Edit War on The Egg (Weir short story)

Stop icon

Your recent editing history at The Egg (Weir short story) 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.

Hey Chiyote! I understand you're trying to add a claim to this article that you wrote a prior work which was used by the author as inspiration. This is currently an unsubstantiated claim; please see the discussion I've started on the talk page. Since the claim you're making is controversial and you are the author of the work you're claiming was a source, you likely also have a conflict of interest in amending the contents of this page.

As this is not a particularly active page and all of its recent edits seem to have been either you adding this claim or other editors reverting your changes, I'm asking you to stop adding this information to the page directly and instead engage in discussion on the talk page at a minimum. Thanks! Dylan (talk) 18:21, 19 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
