Edit warring[edit]
Your recent editing history at G.K.Chesterton shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war; that means that you are repeatedly changing content back to how you think it should be, when you have seen that other editors disagree. To resolve the content dispute, please do not revert or change the edits of others when you are reverted. Instead of reverting, please use the talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. The best practice at this stage is to discuss, not edit-war. See the bold, revert, discuss cycle for how this is done. If discussions reach an impasse, you can then post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection.
When you add material to Wikipedia whose accuracy or neutrality has been disputed by other editors, you are required by Wikipedia's policy on verifiability to provide reliable sources which support any disputed assertions made in that material. I have already pointed you to the talk page discusson where objections to your proposed edit have been made. Continuing to reinsert your edits over other editors' objections, especially without providing an adequate response on the the talk page to their objections, constitutes unacceptable behaviour known as "edit warring".
Being involved in an edit war can result in you being blocked from editing—especially if you violate the three-revert rule, which states that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Undoing another editor's work—whether in whole or in part, whether involving the same or different material each time—counts as a revert. Also keep in mind that while violating the three-revert rule often leads to a block, you can still be blocked for edit warring—even if you don't violate the three-revert rule—should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly.
