Please read WP:LISTN and WP:LINKFARM
We do not maintain directories or list farms of everything that has ever existed. Praxidicae (talk) 17:54, 2 June 2020 (UTC)
 * Also consider this an only warning, accusing editors of vandalism without diffs is a personal attack. Removing linkfarms is not vandalism and is supported by established community consensus which I've already linked you to. Praxidicae (talk) 18:00, 2 June 2020 (UTC)
 * Also you've incorrectly asserted that I have nothing based in policy, however WP:LINKFARM isn't a suggestion. It is a policy. I suggest you self revert before this is sent to WP:ANEW. Thanks. Praxidicae (talk) 18:04, 2 June 2020 (UTC)

This is a very valuable comparison of software. It has been dynamically grown and is part of Category:Software comparisons. If you find any links not ok you can always remove the links but don't remove the whole list! Glühfinger (talk) 18:05, 2 June 2020 (UTC)
 * Wikipedia is not a directory. We have standards. Those standards aren't "everything that exists in x category." Self revert and discuss it on the talk page. I removed entries that have 0 independent sources and no article. Praxidicae (talk) 18:07, 2 June 2020 (UTC)

This is not a directory and not a list, it is a comparison of function and descriptions between well known software. A lot of this software you want to remove has a long history in the internet and definitely independent sources although the software might not have an article in the Wikipedia for various reasons. The not a directory does not apply to all the software. You cannot just remove everything you don't know. Glühfinger (talk) 18:15, 2 June 2020 (UTC)
 * Please read WP:NOR. You're refusal to engage on the talk page with policy and consensus based reasoning has been noted. Praxidicae (talk) 18:20, 2 June 2020 (UTC)
 * I did not refuse, you did. As I said none of your cited guidelines apply. The comparison of software is not a directory and not a list. You did not refute my point but ignored it. There is a lot of research as all the functions, properties and latest versions of the various software has been carefully collected and is now compared. Removing the comparison would constitute a big loss in knowledge. I would expect a comprehensive comparison of software in an encyclopedia. Not every relevant software must have its own Wikipedia page.

Your recent editing history at Comparison of file verification software 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. See the bold, revert, discuss cycle for 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 don't violate the three-revert rule&mdash;should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly.''I already started a conversation on the talk page and you've refused to engage. Read it.'' Praxidicae (talk) 17:58, 2 June 2020 (UTC)
