April 2022[edit]

Hi 86.143.34.203! I noticed that you have reverted to restore your preferred version of Backstreet Boys several times. The impulse to undo an edit you disagree with is understandable, but I wanted to make sure you're aware that the edit warring policy disallows repeated reversions even if they are justifiable.

All editors are expected to discuss content disputes on article talk pages to try to reach consensus. If you are unable to agree at Talk:Backstreet Boys, please use one of the dispute resolution options to seek input from others. Using this approach instead of reverting can help you avoid getting drawn into an edit war. Thank you. Binksternet (talk) 18:48, 23 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war according to the reverts you have made on Backstreet Boys. This means that you are repeatedly changing content back to how you think it should be although 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:

Edit warring is disruptive regardless of how many reverts you have made;
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. Binksternet (talk) 18:52, 23 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Continuing the edit-warring of Special:Contributions/86.157.236.82.

UK and USA style are different in this regard. American groups are singular while UK groups are plural. Backstreet Boys is an American group while Pet Shop Boys are a British group. Binksternet (talk) 19:52, 23 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
