[edit] Reply to your question/comment RE: TIP

On this article the generality "In the United States, it is customary to tip x% at a restaurant" is impossible to complete correctly. The reason is: this varies widely by region, type of restaurant, time of day, day of week, and type of meal purchased. The reason the first editor's information is kept is because it was cited. Your edit removed the citation and changed the claimed tip percentage. While undoubtedly in good faith, your edit is the kind that can provoke an edit war. Every editor could come to the article and change the percentage to match their experience. The only correct way to prevent this is the cite a source for the information. I hope this helps.
