August 2023[edit]
Hi Roobad! I noticed that you have reverted to restore your preferred version of an article several times. The impulse to undo an edit you disagree with is understandable, but I wanted to make sure you're aware that the edit warring policy disallows repeated reversions even if they are justifiable.
All editors are expected to discuss content disputes on article talk pages to try to reach consensus. If you are unable to agree, please use one of the dispute resolution options to seek input from others. Using this approach instead of reverting can help you avoid getting drawn into an edit war. Thank you. Firefangledfeathers (talk / contribs) 18:16, 22 August 2023 (UTC)
- Hi Firefangledfeathers. I appreciate your reaching out. The edits made on the page are in fact accurate and reliably sourced. Tour was in fact born in NYC and raised in White Plains in a Jewish household (see ref 37). According to his own account, a personal encounter with Jesus is what led to his conversion to Christianity (see ref 54). The term "pseudoscience" is derisive and does not align with Wikipedia's neutral point of view policy (Avoid stating seriously contested assertions as facts); theory is a more appropriate and neutral alternative. Lastly, the citation added (ref 61) supports the claim made on the page (He has separately debated American YouTuber Dave Farina and British chemist Leroy Cronin). I understand your concerns, and if there is anything in particular that you feel could be worded better, feel free to make specific edits. Wikipedia is meant to be a constructive place, after all. However, do understand that the edit warring policy goes both ways, and reverting valid and relevant information is a violation of the disruptive editing policy. Thank you.

- Roobad, most of those points would best be raised at Talk:James Tour, where other interested editors can read and respond. Firefangledfeathers (talk / contribs) 18:47, 22 August 2023 (UTC)
