Hello,
I did a contribution yesterday to the page Anthropocene and it was deleted right away.
The feedback I got was that I need to use talk page to justify such a major change before I make it.
Would that be the place to have that conversation? PoliticalEcologyBarcelona (talk) 14:22, 22 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Wikipedia's founding principle WP:BEBOLD encourages editors to just go ahead and make changes. But if it is a major change like the one you made, the other side of the coin is that your change may be reverted. We have a mechanism for that, called WP:Bold, revert, discuss (or WP:BRD for short). Editor A makes a bold edit, editor B considers it unfounded for whatever reason, then Editor A goes to the article talk page to explain their edit and seek consensus for it (or a consensus version of it) to be adopted into the article. You should have done that when your edit was reverted the first time, as someone should have explained to you. Making essentially the same edit again just gets another reversion. This can get very frustrating! So please start a new topic at talk:Anthropocene to justify the changes you want to make. --John Maynard Friedman (talk) 22:13, 21 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
