Welcome to Wikipedia. The recent edit you made to List of U.S. executive branch czars has been reverted, as it appears to have removed content from the page without explanation. Use the sandbox for testing; if you believe the edit was constructive, please ensure that you provide an informative edit summary. You may also wish to read the introduction to editing. Thank you.

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war. Note that the three-revert rule prohibits making more than three reversions on a single page within a 24 hour period. Additionally, users who perform several reversions in content disputes may be blocked for edit warring even if they do not technically violate the three-revert rule. When in dispute with another editor you should first try to discuss controversial changes to work towards wording and content that gains a consensus among editors. Should that prove unsuccessful, you are encouraged to seek dispute resolution, and in some cases it may be appropriate to request page protection. Please stop the disruption, otherwise you may be blocked from editing.

Bush czars
There were 35-6, one position was deleted during the numerous edits/vandalism that were done. I now find that I don't have support for #35, (a career guy who was held over from the Bush admin), being called czar during Bush's administration, so I am changing the count to #34 czar jobs,

10 & 11 and 32 & 33 were different jobs, different duties created under different authority, different departments, and they were actually called slightly different names at times by the media. The article is about jobs called czar; they are or were different jobs therefore I have counted them as 4 not 2.

Same for 21 & 22. Actually Ridge was called homeland czar as opposed to homeland security czar quite often while he was working as an advisor, (before the cabinet post was created).

We can debate this further if you like on the discussion page for the article. However, I have shown you my basis for the #34, and I will go into further detail based if necessary, based upon your response. Also, if I make any changes to the other edits you may have made, I will discuss it in the comments section and/or on the discussion page. Regards, W E Hill (talk) 17:23, 18 September 2009 (UTC)
