 * Thank you for the welcome, I've been here before, but abandoned my account 6 years or so ago, with a "F_ this, I've got better ways to get carpal tunnel" attitude.... I gave up on vandalism patrolling at about the 55,000 edit mark, and since then have confined myself to IP editing, and then only the occasional minor edit where I see fit. If you wouldn't mind, it would be appreciated if you would take a look at the Illinois Terminal Railroad article, as things seem to be heading towards a WP:3RR situation that would best be avoided. I removed some "original research/personal opinion" and was reverted by User:Morphenniel and asked for a reference for my edits. As you are probably aware, you cannot prove a negative! Stating so, I undid his undo, left an edit summary stating what and why I did, only to be reverted again by the same editor, who stated I had not left an edit summary.... Checking his contributions, he seems to have reversions as his primary reason to edit here. The opinion of an uninvolved 3rd (or 4th, 5th, etc) party would be most welcome! 73.211.142.174 (talk) 04:03, 19 February 2018 (UTC)
 * If I were you, I'd respond to the message has left on the article talk page to begin with and go from there. It's time to go to the next step in the bold, revert, discuss cycle.
