February 2021
You currently appear to be 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. Users are expected to collaborate with others, to avoid editing disruptively, and to try to reach a consensus, rather than repeatedly undoing other users' edits once it is known that there is a disagreement.

Points to note: If you find yourself in an editing dispute, use the article's talk page to discuss controversial changes and work towards a version that represents consensus among editors. You can post a request for help at an appropriate noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, it may be appropriate to request temporary page protection. If you engage in an edit war, you may be blocked from editing. -- VViking Talk Edits 14:49, 4 February 2021 (UTC)
 * 1) Edit warring is disruptive regardless of how many reverts you have made;
 * 2) Do not edit war even if you believe you are right.

@Viewmont Viking, you are the one who started the "edit war" - you deleted my carefully written contribution rather than editing.

Please do not remove content or templates from pages on Wikipedia, as you did to Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Edit warring, 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. — Czello 14:42, 5 February 2021 (UTC)

Warnings and Discretionary Sanctions Notifications
You are engaging in disruptive editing on Michael Barr (Treasury official) as reported here. This effort appears to be coordinated, so I have full-protected the page. Cease edit warring or you may be blocked.

Below is a notification about discretionary sanctions related to biographies of living people and American Politics. Please read these.

I disagree that any of this was "disruptive editing." VViking was the one who kept deleting my good-faith edits and refused to make any edits to my content other than just wholesale deletions. This conduct by "editors" and internet trolls hiding behind anonymous usernames is exactly why Wikipedia cannot be relied upon for objective content. People have tried to smear Michael by putting in falsehoods about his record, and I find it offensive. Nicksmyth3 (talk) 14:35, 5 February 2021 (UTC)nicksmyth3
 * Again, usernames != trolling just because they do not reveal a name. Negative content that is well-sourced and WP:DUE belongs in biographies. We do not write promo pieces or hagiographies. If something is false and that falseness can be substantiated, then of course it should be removed. But oftentimes if a politician denies something but multiple reliable sources report it as true, we go with the sources.  Eve rgr een Fir  (talk) 07:13, 6 February 2021 (UTC)
 * Might I also suggest reading WP:COI as it appears you have a more personal connection to the subject  Eve rgr een Fir  (talk) 07:14, 6 February 2021 (UTC)
