User talk:Lumberdev

A request for clarification
Hello, Lumberdev. You posted a request for page protection at Requests for page protection/Increase. In order to be able to assess whether a page protection would be justified, I need a little more information, In your request you wrote "User continuously undoes changes we've made". (Presumably meaning "continually".) Since your account has made only one edit to the article, you must be editing jointly with other editors, either using other accounts or not using any accounts. Can you list all other editors you have been collaborating with, and say what your connection to them is? If you can do that, I will be able to see the overall picture of the relevant editing better.

Hi. I've been editing this page in the past with the username "C2hlcg". This was a randomly generated username I used, but i decided to make a new account. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Lumberdev (talk • contribs) 23:21, 14 January 2022 (UTC)
 * Thanks for that answer. Unfortunately I have only just seen it. You can arrange for an editor to be automatically notified of the fact that you have posted a message for them as follows. At the start if the message type, and at the end of the message type ~. (In fact you should always put ~ at the end of any post you make to a talk page, and it will be automatically replaced with a signature, which will show who made the post, and will also provide links to your account, which may be helpful to others if they wish to contact you.)
 * Now that you have given me the name of your other account I can see that you have three times made the same edit, which has been reverted each time. On none of  those three occasions did you give any explanation of your reason for making the change. You asked for the article to be protected to prevent other editors from reverting your editing. However, it is just as true that your have been reverting other editors' editing as it is that they have reverted yours, and you have given no reason why your editing should be given priority over theirs. It is fundamental to the way that Wikipedia operates that anything you post may be edited, modified, or removed by other editors, and an article isn't going to be protected to protect your preferred version against editing by another editor, any more than it is going to be protected to protect their preferred version against editing by you. If you believe their are good reasons why your version is better, then explain those reasons to any other editors involved, and be prepared to discuss the issues involved, with a view to trying to reach agreement. Simply repeatedly reverting to your preferred version, known as "edit-warring", is not the right way to deal with disagreements, and editors who continue to edit-war can be blocked from editing by administrators, to prevent disruption. You can read the policy on edit-warring for further detail if you like, and advice on a better way to deal with disagreements is contained in a page known as Bold, Revert, Discuss.
