Hello, and
welcome to Wikipedia. You appear to be repeatedly
reverting or undoing other editors' contributions at
First Man (film). 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 be blocked from editing Wikipedia. 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 lead to a block. Thank you. TJRC ( talk) 20:16, 27 February 2019 (UTC)
To whoever this may concern:
I am totally baffled by what is taking place here. It is not edit warring to correct something that has been repeatedly proven as true. If others choose to change it, it is no more argumentative to change it back as it is they insisting it is true. That being said, I haven’t made more than three edits to this page in 24 hours, therefore, there is no reason for the warning message. I do feel it’s important that the material on the page is correct, and I feel anyone else who reads it would agree. If no consensus is reached? What then?

Hi there,
I am so confused. Not with you - with this site. I’ve been on it for several months now, but have never really gotten the hang of it and never had any useful help.
As far as the first man incident, I apologize for my comment earlier: “I will, but for now it’s $59 million” or whatever I said. I had just had a very bad customer service incident at work, was hangry, and typed without thinking. My apologies. Is there any way for me to delete my comment?
My frustration with this site is growing though. For instance, I can’t find any page that has step by step instructions on how to edit. I once tried to remove an incorrect article listed as a reference, and I accidentally messed up the html code without realizing. When I went to go back, it was accidentally saved and the next thing I knew, it was blocked (I think); it said because of “sabotage.” I had no idea what happened! Also, the comments I’ve made regarding the changes: they were from people who messaged me quite bluntly (some rudely) about my change, and I thought I was responding to THEM. I didn’t know I had created a discussion or “talk” and I have no idea how I did that or how any of it works! So please bear in mind that any comments I have made that seemed intense were responding to a nasty person. I feel awful knowing that it didn’t go to them, but to the forum!
Long story short, I am completely bewildered by what’s going on. I wasn’t trying to do anything other than change a number back to where several sources have listed it. I didn’t know edit warring even existed, but now that you’ve described it, I realize my last comment classified as it. I also didn’t realize that what I sent you was copied to three different locations, and I have NO idea how that happened!
Please send me some useful links to editing a page! Thanks

Okay, thanks. I was wondering though: The correction I made to the budget stood for some time. Someone else changed else, and I changed it back. Because they kept changing it back, isn’t it THEM who needs to prove the issue? Since my $59 million stood for some time and THEY changed it. How come their’s get to stay and I have to prove mine? Also, I contacted the editor who made the change and haven’t heard back (I saw from their page they really don’t answer any messages) and the talk page on the First Man page has no one else recently...forgive me if you sent me the answer to this, but where do I go to get the question answered once and for all if communicating with them fails? Am I okay to change it back? S26205229 ( talk) 01:44, 1 March 2019 (UTC)
To be clear, I’m not being persistent with this to be difficult or because I want my way - I just don’t want other articles or people pulling from the wrong number. $11 million makes a big difference, particularly when people go to write an article about box office successes and failures. I just want to make sure it’s accurate. S26205229 ( talk) 01:49, 1 March 2019 (UTC)
The reason I didn’t add a source was because the source was already there and had been archived - 3) box office mojo. Should I have referenced it in the comments box when changing? S26205229 ( talk) 01:57, 1 March 2019 (UTC)
