Note once you have been undone (reverted) it is down to you to make a case at talk page, not to edit war.Slatersteven (talk) 15:03, 14 March 2020 (UTC)

Also I suggest you read wp:vandal. What was done was not vandalism, and making unfounded accusation is against the rules.Slatersteven (talk) 15:04, 14 March 2020 (UTC)

removing referenced content and providing no explanation is vandalism per the WP definition. WinstonSmith01984 (talk) 15:07, 14 March 2020 (UTC)

No it is not, This is now a warning. Do not call content disputes vandalism.Slatersteven (talk) 15:09, 14 March 2020 (UTC)

Misusing the term vandalism is casting aspersions. Don't use the word unless an edit is malicious in nature. O3000 (talk) 15:11, 14 March 2020 (UTC)

You also need to read wp:brd, wp:revert and wp:editwar. Once someone reverts you you are not supposed to revert them until you have consensus.Slatersteven (talk) 15:15, 14 March 2020 (UTC)
