You currently appear to be 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. Users are expected to collaborate with others, to avoid editing disruptively, and to try to reach a consensus, rather than repeatedly undoing other users' edits once it is known that there is a disagreement.

Points to note:

  1. Edit warring is disruptive regardless of how many reverts you have made;
  2. Do not edit war even if you believe you are right.

If you find yourself in an editing dispute, use the article's talk page to discuss controversial changes and work towards a version that represents consensus among editors. You can post a request for help at an appropriate noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, it may be appropriate to request temporary page protection. If you engage in an edit war, you may be blocked from editing. Willbb234Talk (please {{ping}} me in replies) 13:58, 31 January 2021 (UTC)

Nice tit for tat, you need to read wp:brd, you were reverted you need to make a case, not just edit war to add it in.Slatersteven (talk) 14:01, 31 January 2021 (UTC)
You need to make a proper case for why you reverted, not just random, discombobulated statements. I have given you my reasoning. Kind regards, Willbb234Talk (please {{ping}} me in replies) 14:05, 31 January 2021 (UTC)
No, see WP:ONUS, its you that needs who to make the case.Slatersteven (talk) 14:10, 31 January 2021 (UTC)
If you cast your eyes a few lines above, you'll see that I have made my case already. Kind regards, Willbb234Talk (please {{ping}} me in replies) 14:27, 31 January 2021 (UTC)
And I objected to it, thus you do not have consensus. The policy is not "make your case" its "get agreement".Slatersteven (talk) 14:29, 31 January 2021 (UTC)
You just said that I needed to "make the case" and now that I don't. I think you're getting a little confused and muddled up over there. Kind regards, Willbb234Talk (please {{ping}} me in replies) 14:35, 31 January 2021 (UTC)
No, you need to make a case, and then convince others its valid, read the policy. "While information must be verifiable to be included in an article, not all verifiable information needs to be included in an article. Consensus may determine that certain information does not improve an article, and that it should be omitted or presented instead in a different article. The onus to achieve consensus for inclusion is on those seeking to include disputed content." "If your bold edit was reverted, then do not re-revert to your version. If your reversion was reverted, then do not re-revert to your version. If you re-revert, then you are no longer following BRD." I said "make a case (as in "Discuss"). Just making the case is not enough you also need wp:consensus.Slatersteven (talk) 14:41, 31 January 2021 (UTC)
I clearly made my case. Your case was so weak and barely understandable and you never made a reasonable argument that the consensus was pretty clearly in favour of keeping the content. If you're so keen for consensus, why did you originally revert just four minutes after I added the content? It seems that you didn't want consensus and just went straight to deleting, which was very battleground like. Kind regards, Willbb234Talk (please {{ping}} me in replies) 14:45, 31 January 2021 (UTC)
Because I did not agree with it, consensus means agreement, you agreeing with yourself is not consensus. You made a bold edit I reverted as I felt it was unnecessary detail (and still do). All it does its adds content that really tells us nothing about what he did beyond triva, and I stand by that.Slatersteven (talk) 15:04, 31 January 2021 (UTC)
Why am I getting involved in this? I am being blocked from editing for no reason?!
What are you talking about, this was 4 months ago.Slatersteven (talk) 08:44, 1 May 2021 (UTC)
