February 2021 edit

  Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. You appear to be repeatedly reverting or undoing other editors' contributions at Eskimo kissing. 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 on that page. 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.

@DreamLinker:, I'd really like to know how this constitutes edit warring as you reverted my original changes. You have not provided rationale for your reverts other than preventing "censorship" which is a gross misuse of the term -- my changes were focused on antiracism and Inuit-focused language, as kunik is Inuit. You have mentioned broadening the page to include all nose-kissing, but have not made any substantial edits to this end, so I am left thinking you're preserving racism for the sake of preserving racism. My edits have been careful and intentioned in removing misinformation, (see also the relocation of the "real" kunik at the top and the move of the white people nose-kissing to the "representation in different cultures" section) but you have not provided commentary in your reverts. See: Racial bias on Wikipedia. Cjseaslug (talk) 21:37, 14 February 2021 (UTC)Reply
Hi Cjseaslug. Thank you for asking me. You did a "bold" edit and I "reverted" it. The next stage is to discuss and gain consensus (instead of you trying to do the changes again). Regarding the not censored reason, my point is about this guideline called WP:NOTCENSORED. As for "You have mentioned broadening the page to include all nose-kissing, but have not made any substantial edits to this end, so I am left thinking you're preserving racism for the sake of preserving racism.", please assume good faith. It's really late where I am and this is not the only article I work on. There is no deadline as such, all of use are volunteers. Before changing content of an article, we look for references (See Wikipedia:Reliable sources for what constitutes reliable source). Would you help me find some about kunik? (the references in the existing article are not that great).--DreamLinker (talk) 21:58, 14 February 2021 (UTC)Reply
