Hello, Agi~cswiki, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions, especially your edits to World Organization of the Scout Movement. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Here are a few links to pages you might find helpful:

Edit-warring

[edit]
Stop icon

Your recent editing history shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war. 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 BRD 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 your 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 don't violate the three-revert rule—should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly.


@--Kintetsubuffalo (talk) Hello. Thanks for the comments. Where is the error? All edited data had its source. I've also updated table settings to make them readable to readers. As far as flags and table settings are concerned - I was drawing on how the site about the Olympic Games is modified. (Https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Olympic_Games_host_cities). Please accept my changes. They are correct and substantive. Thank you. --* User talk:Agi~cswiki

@Agi~cswiki:
  1. per Wikipedia:Manual_of_Style/Icons#Inappropriate use, which was cited in my edit summary, the flags should not be added-the Scouting WikiProject frequently has to remove them from articles
  2. it is bad form to remove existing sources in favor of your own. If your sources are good, add them, but don't remove the old sources
  3. it is bad form to rewrite large sections of existing articles-your text should fit in to the existing text, not overwrite it
That said, I believe you are a dedicated Scouter, and your hard work is appreciated, if you will work with those editors who have been working on these articles for years, and not against them--Kintetsubuffalo (talk) 13:57, 23 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]
@Kintetsubuffalo:
  1. I do not work against anyone. I have not even bothered the original materials, just visualizing them and editing them. For example, at World Scout Jamboree, he added the missing countries who tried to organize the event.
  2. There were no actual changes. I did not erase any data. I've added country flags and table format. Nothing more, no less. Please accept changes.
