Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. You appear to be repeatedly reverting or undoing other editors' contributions at Pastina. Although this may seem necessary to protect your preferred version of a page, on Wikipedia this is known as "edit warring" and is usually seen as obstructing the normal editing process, as it often creates animosity between editors. Instead of reverting, please discuss the situation with the editor(s) involved and try to reach a consensus on the talk page.

If editors continue to revert to their preferred version they are likely to lose their editing privileges on that page. This isn't done to punish an editor, but to prevent the disruption caused by edit warring. In particular, editors should be aware of the three-revert rule, which says that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Edit warring on Wikipedia is not acceptable in any amount, and violating the three-revert rule is very likely to result in loss of your editing privileges. Thank you.

 * If this is a shared IP address, and you did not make the edits referred to above, consider creating an account for yourself or logging in with an existing account so that you can avoid further irrelevant notices.
 * Sure, that's great, but, is anybody of authority on Wikipedia actually concerned with presenting the truth? Please note, the editor with whom I am disagreeing made his own undocumented, non-cited edit to the article Pastina when he was unregistered, around eight years ago, and no one blinked an eye.  His assertion was as incorrect then as it is now, but, it remained because no one challenged it.  When I challenged it a few days ago, he was on it in an instant with a reversion.  The problem is, the editor in question (for whom English is a second language) is clearly confusing the word "Pastina", a specific Italian pasta type of a certain size and shape, with the word "pasta", as he further conflates his confusion with the word Pastina with the Turkish word for noodle, "Sehriya".  Did you notice that we appeared to reach a consensus on the talk page associated with Pastina?  Concurrent with the article edits, we did converse about the subject and he eventually appeared to understand what I was attempting to explain and agreed that a change should be made to reflect that Pastina and Sehriya are two different foods, with different shapes, sizes and histories and should not be linked together.  Yet, you reverted the page back to the erroneous information that he posted years ago without reference or citation, simply because you appeared to only be concerned with putting out the fire of an edit war.  Please note the citation that now appears on the page is one that he dug up only when I made the challenge a couple of days ago. It fails because it does not establish his (former) contention that Pastina is the same thing as Sehriya, Couscous and Bulgur, which they are not.  This is a real mess that needs fixed. Please advise. 71.112.248.72 (talk) 10:29, 26 November 2020 (UTC)
