Why revert my edit?
Have you clicked on the ref to a well-regarded book about this assassination. Did you read the related article?

Your Patton Eidts
First, I understand you frustration at the reverts of your edit. But if you're really interested in doing this edit, you need to discuss it on Talk:George S. Patton. It's a highly controversial version of events but even with a source there's going to be a lot of questions. Those questions can't be addressed well in the comments of your revisions. The talk page of an article is *exactly* the place to discuss major changes like this to an article.

You should really create a new section of the talk page to open the discussion. Realistically, that is the only way you will see any resolution to this issue.

Also, please be aware that despite Wilcox'es and O'Reilly's books, there's a huge amount of evidence debunking assassination claims. I'm not going to argue the matter here - that's what the talk page is for. Just be prepared for it.

Good luck!

Patton assassination theory
I suppose nobody needs to know about controversial information, even when it's widely discussed with no clear resolution and based on well-documented circumstantial evidence and first-hand testimony. I don't have time for this conversation... you seem to require a greater level of commitment than I harbor for this topic.

Cheers!


 * There is substantial first hand testimony and documentation arguing the other side of the issue as well. That means that a conversation on the merits of the evidence both ways is required in order to come to a conclusion.  See wp:consensus for background on this.


 * If you don't feel like going forward with this, that's your prerogative. I think your edits themselves were well crafted, though, and feel the only underlying issues are the evidence of each side (which I am not an expert on).  We all have real lives outside of Wikipedia, though, and you are the only one who can determine how best to spend your time.


 * In any case, I hope things go great for you whichever way you turn. --KNHaw (talk)  20:37, 22 June 2017 (UTC)
