User talk:Su00la

Hi Su00la! I noticed that you have reverted to restore your preferred version of Mick Kenney several times. The impulse to undo an edit you disagree with is understandable, but I wanted to make sure you're aware that the edit warring policy disallows repeated reversions even if they are justifiable.

All editors are expected to discuss content disputes on article talk pages to try to reach consensus. If you are unable to agree&#32;at, please use one of the dispute resolution options to seek input from others. Using this approach instead of reverting can help you avoid getting drawn into an edit war. Thank you. Wikipedialuva (talk) 10:51, 21 June 2023 (UTC)


 * Fully aware, as far as I can tell deleting the content falls under vandalism since there is no real reason behind it, not to mention it seems to be paired with edits at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Murder_in_My_Mind_(song) attempting to take credit for creating the song. If it's not vandalism and I'm mistaken I'll simply stop reverting. Su00la (talk) 11:38, 21 June 2023 (UTC)
 * Hi Su00la! I was actually perparing to remove my soft edit warring notice I placed on here earlier before you responded, as it appears you were restoring unexplained content removal that was being removed by an IP vandal. Most of the time, users are prohibited from reverting content more than three times in a 24-hour period. This rule is known as the "3 Revert Rule" or 3RR. There are exceptions to the 3RR, one of which is "Reverting obvious vandalism—edits that any well-intentioned user would agree constitute vandalism, such as page blanking and adding offensive language." It appears in your case, this is what you were doing. In the future, it is helpful to explain why you are reverting another user's edits (it could be as simple as adding "reverting vandalism" or "reverting unexplained content removal" to your edit summaries so that other editors realize that you are not just edit warring. If you are interested in protecting Wikipedia from vandalism, you may also want to check out the "Counter-Vandalism Unit" on Wikipedia, which has resources and information for editors who revert vandalism.

 * Ah okay, I remembered to write it the first time but seemingly forgot in the subsquent reverts, will remember to mark reverts better. Su00la (talk) 11:45, 21 June 2023 (UTC)
 * I really should have looked more at the edit history before sending a warning to you, and for that, I apologize. Wikipedia relies on volunteers like you who work hard to spot and revert vandalism, and it's important that more experienced editors like myself do not bite the newcomers. If you are interested in reverting vandalism, I would check out the vandalism page Vandalism. In general, it is also good to warn users on their page when you report vandalism, and there are templates on the page you can use. There are also tools (like RedWarn) you can use that can revert Vandalism, notate it in the edit summary, and warn the user in just 2 clicks. If you ever need help with vandalism, please do not hesitate to message me or stop by the Teahouse for advice. Thanks again! Wikipedialuva (talk) 12:00, 21 June 2023 (UTC)
