Hello, I'm Discospinster. I noticed that in this edit to Chuck Smith (pastor), you removed content without adequately explaining why. In the future, it would be helpful to others if you described your changes to Wikipedia with an edit summary. If this was a mistake, don't worry, the removed content has been restored. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. ... disco spinster   talk  23:39, 16 February 2023 (UTC)


 * Yes, I did explain the changes in the Edit Summary. FlorineLane (talk) 23:40, 16 February 2023 (UTC)
 * The passage under Controversy in the second paragraph is a cherry-picked one out of hundreds of positions he holds as a church pastor, and seems like a personal insertion. It does not fit under the Controversy category. In all fairness, one would have to put every known criticism under the Controversy heading if that were the purpose of Controversy.

 * There was nothing in the edit summary except that you reverted a previous edit. Not every criticism should be added, but this one attracted newspaper articles so it's appropriate to add. ... disco spinster   talk  00:28, 17 February 2023 (UTC)

Your recent editing history shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war; that means that you are repeatedly changing content back to how you think it should be, when you have seen that other editors disagree. To resolve the content dispute, please do not revert or change the edits of others when you are reverted. Instead of reverting, please use the talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. The best practice at this stage is to discuss, not edit-war; read about how this is done. If discussions reach an impasse, you can then post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection.

Being involved in an edit war can result in you being blocked from editing&mdash;especially if you violate the three-revert rule, which states that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Undoing another editor's work—whether in whole or in part, whether involving the same or different material each time—counts as a revert. Also keep in mind that while violating the three-revert rule often leads to a block, you can still be blocked for edit warring&mdash;even if you do not violate the three-revert rule&mdash;should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly.-- Ponyo bons mots 23:39, 16 February 2023 (UTC)
