Hi Wojacks! I noticed that you have reverted to restore your preferred version of Graham Linehan 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 at Talk:Graham Linehan, 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. Sideswipe9th (talk) 22:21, 7 April 2022 (UTC)

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war according to the reverts you have made on Graham Linehan. This means that you are repeatedly changing content back to how you think it should be although other editors disagree. Users are expected to collaborate with others, to avoid editing disruptively, and to try to reach a consensus, rather than repeatedly undoing other users' edits once it is known that there is a disagreement.

Points to note:

1. Edit warring is disruptive regardless of how many reverts you have made;
2. Do not edit war even if you believe you are right.

If you find yourself in an editing dispute, use the article's talk page to discuss controversial changes and work towards a version that represents consensus among editors. You can post a request for help at an appropriate noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, it may be appropriate to request temporary page protection. If you engage in an edit war, you may be blocked from editing. Sideswipe9th (talk) 02:49, 15 April 2022 (UTC)

Wojacks, evidently you have not read the [[Wikipedia:Arbitration Committee/Discretionary sanctions From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia|Discretionary Sanctions]] notice added at the top of this page. I urge you to do so now and to pay heed to the above edit-warring notice issued by Sideswipe9th. Bastun^{Ėġáḍβáś₮ŭŃ!} 11:20, 15 April 2022 (UTC)
