Edit war
Hello, Will D. Matthews, and welcome to Wikipedia. Your recent edits at English passive voice suggest that you are in danger of entering an edit war. You made changes to the article, which another editor reversed. That is accepted practice among Wikipedia editors, and is described at BOLD, revert, discuss cycle.

After someone reverts or undoes edits you have made, the next step is to discuss the article on a talk page, in this case Talk:English passive voice. There, both of you as well as other editors can come to consensus about proper article content.

Be aware that if you revert the same page three times within 24 hours, you can be blocked from editing. This is known as the "three-revert rule", and is rather strictly enforced.

Best wishes and happy editing, Cnilep (talk) 06:11, 12 January 2017 (UTC)
