August 2023

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war according to the reverts you have made on Ben Tapper. This means that you are repeatedly changing content back to how you think it should be although other editors disagree. Users are expected to collaborate with others, to avoid editing disruptively, and to try to reach a consensus, rather than repeatedly undoing other users' edits once it is known that there is a disagreement.

Points to note:

Edit warring is disruptive regardless of how many reverts you have made;
Do not edit war even if you believe you are right.

If you find yourself in an editing dispute, use the article's talk page to discuss controversial changes and work towards a version that represents consensus among editors. You can post a request for help at an appropriate noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, it may be appropriate to request temporary page protection. If you engage in an edit war, you may be blocked from editing. jp×g 22:31, 21 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@JPxG: Hello.

In response to your warning:

1. I have made only 3 edits to that page, so the basic condition for WP:3RR is not met.

2. As per WP:NOT3RR, my reverts were efforts to revert clear vandalism as the IP was repeatedly removing sourced information from the article.

First, the IP removed content that was critical of the article's subject, stating that it was false and not fact checked, even though it was clearly sourced.
After I performed the first revert, the IP then went on to remove more sourced content, including another paragraph critical of the subject.
After I reverted for the 2^nd time, the IP then again removed the same content, stating that the issue was that the subject should be addressed as a 'Doctor', even though he is a Chiropracter (not a medical doctor). But performing this edit, the IP again removed the criticism mentioned in the previous point. As they did not explain the reason for that removal, the edit summary was clearly misleading. So, I restored the said paragraph.
If the IP was only interested in what title the article subject should be addressed by, why did they remove two critical paragraphs without explanation, that too a total of 3 times? Why did they not provide the 'Doctor' explanation initially? It almost appeared as if the article subject himself was trying to remove criticism about himself (of course, that cannot be confirmed). Considering all this, I feel my edits were justified responses to clear vandalism & qualify for WP:NOT3RR.

3. I am also curious as to why this warning was issued almost 2.5 days after I last edited that page.
