{{adminhelp}} Hello I am admittedly new to wiki editing and have not grasped all of the protocol. I have engaged in an edit war on the Adam Parfrey wiki page regarding a bad book promotion. I feel that the complaint about not having certain material in Dark Mission's revised edition is a matter of publishing and promoting logistics. Changes in a book between author and publisher happen daily in the publishing business, and the promotion was changed, and thus it is a meaningless issue for a Wikipdedia entry. As a result it's used as a personal attack against the writer and publisher. I have addressed this issue on the talk page of the person I seem to disagree with. Can someone tell me the best way to address this issue? I will refrain from editing. Thank you. CarrieLorraine ( talk) 20:19, 30 November 2011 (UTC) reply

It was removed because you did not explain your reasons in the edit summary field, so the user reviewing the edit did not know your intentions and had to assume them to be malicious. As for addressing the issue: I suggest you raise the issue at Talk:Adam Parfrey to discuss it with other editors. If input there fails, you can ask at Wikipedia:Neutral point of view/Noticeboard.

Welcome

Welcome to Wikipedia! You're off to a good start. Don't worry about the warning thing -- there are so many WP:this and WP:thats that everyone does something "wrong" sooner or later, and no one minds as longer as you have good intentions. I'm glad you sought assistance at WP:DRN -- I've commented there and on the article talk page. Gerardw ( talk) 23:35, 7 December 2011 (UTC) reply
