Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. You appear to be repeatedly reverting or undoing other editors' contributions at Eric Adams (politician). 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.

Hello, I'm Philipnelson99. I wanted to let you know that I reverted one of your recent contributions—specifically this edit to Liberals for Life—because it did not appear constructive. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. If you have any questions, you can ask for assistance at the Help desk. Thanks. Philipnelson99 (talk) 20:36, 30 June 2021 (UTC)

@Philipnelson99: What about this edit seemed vandalistic to you? 142.161.113.242 (talk) 20:37, 30 June 2021 (UTC)

@142.161.113.242 my apologies, I accidentally reverted that, I've self-reverted my revert. Philipnelson99 (talk) 20:56, 30 June 2021 (UTC)

Hello, I'm DaxServer. I noticed that you recently removed content from Anti-Christian sentiment without adequately explaining why. In the future, it would be helpful to others if you described your changes to Wikipedia with an accurate edit summary. If this was a mistake, don't worry; the removed content has been restored. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. -- DaxServer (talk) 21:31, 5 July 2021 (UTC)

@DaxServer: Did I not provide an explanation for my reversion in my edit summary? 142.161.113.242 (talk) 21:31, 5 July 2021 (UTC)

Would you be able to propose a merger of the article's content into the Criticism of Christianity? That way other editors would also participate in the discussion. You could read more here: Wikipedia:Merging. If you still think the redirect is warranted, please go ahead and revert my revert. Thanks! -- DaxServer (talk) 21:37, 5 July 2021 (UTC)

@DaxServer: So you agree that an explanation was provided? And would it not be appropriate to apply WP:BRD here? 142.161.113.242 (talk) 21:38, 5 July 2021 (UTC)

Reflecting back, I think I should have chosen a different revert summary, as you have already given an edit summary. Still, I strongly suggest you to propose a merger. The target article Criticism of Christianity is a level-5 vital article and thus your proposal to merge will attract attention. I don't have much of an expertise into the subject and could not help you further. If you are wondering why I reverted if I don't have an expertise, replacing the whole content of an article and replacing it with a redirect would be seen a form of vandalism. If I haven't reverted it, someone else would have, I think it's just a matter of time. This time, it happened to be me. Nothing more. -- DaxServer (talk) 21:46, 5 July 2021 (UTC)

Archiving at Catholic League (U.S.)

I set up bot archiving for this talk page, after noticing your comment at Wikipedia:Edit filter/False positives/Reports. Hopefully this addresses the problem you were trying to fix.EdJohnston (talk) 16:16, 10 July 2021 (UTC)
