Sikh Dharma: avoiding an edit war

Your recent editing history at Sikh Dharma shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war. 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 BRD 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 your 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.

Spiff,

In the past 24 hours, you have twice reverted attempted good-faith changes I have made to the Sikh Dharma page. Please note that another reversion at this time would violate the three-revert rule. I note also that your 2018-05-09 edit to that entry deleted 18,206 bytes of content without any attempt to abide by the editing policy to fix the problem.

I have started a discussion on the entry's talk page to discuss what appears to be a misunderstanding or disagreement about the proper entry for content about Sikh Dharma International, aka 3HO. I invite you to join me there for further discussion, rather than reverting my future edits without engagement.
