editOn February 8, 2007, at 2:11 AM, user 67.186.125.152 overwrote my corrections from Weatherbase to the Chicago climate data with data apparently from the NOAA website. Not only is the URL he gave for this new data broken, but the data is difficult if not impossible to find on the NOAA website. Would an experienced Wikipedian consider this overwrite improper? If so, I will put my data back.
- Sure, if you have a reliable source change the data back. You could have asked on the article's talk page to get a second opinion, but I'm sure the change will be fine.--Commander Keane 00:00, 14 February 2007 (UTC)
- In the case of getting your changes reverted, you could have a content dispute. Wikipedia:Resolving disputes has ideas on how to solve the problem. The first step would be to engage in a discussion on the article's talk page about the data (and maybe invite people from WikiProject Chicago or WikiProject Climate to discuss the problem- if those projects exist). If you can get a consensus on the talk page, then any reversions would be hostile and a user ignoring consensus may be warned and blocked etc.--Commander Keane 02:09, 14 February 2007 (UTC)
