Hi Hank, welcome to Wikipedia. Re:
this reversion, per
our "Bold, Revert, Discuss" methodology, while you were fine to boldly make the change to the existing language, once reverted, the burden is yours to open a discussion on the talk page to seek
consensus for inclusion of the disputed phrasing, not to resubmit it. Resubmitting is typically considered
edit-warring, which is considered disruptive. In the interim, the stable version should remain. You might strongly consider clicking undo on your last change, otherwise, be prepared to have it reverted by someone else. It's typically risky to make changes to high profile things like content guidelines, and even with my years of experience, I'd personally open a discussion beforehand to see if there were any objections to a proposed change to language. If you have any questions, feel free to ask by responding below. Regards,
