User talk:Aelfgifu1

April 2021
You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war&#32; according to the reverts you have made on Jon Meacham. This means that you are repeatedly changing content back to how you think it should be although other editors disagree. Users are expected to collaborate with others, to avoid editing disruptively, and to try to reach a consensus, rather than repeatedly undoing other users' edits once it is known that there is a disagreement.

Points to note: If you find yourself in an editing dispute, use the article's talk page to discuss controversial changes and work towards a version that represents consensus among editors. You can post a request for help at an appropriate noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, it may be appropriate to request temporary page protection. If you engage in an edit war, you may be blocked from editing. TJRC (talk) 18:19, 23 April 2021 (UTC)
 * 1) Edit warring is disruptive regardless of how many reverts you have made;
 * 2) Do not edit war even if you believe you are right.


 * I'm not engaged in an edit war! I'm engaged in a correction! This is why I tell my students that Wikipedia isn't a valid source. I will for sure be showing my classes these edits to show that Wikipedia doesn't care about accuracy.


 * Neither Meacham or Chernow have any training as historians and they do not do any kind of historical research. Yet Wikipedia insists that they are something that they are not. This hurts the credibility of Wikipedia and if you don't like that, that's your problem. However, Wikipedia DOES need to stop advertising itself as valid and accurate! — Preceding unsigned comment added by Aelfgifu1 (talk • contribs)


 * You need to understand, in the warning above: Do not edit war even if you believe you are right.
 * Begin discussing your position at Talk:Jon Meacham, where your edits to both the Meacham and Chernow articles are being discussed and make your case.
 * Do not reinstate your edits unless and until a consensus is made that they are appropriate. At the moment only one editor -- you -- has your position. Three other editors have reverted you.
 * Stop; or you are on your way to being blocked. TJRC (talk) 18:57, 23 April 2021 (UTC)

Your rudeness is unacceptable and you need to rethink your tone. You also seem to think that a basic fact is open to discussion and that it is my responsibility to prove that someone is NOT something instead of YOUR responsibility to show that they are. Unless you can demonstrate that Meacham and Chernow have any kind of historical training or background, then YOU need to stop.

You also need to recall that your so-called "edit war" was started by you. If you had just allowed the correction of the mistake on their pages, then there would be no issue. YOU need to stop this "war" that you have started. Until you can provide evidence that they have studied history in any way or that they have engaged in historical research (and not biography, which is a field of English), you are simply WRONG. It's not a case that I merely think I am right, but I actually AM right and until you can prove otherwise, you're the one that needs to stop.

Again, this issue is entirely of your own creation. STOP. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Aelfgifu1 (talk • contribs)

 * You are using this account almost exclusively to edit war against multiple editors and have been blocked from these pages as a result. You do, however, have access to the corresponding article talk pages, which is where you need to discuss your concerns and get consensus for your disputed changes. There are already discussions open on both article talk pages that you can join.-- Jezebel's Ponyo bons mots 19:18, 23 April 2021 (UTC)
