Hello, I'm Longhair. I noticed that you recently removed content from 20th Century Fox Home Entertainment without adequately explaining why. In the future, it would be helpful to others if you described your changes to Wikipedia with an accurate edit summary. If this was a mistake, don't worry; the removed content has been restored. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thanks.

Please refrain from making unconstructive edits to Wikipedia, as you did at 20th Century Fox Home Entertainment. Your edits appear to constitute vandalism and have been reverted. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. Repeated vandalism may result in the loss of editing privileges. Thank you. David Brooks (talk) 02:54, 3 November 2019 (UTC)

Your recent editing history at 20th Century Fox Home Entertainment 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.

Wikipedia and cooperation
Let me try to explain the community reaction to your recent edits, in particular to 20th Century Fox Home Entertainment. For this and the other two articles you changed in quick succession, making such major edits to long-established articles should be preceded by opening a discussion on the related talk pages, giving your rationale in objective terms. Your edits, using this and another IP, changed thousands of characters but didn't even have a short explanatory comment, which is certain to look unusual. I understand from your now-deleted comments that you consider changes made by in June 2019 were damaging to the article. Again, the right way to handle this is with a respectful discussion, tagging the editor who you think went astray. As it happens, Spshu is a veteran editor with nearly 30,000 edits over 13 years, and, as indicated in the edit summaries. s/he discussed the ramifications of the Fox/Disney merger at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Disney (now archived).

I'll also say that using offensive language directed at other editors, even on your own talk page, is not the best way to make your case.

Similar comments apply to the other articles. Being respectful and acting collaboratively are the right way to go. You imply that you have interest and a specific point of view; both of these attributes are valuable and I hope you can make use of them soon. David Brooks (talk) 01:15, 4 November 2019 (UTC)
