Information icon Hello, I'm DVdm. I noticed that you added or changed content in an article, General relativity priority dispute, but you didn't provide a reliable source. It's been removed and archived in the page history for now, but if you'd like to include a citation and re-add it, please do so. You can have a look at referencing for beginners. If you think I made a mistake, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. DVdm (talk) 22:37, 8 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

The page General relativity priority dispute is, well, a dispute. The page cites a lot of references with a lot of details about a complex topic (general relativity) and events long ago (108 years). No citation would be adequate for claims that the dispute is settled in one way or another. If you find a citation, some else will find another one contradicting it: that back and forth is exactly what the article documents.
I am asking you to stop making such edits.
We could seek a consensus among Wikipedia editors concerning the text summarizing the current state of the dispute. Based on the references in the article, the likely result would be this is Einstein's theory and Hilbert almost simultaneously provided a more elegant derivation. Wikipedia has an established practice for this process, which begins by discussing the issue in the Talk page for the article. That should be your next step if you want to pursue this change in the article.

If this is a shared IP address, and you did not make the edits referred to above, consider creating an account for yourself or logging in with an existing account so that you can avoid further irrelevant notices.

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war according to the reverts you have made on General relativity priority dispute. 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:

  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. - DVdm (talk) 20:51, 10 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Your recent editing history at General relativity priority dispute 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. - DVdm (talk) 21:03, 10 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@DVdm the user at @24.73.197.114 continues to make the same edit on the General relativity priority dispute page with out discussion on the Talk page. I understand that this user is enthusiastic about this obscure topic, which I appreciate, but they are unwilling to engage, to read the other references, and consider the larger perspective so we are in loop. Your advice on how to proceed? Johnjbarton (talk) 03:05, 13 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
