Please do not remove content or templates from pages on Wikipedia, as you did to Amanda Bynes, without giving a valid reason for the removal in the edit summary. Your content removal does not appear to be constructive and has been reverted. If you only meant to make a test edit, please use your sandbox for that. Thank you.

 * I did not remove anything. This edit was an addition, including wholly new information that the page didn’t presently have. If there was any issue with missing content or templates it was not intentional. M1lqu3t0457 (talk) 04:39, 22 March 2023 (UTC)
 * After inspection it appears myself and another user were editing our posts at the same time and as mine was posted second, overwrote the other user. Again, nothing was intentionally removed or retemplated and our posts were very similar. M1lqu3t0457 (talk) 04:50, 22 March 2023 (UTC)
 * No, Wikipedia's editing platform does not work that way. If another editor makes an edit at the exact same time as you, you or the other editor will get an "Edit conflict" message. No one's edit overrides another edit. If that was the case, Wikipedia would be in constant chaos from conflicting edits. So in this edit you removed content, not the other editor. And you removed a citation; your edit has no citation (read WP:V for details about the requirement to cite to a reliable source). Furthermore, edits occur within a second or two after you click "Publish changes". Your edit occurred at least two minutes after the previous edit, so there really was no edit conflict. Additionally, it is your responsibility to look at your edit to make sure it's what you wish for it to be. Alternatively, you should preview your edit before publishing it by clicking the preview button first. In any event, you made the edit and you are responsible for the outcome.

 * I’m not going to refute your conclusion. All I’m saying is that I typed my contribution and submitted it. That submission, as you stated, didn’t include a citation. I never selected a citation to remove, nor edited another contribution. When I typed my submission there was no other text on that page regarding the information I was contributing. I cont comment on what occurred beyond that, but I didn’t take a submission, write a similar post and remove a citation. That wouldn’t make any sense. M1lqu3t0457 (talk) 03:16, 10 April 2023 (UTC)
 * Yes, in your edit here, you removed a citation. It's quite obvious to anyone who looks at the edit. And here is the status of the article two minutes before your edit, clearly contradicting your claim that "there was no other text on that page regarding the information I was contributing". My strong suggestion is that you preview your edits before publishing them. Read H:PREVIEW. Any additional removal of content without a good reason explained in an edit summary will be considered vandalism. Sundayclose (talk) 03:42, 10 April 2023 (UTC)
 * Listen, I will do as you suggest and preview my edits. I’m just telling you what happened with regards to my post. You’re describing actions I did with intent. I did not select anyone’s text and remove it. I understand how it appears to you and I can’t speak to how it occurred to make it appear that way, but in terms of intentionality you’re describing actions that didn’t take place. I didn’t just randomly decide to become a Wikipedia pirate and start making random petty adjustments for no reason. M1lqu3t0457 (talk) 12:34, 10 April 2023 (UTC)
 * If you want to claim that you had no "intent" to remove content, don't state it in terms that clearly contradict the reality that I have linked for you. The statement "I didn't intend to remove content" is vastly different from "there was no other text on that page regarding the information I was contributing". The former describes what you perceive as "intent". The latter is objectively false. If I kill someone with a gun, I might claim "I didn't know the gun was loaded." But I can't claim "I didn't kill anyone with the gun". I don't know what your intent was, but I know the objective facts. Accidental removal of content from carelessness occurs very occasionally. My concern is that it doesn't happen repeatedly. Wikipedia has a system of graduated warning templates for inappropriate edits. The first one or two levels serve as a precaution. If an editor gets to the third or fourth level, sanctions are likely to occur. As most experienced editors do, I have tried to help you avoid sanctions. Sundayclose (talk) 14:02, 10 April 2023 (UTC)
 * If you shoot someone with a gun and they die, that’s different from firing a gun unaware it’s aimed at a person. If you think I’m going to this length just because I’m petty and want to argue, then so be it. I’ve said that I will pay closer attention to edits, but from now until the end of time I will maintain that I wasn’t aware I was removing content. Believe that or don’t believe that, it doesn’t matter. The intention to make a trivial change to someone’s post that said essentially the same thing for no discernible reason wasn’t there, and if you, Lord of Wikipedia Edits, decide I’m still just flagrantly making all this up for no discernible reason and arguing about it weeks later then peace be with you.
