Your recent editing history at Template:2020 Democratic Party presidential primaries 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 don't violate the three-revert rule—should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly.

- @WMSR: I took notice of this, and I agreed already to stop reverting edits in order to comply with wikipedia rules in good faith, at your request. But I must say that I have indeed tried to discuss the issue through the talk page and building consensus, and have instead found multiple people going against what I view as the consensus on the issue, and engaging on edit wars themselves. Kind regards Homo logos (talk) 22:02, 7 February 2020 (UTC)
- The consensus you're referring to was to wait for reliable sources to report results, and it was only on the talk page for the Iowa caucuses. If multiple people are going against your view of consensus, then perhaps it isn't a consensus. --WMSR (talk) 01:47, 8 February 2020 (UTC)
- @WMSR: Well isn't that petty? But no, obviously multiple people disagreeing with the consensus does not change the consensus by virtue of them being multiple. That's why we have elections isn't it? Homo logos (talk) 07:23, 8 February 2020 (UTC)

TheConversation ref
[edit]Hi, I couldn't figure out what you meant with the named reference "TheConveration" in your recent edit to Fascism, or if you meant to name the new reference you added. The edit seeems otherwise alright, but it's a page where good referencing seems particularly important and I guess these kind of errors are more easy to fix whith a fresh memory.

- Hi, I have fixed the reference. I'm not sure what the problem was. This was taken from the article on Golden Dawn.--Homo logos (talk) 19:36, 9 April 2021 (UTC)
- Thanks for the clarification. There were two different references and I added them both. The problem was that one reference was mentioned just by name and defined in a different part of the Golden Dawn article than the one you copied. This seems to happen quite often when moving/copying content and it's difficult to notice the problem in such long articles. Probably mentioning the source article could help (on the other hand it now seems strange that I didn't think about it before). Personuser (talk) 20:18, 9 April 2021 (UTC)
