Editor expeirence invitation

Hi Wikipedialuva :) I'm looking for experienced editors to interview here. Feel free to pass if you're not interested. Clovermoss🍀 (talk) 00:16, 14 April 2024 (UTC)

A Thousand Times Repent vandal

I am sorry about my attitude. I just thought the other user was being very unreasonable considering I was just removing stuff that was backed up by a false source and he accused me being 'unconstructive' or something. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 158.140.53.34 (talk) 09:43, 23 April 2024 (UTC)

Also just so you know he keeps edit warring and bringing back this false info even though I've said numerous times the information is false and the source is not reliable nor does the info in the unreliable source even say what is being claimed on the page. Look at history for A Thousand Times Repent I have said this before and he keeps vandalizing the page with the false info with false source.

No worries. After your edit summary, I stopped reverting because you clarified why you were making the edits you were. I could see why you were removing the edits, as the edits you reverted did cite sources that the Wikipedia:Reliable sources/Perennial sources had ranked "generally unreliable" (though not being deprecated or blacklisted). It's best to clarify why you do something in every edit summary, not just certain ones. It's also important to remember that even if you are "right", the edit warring/3-revert-rule still applies and should generally not be reverted without first discussing the issue on the article's talkpage and coming to a consensus. In general, try to make sure every edit explains why you are making the edit; if an edit does get reverted, reach out to the edit on their talk page or ping them on the article's talk page; and try to avoid reverting more than three times, as this is considered edit warring (even if you are "right"). If you find yourself getting very frustrated when editing (which happens to almost everyone), the essay "Wikipedia:Staying cool when the editing gets hot" can be helpful. (Posting to IP talkpage as well). Thanks! Wikipedialuva (talk) 10:27, 23 April 2024 (UTC)

I hate to ask you to get you further involved but do you think think you can maybe restore my edits? Cuz he won't quit and I just wanted to help by keeping incorrect info off the page. Idk what his problem is. Thanks for your kind attitude. Just asking if you could do that for me cuz any time I try to restore it he always comes back so long as it's done by me. It's definitely vandalism since he persists in re-adding false / improperly sourced information....

It appears AlphaBetaGamma has already done so. Wikipedialuva (talk) 10:50, 23 April 2024 (UTC)

Yeah sorry for suddenly intervening but I've warned Rahio and explained the case. ABG (Talk/Report any mistakes here) 10:53, 23 April 2024 (UTC)

@Wikipedialuva Nevermind it seems Rahio1234 and the IP has gone full heated, should I file a ANI/EW discussion? ABG (Talk/Report any mistakes here) 10:58, 23 April 2024 (UTC)

He just keeps on reverting me because he doesnt like me I guess. He followed me to another page and started reverting me there as well...Im not trying to cause any problems, but he started doing it on Downthesun. No need to open a discussion because Im done with this guy i'll leave it up to you. Idk what the big deal about changing a short description on a page to reflect the lede is though but he seems to have a huge problem with any edit I make. I dont know whats wrong with this guy but please tell me why I'm not allowed to edit the Downthesun article either? He just wants to revert anything I do.......Either way I have better things to do than deal with this absurdity.

Yeah I've reverted you edits --118.172.25.92 (talk) 11:06, 23 April 2024 (UTC)

Yeah this is out of control, reporting to ANI and also RPPing pages ABG (Talk/Report any mistakes here) 11:10, 23 April 2024 (UTC)

@AlphaBetaGamma: While I generally try to avoid ANI when possible, I agree that, at this point, reporting to ANI is probably the best course of action. This is no longer just a simple edit war on a single page. Wikipedialuva (talk) 11:16, 23 April 2024 (UTC)
