This is an article about how to cry about your edits being reverted

So you got into an edit war with someone? you asked an admin and he simply lol'd? this article is designed to help you cry about it resolve that problem and make you an hero win the conflict.

FAQ's for newcomers from Wikipedia

What are the steps to resolving a conflict?

Steps? They aren't any step. Why would ED want to have a long-ass, step-by-step process in which two people egg other on until one person is more despised and mean-looking than the other? We don't have time for that sort of bullshit. So what am I expected to do? You argue, and either something happens or it doesn't.

Where are your dispute resolution noticeboards?

There aren't any. We have boards for news and announcements, and don't peddle your pitiful pleads for someone's ouster for being mean or "wrong" there.

I was banned, and the sysop is wrong about it. What do I do?

A sysop reviewing the block log will either notice it or they won't.

I demand to speak to the highest authority.

You can try, but you probably can't. ED hasn't have a Jimbo Wales. We don't have a wannabe visionary guru posting dibble for his adoring fans.

What's the biggest difference between the Wikipedia and ED community?

Being a Wikipedian means pushing others out of his or her business; being a ED contributor means getting into other people's business. The typical Wikipedian doesn't want others to interfere with their work. They'll attempt to restrict topics to themselves, people they like, and people who won't stand in their way or don't care. On ED, you probably won't succeed in banning someone you don't like.

I demand a sysop to be demoted.

Please see Unrealistic Expectations for more info.

A sysop vandalized my user page and then locked it.

You probably deserve it, otherwise why would a sysop waste time he could have spent on something productive?

Someone Keeps reverting me but I think that my edit is better.

You can either A. call your sysop friend to banhammer him for you. OR B. keep reverting him until you both get B&.
