March 2018 edit

 

Your recent editing history at Brookline High School shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war. To resolve the content dispute, please do not revert or change the edits of others when you are reverted. Instead of reverting, please use the talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. The best practice at this stage is to discuss, not edit-war. See BRD for how this is done. If discussions reach an impasse, you can then post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection.

Being involved in an edit war can result in your being blocked from editing—especially if you violate the three-revert rule, which states that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Undoing another editor's work—whether in whole or in part, whether involving the same or different material each time—counts as a revert. Also keep in mind that while violating the three-revert rule often leads to a block, you can still be blocked for edit warring—even if you don't violate the three-revert rule—should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly.

@John from Idegon:, that seems like quite the escalation. I'm not going to edit-war with you, but it's quite irresponsible to mass-revert without regard. You appear to disagree with a few small things, but rather than addressing those, you're reverting to an old version that undoes the rest of the quality edits. See, for example, the removal of statistics from the 2017–2018 AY cited from the Mass DOE site. You appear to contest this because the newer numbers don't match the infobox data, which is from 2011. Instead of reverting recklessly, you'd be better off to fix or undo specific edits you don't like, rather than undoing everything. Greyhound4334 (talk) 22:06, 17 March 2018 (UTC)Reply
