I was correcting an error, not vandalising. We have ONE national anthem here, and it isn't God Save The Queen. Many thanks for you understanding.

Edit warring on Isle of Man

Hello, I'm Roxy. Welcome to Wikipedia!

For the time being, please stop making changes to the Anthem section on Isle of Man. It's true that "God Save the Queen" is the royal anthem, not the national anthem, and the way it's currently listed fails to convey that. But for one reason or another, other editors took issue with removing it, and reverted your edit.

It's possible that they mistook your removal for intentional vandalism, or perhaps your edit summaries this is wrong!, God Save the Queen is ABSOLUTELY NOT used on the Isle of Man lead them to assume you were inserting original research. Even if you're 100% sure the information you're removing is wrong, editors are expected to verify their claims by referencing reliable sources, rather than their own knowledge, so edit summaries like "Trust me!" tend to make other editors very suspicious of the claims therein.

If one of your edits gets reverted, you should discuss your changes on the article's talk page, and attempt to find consensus among other editors to reinstitute them. Wikipedia calls this the "BOLD, revert, discuss" cycle, or WP:BRD for short. Repeatedly reverting the article to how you think it should be is called edit warring. It's considered disruptive behavior, and could lead to your account being blocked.

I completely agree with you that the article's infobox should change how it lists the royal anthem, and have opened this up for discussion on the article's talk page. You're free to participate there. I hope you'll stick around and keep working to improve Wikipedia.

Happy editing! RoxySaunders (talk · contribs) 21:42, 27 March 2021 (UTC)
