decide. You initiating a discussion on the article's talk page is 100% the right thing to do now. 10mmsocket (talk) 15:51, 28 October 2024 (UTC)

Just an FYI, as an admin, no, your edits were not exempt to 3RR here. I'm not going to block you as you have been communicating and therefore a block doesn't seem necessary to prevent further disruption, but your behavior here was not in line with what is expected of editors. Elli (talk | contribs) 20:01, 28 October 2024 (UTC)

I listened and did not revert the article further. I understand I should've engaged in further attempts at discussions first before reverts. However, another user reverted the List of wars by death toll back to its stable version, and now Inherli is attacking them, reverting their edits on different articles the same old way, as in repeated unexplained reverts, without any attempts at discussions. This kind of retaliatory behavior gives grounds to believe that Inherli's reverts have been in bad faith. EarthDude (talk) 04:56, 29 October 2024 (UTC)

Introduction to contentious topics

You have recently edited a page related to post-1992 politics of the United States and closely related people, a topic designated as contentious. This is a brief introduction to contentious topics and does not imply that there are any issues with your editing.

A special set of rules applies to certain topic areas, which are referred to as contentious topics. These are specially designated topics that tend to attract more persistent disruptive editing than the rest of the project and have been designated as contentious topics by the Arbitration Committee. When editing a contentious topic, Wikipedia’s norms and policies are more strictly enforced, and Wikipedia administrators have an expanded level of powers and discretion in order to reduce disruption to the project.

Within contentious topics, editors should edit carefully and constructively, refrain from disrupting the encyclopedia, and:

• adhere to the purposes of Wikipedia;
• comply with all applicable policies and guidelines;
• follow editorial and behavioural best practices;
• comply with any page restrictions in force within the area of conflict; and
• refrain from gaming the system.

Editors are advised to err on the side of caution if unsure whether making a particular edit is consistent with these expectations. If you have any questions about contentious topics procedures, you may ask them at the arbitration clerks' noticeboard or you may learn more about this contentious topic here. You may also choose to note which contentious topics you know about by using the {{Ctopics/aware}} template.

Your recent editing history 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; read about how this is done. If discussions reach an impasse, you can then 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 being blocked from editing—especially as the page in question is currently under restrictions from the Arbitration Committee, if you violate the one-revert rule, which states that an editor must not perform more than one revert on a single page with active Arbitration Committee restrictions 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 one-revert rule often leads to a block, you can still be blocked for edit warring—even if you do not violate the one-revert rule—should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly. Your edit here was the second reversion of content on the article in a 24 hour period. Please self-revert this as it violates the active 1-RR restriction on the article or you may be blocked from editing. Raladic (talk) 07:28, 6 November 2024 (UTC)
