Hello, I'm Binksternet. I noticed that you removed topically relevant content from Boeing E-6 Mercury. However, Wikipedia is not censored. Please do not remove or censor information that directly relates to the subject of the article. If the content in question involves images, you have the option to configure Wikipedia to hide images that you may find offensive. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you may leave a message on my talk page. Thank you.

My removing information that is a) sensitive to national security and b) no longer accurate due to modifications that have been made to the aircraft is not censorship. As the SME on this platform, it is my responsibility to make sure the information that is published about it is accurate. Khieatt (talk) 17:15, 22 February 2024 (UTC)

Hi Khieatt! I noticed that you have reverted to restore your preferred version of Boeing E-6 Mercury several times. The impulse to undo an edit you disagree with is understandable, but I wanted to make sure you're aware that the edit warring policy disallows repeated reversions even if they are justifiable.

All editors are expected to discuss content disputes on article talk pages to try to reach consensus. If you are unable to agree at Talk:Boeing E-6 Mercury, please use one of the dispute resolution options to seek input from others. Using this approach instead of reverting can help you avoid getting drawn into an edit war. Thank you. Binksternet (talk) 17:25, 22 February 2024 (UTC)

That information is no longer accurate and needs to be removed. The Navy Fact File source that is used for it is no longer there (the source link goes to an error page), so the source also needs to be updated. Khieatt (talk) 17:34, 22 February 2024 (UTC)

I have updated the information remove inaccuracies and updated the source material: https://www.navy.mil/Resources/Fact-Files/Display-FactFiles/Article/2162873/e-6b-mercury-airborne-command-post/. Khieatt (talk) 17:44, 22 February 2024 (UTC)

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war according to the reverts you have made on Boeing E-6 Mercury. 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:

1. Edit warring is disruptive regardless of how many reverts you have made;
2. 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. Binksternet (talk) 18:12, 22 February 2024 (UTC)

The 2019 information is no longer accurate and should be updated. There have been modifications to the aircraft that have changed its specifications, which is why it's been changed in the Navy Fact File. Just because I work for the Navy does not mean I am engaging in censorship. You are the one censoring me. I have a responsibility to ensure the information published about our platform is accurate. I have provided updated source material from the same source relied upon for the original information. I do not understand why that is not sufficient to justify the updated information nor why you would want to continue to revert to three-year-old facts (which predate our aircraft modifications).

Censorship

Wikipedia does not censor facts. If there is a good source for facts, then you should not remove them. The archived Navy page contains more facts than the current one, which is why I restored it.

It doesn't matter here on Wikipedia that you think US national security is a factor. It doesn't matter that your job is to restrict sensitive information. Wikipedia will continue to show the best available facts. Binksternet (talk) 18:15, 22 February 2024 (UTC)

My job is not to restrict sensitive information. It is to make sure the information that is published is correct, which this is not. That isn’t censorship, it’s facts. Khieatt (talk) 14:25, 23 February 2024 (UTC)
