Curious about multiple reversions on a CTOPS article[edit]
Hey The ed17! I had a question about why you reverted my edit on Standoff at Eagle Pass. From your edit summary, you said you reverted based on previous edits. That is when I noticed this reversion of the exact same thing 5 hours earlier as well as this reversion of the same thing two hours before the aforementioned reversion. The article is a Wikipedia:Contentious topics and while it is not 1RR restricted, it may be best if you self-revert, given you have reverted the same item three times within 8 hours.
I should also note there was a talk page discussion opened on this exact thing about 5 hours ago.
So, honestly, my advice to you would be to self-revert (solely due to the triple reversion on a CTOPS article) and then participate in that talk page discussion. The Weather Event Writer (Talk Page) 05:31, 26 January 2024 (UTC)
- Hello WeatherWriter and thanks for writing. I also apologize as I'm only now seeing your message. I'd quibble with your characterizations above: the earliest was a regular bog-standard edit, as adding/removing material from articles is something we all do every day. The middle one reverted an IP editor who made their changes without a basis in policy + with an apparent bias (edit summary: "Re added what liberal ed got rid off" [sic]). That of course counts as a revert in the technical sense, but nevertheless there's more to the story. The final revert was indeed a revert, which another editor has upheld. I'll leave a comment in the opened discussion. Ed [talk] [OMT] 20:49, 26 January 2024 (UTC)
