You are aware that bald reversion is not allowed and
that rules like
[[WP:3RR]] -- or any admin with sense -- will stop it, right? Do
you know
that this is exactly the same kind of canned non-objection that an
uninitiated person makes against the very idea of an encyclopedia
that
anyone can edit?
Right—and the reason we're disallowed from edit warring is because we
make those decisions from consensus-finding discussions, which is the
entire part of what I said that you just completely ignored in favor
of making a personal attack. Charming.
I didn't make a personal attack. I attacked your objection.
Fine, but you still ignored the main point of my argument which was,
and I quote, "until finally settling down and having a consensus-
finding discussion—i.e., engaging in the AfD process."
To repeat myself, any dispute over placement of a PROD tag would
ultimately result in "finally settling down and having a consensus-
finding discussion—i.e., engaging in the AfD process."
In other words, just as normal edit wars are discouraged in favor of
"settling down and having a consensus-finding discussion", edit wars
over PROD tags would *ideally* be replaced with "settling down and
having a consensus-finding discussion" would, in the case of a PROD
dispute, constitute, in effect, "engaging in the AfD process".
In summary, any dispute over the placement of a PROD tag would, at
best, result in "having a consensus-finding discussion—i.e., engaging
in the AfD process".
(I hope that was clear.)
