You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war according to the reverts you have made on 2018 Bank of America Roval 400. 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:

1. Edit warring is disruptive regardless of how many reverts you have made;
2. 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. Username established solely for edit warring, following multiple violations of WP:NOR by Special:Contributions/50.200.136.234.

Accept reason: Interesting. The blocked miscreant's brief editing career blossomed and withered approximately an hour after your creation of the 2012 Aaron's 312 article, which makes me wonder what kind of den of iniquity you're editing from. Be that as it may, since you have so far done nothing worse than a spot of edit-warring, I'll lift the auto-block. Favonian (talk) 18:46, 19 April 2022 (UTC)

I'm almost regretting my decision. 50.200.136.234 (talk · contribs · WHOIS) is your IP, as pointed out above, and that too had auto-block issues caused by the antics of Adrienisdumb (talk · contribs). What gives? Favonian (talk) 18:55, 19 April 2022 (UTC)

Suggestions

Hello there and thanks for your edits! One suggestion is watch out for what Wikipedia calls "point of view" (POV) words like "spectacular" or "incredible". Those are subjective words that work really well in descriptive writing or news articles, but not in an unbiased encyclopedia (see Words to watch). If those words are used in an article, it should be in the context of a cited quotation with proper context, like "it was called "an incredible catch" by White Sox announcers." On a related note, be careful with adding too many events at a particular ballpark. The article is about the ballpark itself, not everything that has ever happened there. Really, only exceptional occurrences like no-hitters, perfect games, and playoff wins should be mentioned, rather than the current situation which mentions everything even remotely noteworthy, much of which could either be done without or organized into a history section. Right now, the Guaranteed Rate Field article is quite long with multiple large sections of bulleted lists and tables, and really has a lot of what is sometimes called fancruft or excessive detail. A good article to look at as an example is PNC Park, as it is Featured class. That doesn't mean it's perfect, but it gives a pretty good idea of appropriate levels of detail and structure. If you have questions, feel free to ask. Happy editing! --JonRidinger (talk) 17:06, 12 May 2022 (UTC)
