Please do not add or change content, as you did at Rust Belt, without citing a reliable source. Please review the guidelines at Citing sources and take this opportunity to add references to the article. Thank you. Dr.  K.  05:16, 19 May 2020 (UTC)

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war&#32; according to the reverts you have made on Rust Belt; 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. Dr.   K.  05:18, 19 May 2020 (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.

In previous edits I gave my rationale for the change. However this rationale was never addressed by future editors who changed the text back. It would be absurd to think that the word "rust" has a positive connotation Smwesp (talk) 05:30, 19 May 2020 (UTC)
