Features of subtle edit warring:
-
- The hostile revert. One editor add information and this is automatically reverted by another without explanation. If the first editor protests in a way that is at all intemperate, the hostile editor invokes all the Wiki rules about incivility.
- Pony express excuses for removing information and links. This is the determined removal of information on any pretext whatever. If one reason fails to stand up the hostile editor moves on to the next reason, and the next and the next. If someone protests in a way that is at all intemperate, the hostile editor invokes all the Wiki rules about incivility.
- Mushroom edits. Editor A makes a point with a properly cited link. A hostile editor then removes the direct link and leaves an indirect link. The indirect link preserves the appearance of a link but makes it hard for the general reader to find the specific web page. The reason? It helps to conceal information that the hostile editor doesn't like.
- Tunnel Vision edits. Editor A puts a point in a wider context. Editor B removes the point and the links on the pretext that the wider context is 'off topic'.
- Original Research abuse. Claims that something would be original research in article A but not original research in article B.
