Bold, revert and discuss
Hi IP 125.212.177.146. Wikipedia encourages us as editors to be WP:BOLD and try to improve articles; however, if we are bold and then another editor comes along and WP:REVERTs the changes we made, then it's up to us to use the relevant article talk page to WP:DISCUSS things with the other editor or other editors and see if a WP:CONSENSUS can be established one way or another. The pretty much absolute worst thing to do is to simply keep trying to revert back to your preferred version regardless; not only will they likely lead to edit warring, but it will also likely lead to either (1) the article being protected or (2) you being WP:BLOCKed to by an administrator to prevent any further disruption. Moreover, switching to other IP address to try and make the same edits will not stop them from being undone, but might be seen as an attempt to inappropriately use multiple accounts. The best way forward here is for you to follow Wikipedia:Dispute resolution and use the article talk page to try and resolve any disagreements others may have with your proposed changes. -- Marchjuly (talk) 02:02, 26 October 2018 (UTC)
