Dan Coats
You are involved in a mini-edit war at Dan Coats. I hope it doesn't become a major edit war, so let me give you some well-intentioned advice. You are at a disadvantage because you are a relatively new editor and a single-purpose user. If there is an edit war, admins are more likely to come down on the other side. So my first piece of advice is to start a discussion on Talk:Dan Coats. Explain why you think your wording is an improvement, ask others why they disagree, try to persuade them to agree with you. If you keep editing back and forth without attempting a discussion it's likely to turn out badly. Second piece of advice: If you have a conflict of interest - e.g. you are on Coats' staff or even if you are just a volunteer for him, then disclose that fact on your user page, User:Crage123. Likewise if you don't have a COI then say so on your user page, to preempt such an attack on you. I wish you well and thanks for contributing. Sbowers3 (talk) 14:16, 6 April 2010 (UTC)
