You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war. 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. ElKevbo (talk) 17:01, 24 November 2018 (UTC)
I've also begun an discussion in the article's Talk page; I expect you to participate. ElKevbo (talk) 17:19, 24 November 2018 (UTC)
Thanks - I've added to the talk page and updated references. Wikipedia is sort of kludgey in supporting inline comments on the specifics. Perhaps an invite to talk before removing an entire section would work a bit better, especially when the section is well established?Victor De Scribe (talk) 17:43, 24 November 2018 (UTC)
Replying to talk page discussions
editPlease don't intersperse your own edits in the middle of what other editors have written in Talk pages; it's extremely confusing and unsustainable as other editors participate and the conversation develops. Just reply at the bottom of what someone has written, indenting a little bit to indicate that you're replying to the discussion above.
Please refactor your replies so we can all reply without it becoming a complete mess. Thanks!
(And, seriously - cut out the bullshit "you must work for the university or President Trump!" accusations. You're not winning friends and you won't win your argument if you insist on insulting editors by making ridiculous accusations.)
