You are the one who needs to get consensus. It is you who is trying, for some reason, to leave out a crucial piece of biographical information about his education from the article.
 * No. That's not how it works. Per WP:BRD, if there is no consensus to change the article, it remains as it was before someone tried to change it. The information you added may be important, but it was also uncited. Please see WP:VERIFY: any information you add to an article requires a proper citation. I also note that by adding that information you removed mention of the fact that Chalmers was raised in Australia, which was unconstructive. FreeKnowledgeCreator (talk) 01:01, 27 October 2016 (UTC)

The fact that he was raised in Australia is already obvious from the rest of the article.


 * It is still your responsibility to provide a citation for any content you add. Without one, that content will simply be removed. Incidentally, you should sign your comments by placing four tildes after them. The tilde is this sign: ~. FreeKnowledgeCreator (talk) 01:25, 27 October 2016 (UTC)

David Chalmers
Hello, Tom504. Regarding your edits on David Chalmers, please read WP:3RR. You should also review WP:BRD. If your edits do not get agreement, you should discuss them on an article's talk page and try to establish consensus for them, not simply repeat the edit.
