NSEL Case
Hi Yashovardhan,
I’ve been monitoring and editing the NSEL case page for months now. And I’ve spent many hours researching on the topic. There has been a constant reversal of edits without any concrete information by few editors. I’ve even put up a discussion on the talk to page to build consensus before going through with further edits or reverts. After repeated reminders, there has been no response or efforts made by other editors who have been reverting my edits to build consensus. I would appreciate if you could look into the matter. Thank you Michaeltibbs (talk) 10:59, 24 August 2017 (UTC)
