March 2020 edit

 

Your recent editing history at Suckless.org shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war; that means that you are repeatedly changing content back to how you think it should be, when you have seen that other editors disagree. 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 the bold, revert, discuss cycle 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 you 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.

Have you considered the possibility that people affiliated with the Suckless.org community may be rushing to delete the entries they consider undesirable? They revert the changes very quickly and, each time, the revert is done by a different user (perhaps to evade the three-revert rule). I don't know, but I'd consider running a sockpuppet check on them. Odysseus Giacosa (talk) 20:01, 12 March 2020 (UTC)Reply
If you are legitimately concerned that these users might be sockpuppets you can always open an investigation. I however tend to agree that the edits are not properly sourced as per my edit summary. Greyjoy talk 05:18, 13 March 2020 (UTC)Reply
I understand, thank you. Have a nice weekend.Odysseus Giacosa (talk) 17:03, 13 March 2020 (UTC)Reply
