Adelbeighou consistency deleting information in sports in Albania

Hi Adelbeighou! 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.

Could you pleas do some action against him as he continuesly tries to delete sporting history in the sport in Albania page this is gettint annoying otherwise make this page semi protected.

Thanks for your help. 2A00:20:D005:C3BB:E1D0:6B29:1D6F:57B1 (talk) 21:10, 4 July 2024 (UTC)

Hi. Thanks for reaching out. A few things: first, I'm not an administrator so I am unable to either apply sanctions to a user or to semi-protect the page.

Second, having glanced at the editing history a little bit, it seems to me that this is not a clear cut case of vandalism or malicious editing on the part of Adelbeighou; rather, the two of you (assuming this and this edit were also you, which from the tone of the edit summaries looks quite likely) are engaged in a dispute about what information does or does not belong on the page. I don't know which of you is right about that content dispute, but both of you have crossed the line into edit warring at this point, which is a problem. You did make some attempt to reconcile the issue via a message on Adelbeighou's talk page, which is good, but you also didn't stop engaging in the edit warring behaviour and have been using personal attacks in your edit summaries and messages, which is not good.

Frankly, all of this is above my pay grade, so I am going to refer it to the admins, and we shall see what happens. AntiDionysius (talk) 21:24, 4 July 2024 (UTC)

Removed addition

You removed a restored fact I made to the Airdrieonians page. The addition I made was a fact that had been on the page for 12 months until it was removed for no apparent reason a few days ago. You cited that it wasn't verifiable- I don't understand this as it is factual and was previously in place for a significant time. Can you explain this please?

I removed the addition because it was unsourced. I was not aware that the same info had been on the page for some time before. It being there for a long time, though, does not circumvent the requirement that it, like all information on Wikipedia, be sourced. AntiDionysius (talk) 23:59, 4 July 2024 (UTC)

I have no idea why it was removed a few days ago when it was previously edited(11 months ago)by the person who removed it?

The only way to verify the fact would be to check the club website. It seems like an awful lot of trouble over something which is not disputed or inaccurate True Airdrie (talk) 00:05, 5 July 2024 (UTC)

I do not know why that person removed it either. You'd have to ask them. The club website would be a perfectly okay way to verify. The right thing to do then would be to add the website as a citation beside the relevant information. Then all other editors and readers can know where it came from and know that it is accurate.

The information can be found here. Is this acceptable for you? Thanks True Airdrie (talk) 00:18, 5 July 2024 (UTC)

Of course. Please feel free to re-add the info with that as a citation. AntiDionysius (talk) 00:19, 5 July 2024 (UTC)

I'll try! I'm extremely bad at anything technical True Airdrie (talk) 00:21, 5 July 2024 (UTC)
