[edit]
Your recent editing history at California High-Speed Rail shows that you are currently 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. 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; read about 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 you 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 do not violate the three-revert rule—should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly.

- Hi there, it seems I have been unsuccessful in trying to be careful about not treading onto WP:EW-territory – especially by not reverting other reverts (except one case where the edit summary was "nonsense!"). If I overstepped, then I shall accept that and I will desist going forward.
- Given the ongoing situation, suppose an editor consistently disregards consensus and pushes WP:POV, what is the best way for me to proceed without reverting? Absent anything, the article will be continued to be degraded with a series of incremental changes that will decrease quality and make it increasingly tendentious over time. I believe we are past WP:DR in this, as it pertains not to a topical dispute, but general editing behavior such as aforementioned POV-pushing or being disruptive on the talk page.

- @Jasper Deng: I really don't think Dracaena was edit warring. There were two consecutive edits (1 2) that undid two consecutive edits. Because they are consecutive this only counts as 1 revert, and this is the only revert Dracaena has done to the article in weeks. So I think this warning was overly aggressive.

- It's warranted, because a slow edit war is still an edit war.--Jasper Deng (talk) 03:42, 21 October 2024 (UTC)
- I agree with Leijurv that Dracaena was not edit-warring, with Dracaena having dedicated ample time to discuss this specific issue on TP and having reverted the other guy exactly once on this specific issue, and I believe the fact that it is the other guy whom Jasper Deng has ended up denouncing at WP:AN3 is strong evidence that there was zero need for Dracaena to be given this warning.
