Moved to mainspace by Muboshgu (talk). Self-nominated at 23:05, 9 November 2020 (UTC).[reply]

Article moved into article space on 4 November - not the date on the nomination but still within the time limit. Long enough, adequate sourcing, neutral tone. ALT0 is interesting and backed up by the sources in the article with an inline citation. ALT1 is a little less interesting and the source is behind a paywall, but I'll assume good faith that it's in there. Image is correctly licensed and appears in the article. Awaiting QPQ review.

BigDom, I've provided the QPQ. And I'm open to any rewrites that make it more interesting. – Muboshgu (talk) 05:46, 18 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Muboshgu Good to go in that case. Both ALTs are fine as they are, just the first one is a little more interesting to me personally is all. BigDom (talk) 22:32, 18 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Edit warring

OleLooseygoosey, please discuss your changes here, instead of edit warring. Courtesy ping: Greyjoy. --Ashley yoursmile! 11:22, 28 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Explain how I have engaged in edit warring OleLooseygoosey (talk) 11:27, 28 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Explain how editing two elements of a page equals “edit warring”. It seems as though only half of the parties seem this as “edit warring” OleLooseygoosey (talk) 11:31, 28 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

OleLooseygoosey, you are changing the content back to how your preferred version, even when other editors are reverting it back. Reverting more than three times on a single page can get you blocked from editing, which is why you were warned on your talk page about it. Whatever changes you want to make should be discussed under this thread that I've opened. Other editors who edit this article shall also participate and reach a consensus if the content is to be removed from the page. --Ashley yoursmile! 11:34, 28 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

No other editors have reverted it. I made my edits and was flagged instantly. Within seconds. Please explain OleLooseygoosey (talk) 11:36, 28 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Can you please send the consensus that was reached regarding the information prior to my proposed edits. I would like to view this so called consensus. OleLooseygoosey (talk) 11:37, 28 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
