Avoiding an edit war
Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. You appear to be repeatedly reverting or undoing other editors' contributions. Although this may seem necessary to protect your preferred version of a page, on Wikipedia this is known as "edit warring" and is usually seen as obstructing the normal editing process, as it often creates animosity between editors. Instead of reverting, please discuss the situation with the editor(s) involved and try to reach a consensus on the talk page.

If editors continue to revert to their preferred version they are likely to lose their editing privileges on that page. This isn't done to punish an editor, but to prevent the disruption caused by edit warring. In particular, editors should be aware of the three-revert rule, which says that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Edit warring on Wikipedia is not acceptable in any amount, and violating the three-revert rule is very likely to result in loss of your editing privileges. Thank you. ~ ToBeFree (talk) 22:57, 20 October 2020 (UTC)

I have only just found this message. Please note that another editor was repeatedly undoing my edit, and not the other way around. I was not changing any content, but merely rearranging it so that it conformed to the standard Wikipedia layout, with a Personal Life section at the end. I gave up trying to fix the page after a while. Wjp62 (talk) 09:31, 6 January 2021 (UTC)
