Hi AManWithNoHands! I noticed that you have reverted to restore your preferred version of James Tour 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:James Tour, 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.
If you are reverted again I suggest starting an discussion on the article's talk page. You might be right (I have no opinion either way) but being correct is not a acceptable reason for "edit warring". I will leave you some additional information about editing Wikipedia. If you have questions or need help, you can ask at the Teahouse.. S0091 (talk) 17:27, 27 February 2023 (UTC)
- A talk topic has been made. I just want to note that I have supported my edits, whereas the the others have not. A full argument is outlined in the talk topic. AManWithNoHands (talk) 18:54, 27 February 2023 (UTC)
- Good. I suggest giving WP:NPOV a read as I think that will be helpful to you and is a core Wikipedia policy. If you do not get a response in the next couple days or so, you can post a note at the WP:NPOVN noticeboard requesting input. S0091 (talk) 19:08, 27 February 2023 (UTC)
- Great thanks, I don't expect a response so I will probably end going to the noticeboard, sadly. AManWithNoHands (talk) 15:58, 28 February 2023 (UTC)
- A suggestion, be more concise (see Wall of text). Like you, editors are volunteers so time is precious and the longer the post the less likely editors will read it (or at least read it in its entirety). S0091 (talk) 20:04, 1 March 2023 (UTC)
- I tried the "keep it short" route, but was told to go to the talk page, followed by a suspension. But, thanks, I will keep this in mind. The person, I am talking to seems to agree with the edit. So can you reinstate it (I am not allowed). AManWithNoHands (talk) 20:08, 1 March 2023 (UTC)
- No, I will not reinstate the edit as consensus is required which has not been achieved (doesn't appear so anyway...hard to follow) and is the purpose of the talk page discussion. Also, I am not nearly enough familiar with the topic to join the discussion. S0091 (talk) 21:14, 1 March 2023 (UTC)
- That didn't turn out so bad, did it? Now that there is consensus, if someone else wants to restore the content in whole or part, they will need to gain consensus and will need to provide adequate sources to do so (which may not exist). Thanks for raising the issue and following Wikipedia's processes, as odd as they may seem to a new editor. 15:36, 3 March 2023 (UTC) S0091 (talk) 15:36, 3 March 2023 (UTC)
- great, thanks for your guidance on this! AManWithNoHands (talk) 15:44, 3 March 2023 (UTC)

Hello, I noticed that you may have recently made edits to James Tour while logged out. Wikipedia's policy on multiple accounts usually does not allow the use of both an account and an IP address by the same person in the same setting and doing so may result in your account being blocked from editing. Additionally, making edits while logged out reveals your IP address, which may allow others to determine your location and identity. If this was not your intention, please remember to log in when editing. Thank you. S0091 (talk) 19:39, 27 February 2023 (UTC)
