Please do not add or change content, as you did at Cathy McMorris Rodgers, without citing a reliable source. Please review the guidelines at Wikipedia:Citing sources and take this opportunity to add references to the article. Thank you. Drmies (talk) 02:26, 7 January 2021 (UTC)

• • Drmies I reverted a change that removed a large set of sourced content. The editor claimed to have problems with the sources but I suspect the main problem was that the content didn't fit the editor's political agenda. Irrespective of the reason why, these changes were made without adequate discussion on the talk page and it was appropriate to revert them.

Please do not remove content or templates from pages on Wikipedia, as you did to Ruby K. Payne, without giving a valid reason for the removal in the edit summary. Your content removal does not appear to be constructive and has been reverted. If you only meant to make a test edit, please use the sandbox for that. Thank you. jp×g 12:46, 16 January 2021 (UTC)

jp the edit was constructive. I'm sure you are familiar with Wikipedia:Criticism#"Criticism"_section. Furthermore, the article doesn't elaborate on the content of Payne's books so the criticism of the content is basically just axe grinding and not relevant. I've reverted your revert. Continue this discussion on the talk page of the article if you wish to discuss it further.

Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. You appear to be repeatedly reverting or undoing other editors' contributions. 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.
