Stop icon Your recent editing history at Tesla Takedown 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.

Hi Belbury. I'm trying very hard to avoid an edit war here so please bear with me. I added the material originally once [1] and then reverted it in twice [2] [3] meanwhile you reverted the content out 4 times, including against an editor who was not me.times [4] [5] [6] [7] . You are also adding in the word "other" which is not in the source and changes the entire meaning. Thank you for the warning but I believe you are in error here so we may be best to move it to the edit waring notice board and get others to comment.

Hi there. If you like, sure, I'll open a neutral report at WP:ANEW to get some input on whether either of us is edit warring. I think you'll probably get an automatic notification below when I do that. One moment. Belbury (talk) 09:53, 25 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
