Hello, I'm LauritzT. I noticed that you recently removed content from Land speed racing without adequately explaining why. In the future, it would be helpful to others if you described your changes to Wikipedia with an accurate edit summary. If this was a mistake, don't worry; the removed content has been restored. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thanks. – Lauritz Thomsen (talk) 15:34, 16 June 2019 (UTC)

Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. You appear to be repeatedly reverting or undoing other editors' contributions at Land speed racing‎. Although this may seem necessary to protect your preferred version of a page, on Wikipedia this is known as "edit warring" and is usually seen as obstructing the normal editing process, as it often creates animosity between editors. Instead of reverting, please discuss the situation with the editor(s) involved and try to reach a consensus on the talk page.

If editors continue to revert to their preferred version they are likely to be blocked from editing Wikipedia. This isn't done to punish an editor, but to prevent the disruption caused by edit warring. In particular, editors should be aware of the three-revert rule, which says that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Edit warring on Wikipedia is not acceptable in any amount, and violating the three-revert rule is very likely to lead to a block. Thank you. — Lauritz Thomsen (talk) 22:21, 17 June 2019 (UTC)

Important note for others (admins in particular): One of the reverts the user made were after the user explained the changes to me. That revert should not be counted when considering the edit war. — Lauritz Thomsen (talk) 22:29, 17 June 2019 (UTC)

Donald Campbell
Twice over the last 5 years I have reinstated the subject name to the LSR list due to him being removed. On the first occasion the moderators agreed with my position and may have blocked the user involved. However it has happened again possibly initiated by another user which I have again undone. This involves Craig Breedlove who set a faster, but unofficial time due to using thrust power and 3 wheels. Hence Campbell held the official record up to the point that the FIA decided to allow thrust powered cars to be recognised. If required I can link in the actual official FIA document showing Campbell listed as an absolute record holder. Whoever wrote the intro for the LSR page seems to have gone to some effort to show that records should be ratified by the AIACR/FIA so shouldn't we apply this discipline to the record list or should it be the 'fastest man on earth' list ie a free for all?
