"Prostitute" vs "full service sex worker".
Please read WP:BRD. When you have made a change such as this one and it is undone you should discuss the issue on the article's talk page rather than continuing to insert the change. Wikipedia uses Prostitute. It is not a case of which term sex trade workers prefer. We use the term that the majority of the reliable sources use. Meters (talk) 06:25, 4 June 2016 (UTC)

Wikipedia also uses the term sex worker, so clearly that is a reliable term for Wikipedia. Sex worker is not a confusing term. It is accurate and widely used among the very people who engage in this work. BlissFollower (talk) 06:29, 4 June 2016 (UTC)
 * Please keep the discussion in one place. You started a discussion on Talk:Sex work so let's keep the discussion there so other editors can see it and participate. Meters (talk) 06:32, 4 June 2016 (UTC)

Excuse me but YOU are the one who started a second conversation here...but sure, fine. BlissFollower (talk) 06:34, 4 June 2016 (UTC)
 * I gave you a polite notice as to why I had undone your edit again. Would you prefer that I had just left a warning template? Meters (talk) 06:37, 4 June 2016 (UTC)

How about you please don't take such a condescending tone. Thank you. Also, I am simply trying to remove a slur. This is not a major edit. This is not something that should require debate and waiting for consensus. This is not a contentious issue except that you seem intent on keeping the slur simply because you, personally, do not think the term sex worker, is 'reliable.'

 * What part of keep the discussion on the article talk page did you not understand? Meters (talk) 06:46, 4 June 2016 (UTC)

What part of "please don't take such a condescending tone" did you not understand? BlissFollower (talk) 06:52, 4 June 2016 (UTC)

June 2016
You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war. 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. Please be particularly aware that Wikipedia's policy on edit warring states: If you find yourself in an editing dispute, use the article's talk page to discuss controversial changes; 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.''This is concerning your edits of changing "prostitute" to "sex worker" over multiple articles, after being reverted multiple times by multiple editors on all these articles. Cease, until your discussions have come to a consensus. Alex&#124;The''&#124;Whovian ? 07:03, 4 June 2016 (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 already did stop undoing those edits once the concept of an edit war was explained to me. There was no need to do this warning. BlissFollower (talk) 07:11, 4 June 2016 (UTC)
 * Don't lie, you did it here afterwards. Alex&#124;The&#124;Whovian ? 07:13, 4 June 2016 (UTC)

That's not me edit warring though? Like, that editor changed it once and I changed it once back to explain why 'period accuracy' wasn't really a thing there. And if they changed it again I was going to start a talk section on that page. BlissFollower (talk) 07:17, 4 June 2016 (UTC)
 * It is. You're edit warring by doing the same edit over multiple articles, after being told to stop. And you were going to start a third discussion on the same topic? Don't. Alex&#124;The&#124;Whovian ? 07:18, 4 June 2016 (UTC)

It's different pages and different people. It's not as though if a consensus is determine on one page, that'll magically spread to the other pages I changed that people are disputing. Are you saying I'm meant to wait for one page to be sorted before I can talk about it on another page? BlissFollower (talk) 07:22, 4 June 2016 (UTC)
 * You've been reported on all of those pages by all of those editors. Yes, you need to gain consensus on the main article of the topic, before implementing the edits elsewhere. Localize the same discussion to one place, not three pages on the exact same topic. Alex&#124;The&#124;Whovian ? 07:23, 4 June 2016 (UTC)
 * The discussion is started, BlissFollower. I've given my views. The terms "full service sex work/worker" seems to be very rare compared to "prostitution/prostitute". Please contribute to the discussion if you think there is some reason WP:COMMONTERM should not be applied. Meters (talk) 07:34, 4 June 2016 (UTC)

If you could both stop with the condescending tone, that'd be great. BlissFollower (talk) 07:54, 4 June 2016 (UTC)
 * If you could stop with the edit warring and actually discuss this here and now, that'd be great. Alex&#124;The&#124;Whovian ? 07:55, 4 June 2016 (UTC)

I haven't reverted anything since it was explained to me what edit warring was. And then I did change that one thing because I didn't know that was also considered edit warring. And so now after you explained that, I've not changed anything. And I did also respond to the discussion in the sex work talk page. I was not anticipating this being contentious at all so I did not plan to have to engage in a big discussion about it. So please stop taking such a condescending tone with me. It does not foster productive discussion. BlissFollower (talk) 07:59, 4 June 2016 (UTC)
