User:Mel Carter/Edit War Explanation Sandbox

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

What is an Edit War?

An edit war is a disagreement on material that user do not discuss. They instead change it to their preference or view without recognition on the other user. This happens back and forth. Just to add an vandalism edit does not count nor does an edit made by an banned user. For it not to be a problem the users must not redo edits within a 24 hour window. More than three reversed or changed edits can result in being banned from the site.

In my example DoctorJoeE is a culprit of starting a edit war on Emmett Till's Wikipedia page. He continues on multiple occasions to reverse edits from all other users to previous history that may or may not have been created by him. Here's the link go check it out. Emmett Till's Revision History.
