Here are some other hints and tips:

• I recommend that you get a username. You don't have to log in to read or edit articles on Wikipedia, but creating an account is quick, free and non-intrusive, requires no personal information, and there are many benefits of having a username. (If you edit without a username, your IP address is used to identify you instead.)
• When using talk pages, please sign your name at the end of your messages by typing four tildes (~~~~). This will automatically produce your username (or IP address) and the date.

I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! If you need help, check out Wikipedia:Questions, ask me on my talk page, or type {{helpme}} here on your talk page and someone will show up shortly to answer your questions. Again, welcome! DoebLoggs (talk) 08:17, 3 July 2023 (UTC)

I have been involved with the discussion on the talk page with regards to the changes. Is that not enough? I have not seen more from the people who reverted my own edits, or the edits of the user i was restoring. 49.182.173.50 (talk) 08:22, 3 July 2023 (UTC)

As far I can see you only left a comment on the article's talk page 13 minutes before removing a properly sourced sentence. When opinions diverge on a specific subject, like in this case, you are expected to reach a consensus and not to act unilaterally as you did. Discussions can take days or weeks before reaching a consensus. I will not revert you again as I don't want to break the 3RR rule but I still consider your removal an incorrect move. --DoebLoggs (talk) 08:43, 3 July 2023 (UTC)

I have previous comments as well. 49.182.173.50 (talk) 08:51, 3 July 2023 (UTC)

All a moot point anyway, as it seems that Mzajac is locking down the article to their extremely biased version without bothering to engage in consensus building at all. Should I take it that these rules only apply to new editors? 211.30.185.112 (talk) 02:32, 4 July 2023 (UTC)

Not at all. Usually, when a discussion is ongoing on a certain topic, involved users are expected not to change the status quo before a consensus is reached. I can't say for sure that this was @Mzajac:'s intent, but their reversion of your edit can be seen that way and this is why it is, in my opinion, acceptable. --DoebLoggs (talk) 09:00, 4 July 2023 (UTC)

They also removed Wizard of Cambridges contribution without discussion, and aren't engaging in good faith discussion in the talk page. 147.10.101.168 (talk) 12:47, 4 July 2023 (UTC)

How can consensus be reached with someone who refuses to engage in consensus building? 147.10.101.168 (talk) 12:48, 4 July 2023 (UTC)
