Hello, and
welcome to Wikipedia. You appear to be repeatedly
reverting or undoing other editors' contributions. Although this may seem necessary to protect your preferred version of a page, on Wikipedia this is known as "
edit warring" and is usually seen as obstructing the
normal editing process, as it often creates animosity between editors. Instead of reverting, please discuss the situation with the editor(s) involved and try to reach a
consensus on the
talk page.
If editors continue to revert to their preferred version they are likely to lose their editing privileges. This isn't done to punish an editor, but to prevent the disruption caused by edit warring. In particular, editors should be aware of the three-revert rule, which says that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Edit warring on Wikipedia is not acceptable in any amount, and violating the three-revert rule is very likely to result in loss of your editing privileges. Thank you.-- VViking Talk Edits 13:51, 27 July 2020 (UTC)

Viewmont Viking: when a redirection is contested, you need to take it to AfD.

- No I don't because it is not the redirection that is contested. There has been a long standing redirect and they you created an article over it. Two editors have now reverted the change to the page that you made. You are engaged in an edit war. Create the article first under a Draft, submit it for approval and if it is approved then the redirect will be replaced. -- VViking Talk Edits 14:00, 27 July 2020 (UTC)
