There are lots of ressource on the web, describing what a _wiki_ edit war is, like: http://c2.com/cgi/wiki?EditWar > >> I also started a topic on Wiki administration: > >> http://lists.debian.org/debian-www/2010/05/msg00029.html > >> ...no answers so far. > >> > >> Can I ask why you're changing this? > >> > > You have worked around a ban on changing the page in question to > > simply go and repeat the exact behaviour that caused the ban in the > > first place.

Edit war is not an acceptable way to collaborate. Once your edit was reverted, you should not have reverted again (see [1]). Instead, you should have discussed about your changes. BTW, writing in a wiki is like coding, it is a good idea to "split your patch" so other people understand what you do and why you do it.
