Help request

Hi, could someone help me with this. I have tried explaining Wikipedia's policy to the user, but they seem uninterested and want to engage in an edit war. They're obviously trying to make some point but it seems a bit of a trivial matter to report it as disruptive. It could do with someone else taking a look though.

The edit summary of the diff you provided contains an invitation to discuss the matter on the talk page. Is there anything in particular that's standing in the way of that? 78.28.44.127 (talk) 00:30, 12 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The onus is on the ip to explain why the link should be changed, and to do so before changing it. There are hundreds of links to COVID-19, and to change them all in the way suggested would require a discussion and consensus. The place to have that discussion would be at WP:COVID. The invitation was added at the end of a long rambling edit summary, and was only added after the edit had twice been reverted. This is Paul (talk) 00:45, 12 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

This looks to be a content dispute which is outside the scope of the Help Me tag, so I have deactivated it. If you have concerns about edit warring, I would suggest WP:AN3 - Rich^T|C|E-Mail 00:57, 12 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
