Hello, I'm Binksternet. I noticed that you recently removed content from Alicia Garza 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 your 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.

Please do not add commentary, your own point of view, or your own personal analysis to Wikipedia articles, as you did to Alicia Garza. Doing so violates Wikipedia's neutral point of view policy and breaches the formal tone expected in an encyclopedia. Thank you. Binksternet (talk) 17:08, 17 May 2022 (UTC)


 * Contrary to your comment, I didn't add anything - including commentary, my POV or personal analysis - to the article. You asked me to describe the charges, which I did. Luvntruth (talk) 17:15, 17 May 2022 (UTC)

Your recent editing history at Alicia Garza 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 do not violate the three-revert rule&mdash;should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly.

 * The stuff you are trying to remove is very well referenced to multiple sources. Your removals are inappropriate, and if you remove one more time you could be blocked for violating WP:3RR. Binksternet (talk) 17:50, 17 May 2022 (UTC)
 * I'm well aware of the policies you've referenced and are violating.
 * Please cite the source(s) for the information you allege is well-referenced in multiple sources. Specifically, under Black Lives Matter, the source does not include the name of her younger brother. It states, "There had, of course, been shootings of young black men before. But this one had a particular resonance. Garza had a younger brother of a similar height and build to Martin. She felt it could just as easily have been him." You're adding information that you know, were told, or recall that is not well-referenced.
 * You are also consistently changing the content back to how you think it should read - when seeing that I disagree. You are well beyond the revert rule for this article and the insistence on including unvetted information is disturbing. You also seem to be conducting a blanket 'revert' instead of actually reviewing the changes. Under 'UC San Diego Commencement 2021' you reverted that edit as well. We have been in 2022 for 5 months; it is incorrect to have that information in future tense. Luvntruth (talk) 21:31, 17 May 2022 (UTC)
