By reverting my edit on the California State University, Fresno page, you're restoring outdated U.S. News & World Report rankings. You apparently take issue with my deletion of other outdated, obscure, repetitive or unsourced rankings: that's OK. Feel free to update them, with sources, and add them back if you believe they add value to the article. But please don't throw the baby out with the bathwater.

Since you seem to be a new editor, and your edit justification indicates you're not aware of Wikipedia policies concerning how to handle editorial disagreements and expected civility, here's what you should know:

Please do not attack other editors, as you did at California State University, Fresno. Comment on content, not on contributors. Personal attacks damage the community and deter users. Please stay cool and keep this in mind while editing. Thank you. Contributor321 (talk) 19:32, 19 July 2019 (UTC)

Your recent editing history at California State University, Fresno 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. See the bold, revert, discuss cycle for 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&mdash;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&mdash;even if you don't violate the three-revert rule&mdash;should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly.

 * By the way, if you self-revert your last edit on California State University, Fresno it doesn't count against you but actually helps. Contributor321 (talk) 20:57, 19 July 2019 (UTC)
