Your recent editing history at Comparison of web browsers 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. See the bold, revert, discuss cycle for 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.

Consensus on Linux[edit]

The consensus on Wikipedia is that Linux is referred to as Linux, not GNU/Linux. This is a well-established consensus on Wikipedia. You are welcome to view the discussions on Talk:Linux, which is the article that describes and pertains to Linux and its naming. Wikipedia:Manual of Style/Computing (failed proposal) is not a failed proposal because of the MOS:Linux component; if you look at the discussions page for that proposal it makes that clear. Therefore Wikipedia:Manual of Style/Computing (failed proposal) having failed has zero to do with the otherwise standing consensus on Wikipedia. If you want GNU/Linux to be the name that Linux is referred to on any Wikipedia article, you must get a consensus for that change. This is not optional, and failure to do that will result in your addition of GNU/Linux being reverted every time. - Aoidh (talk) 02:05, 27 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I highly suggest you take my advice and try to get a consensus at Talk:Linux before you keep making these edits. - Aoidh (talk) 03:20, 27 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
