You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war&#32; according to the reverts you have made on Reverse discrimination; that means that you are repeatedly changing content back to how you think it should be, when you have seen that 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. Sangdeboeuf (talk) 07:56, 23 February 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.

"Respond to attacks" does not equate to "rebuff criticisms". If you wanted to argue that the report is an unreliable source, that would at least lead to a productive discussion. Your edits appear to be blatant improper synthesis and POV-pushing. Please raise your objections about the source on the article talk page. Thank you. —Sangdeboeuf (talk) 08:18, 23 February 2021 (UTC)

@Sangdeboeuf: I'm not clear on how to 'talk' directly to you on this topic. Googling how a thread works on an edit is not turning up anything. For context on this edit:

> When a news story shares the arguments a lawyer makes on behalf of a client, they make it clear that lawyer is acting in the interest of the client. That does not mean the lawyer is lying or wrong. It does mean information, much like marketing, is picked carefully and positioned carefully to argue for the client. > In this case, that was, in his own words, the role Mr. Blumrosen was in. He was not in the position of preparing an a research document as a disinterested neutral party. This motivation should be clear to a reader of wikipedia Cowwaw (talk) 01:29, 6 March 2021 (UTC)
 * Blumrosen's "motivation" is your own original research and doesn't belong in the article; I've removed it. —Sangdeboeuf (talk) 22:06, 15 April 2021 (UTC)

-- Context on the research is there by the author's direct comment - please see the included quote. For some reason Sangdeboeuf seems to want to suppress visibility for readers on this. Any context on what that author wrote is repeatedly cut by Sangdeboeuf, and only by Sangdeboeuf, most recently by claiming is that it is original research. That is a straw-man, as inclusion of the entire paragraph at all, by that logic could be called 'original research.' Undid revision 1018024289 by Sangdeboeuf (talk)
 * No, you are misquoting the author. Kindly stop. Thank you. --Sangdeboeuf (talk) 22:35, 20 April 2021 (UTC)
 * See for further discussion. --Sangdeboeuf (talk) 23:33, 20 April 2021 (UTC)
 * The onus is on you to obtain consensus adding disputed material. Edit-warring is the wrong way to go about that. Please stop. Thank you. —Sangdeboeuf (talk) 15:09, 21 April 2021 (UTC)

Hello and welcome to Wikipedia. When you add content to talk pages and Wikipedia pages that have open discussion (but never when editing articles), please be sure to sign your posts. There are two ways to do this. Either: This will automatically insert a signature with your username or IP address and the time you posted the comment. This information is necessary to allow other editors to easily see who wrote what and when.
 * 1) Add four tildes  ( &#126;&#126;&#126;&#126; ) at the end of your comment, or
 * 2) With the cursor positioned at the end of your comment, click on the signature button OOUI_JS_signature_icon_LTR.svg located above the edit window.

''Please do not add your local time manually, since this will not match the page history time index, and may interfere with archiving. If you omit the timestamp by mistake, you can add it automatically by typing five tildes. Thank you.'' Sangdeboeuf (talk) 23:19, 7 May 2021 (UTC)
