Your recent editing history at Fall of Constantinople 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.

Please stop your disruptive editing.

If you are engaged in an article content dispute with another editor, discuss the matter with the editor at their talk page, or the article's talk page, and seek consensus with them. Alternatively you can read Wikipedia's dispute resolution page, and ask for independent help at one of the relevant noticeboards.
If you are engaged in any other form of dispute that is not covered on the dispute resolution page, seek assistance at Wikipedia's Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents.

If you continue to disrupt Wikipedia, as you did at Fall of Constantinople, you may be blocked from editing. Dr. K. 03:59, 1 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Why did you start this ? I made one change, it was a Conquest, Constantinople did not fall it was conquered, Al14always (talk) 04:03, 1 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

We go by what the title of the article says. If you want to rename the article you go to the article talkpage to suggest a change of the article name. You don't do that by edit-warring your POV into the article. Dr. K. 04:07, 1 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I was simply editing, anyone can edit a Wikipedia page, I was unaware I had to ask, I was trying to figure out how to change the article as a whole, do I have your permission to change it ? Conquest of Constantinople, or maybe you could help me with that instead Al14always (talk) 04:10, 1 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Think of it this way: If anyone can edit Wikipedia, then anyone can keep changing everybody else's edits to suit their own POV. That would lead to chaos. So we have a rule on wiki, that if editors disagree they stop reverting each other and discuss on the article talkpage. It so happens that the current title of the article is Fall of Constantinople, not Conquest. That means editors agree that this is the WP:COMMONNAME for this event. If you still disagree you can go to Talk:Fall of Constantinople and propose a new name for the article. But, this case has been discussed before many times, and the result was to keep the name as Fall and not as Conquest. Dr. K. 04:16, 1 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
