Hello, I'm DVdm. I noticed that you added or changed content in an article, General relativity priority dispute, but you didn't provide a reliable source. It's been removed and archived in the page history for now, but if you'd like to include a citation and re-add it, please do so. You can have a look at referencing for beginners. If you think I made a mistake, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. DVdm (talk) 22:37, 8 December 2023 (UTC)

- The page General relativity priority dispute is, well, a dispute. The page cites a lot of references with a lot of details about a complex topic (general relativity) and events long ago (108 years). No citation would be adequate for claims that the dispute is settled in one way or another. If you find a citation, some else will find another one contradicting it: that back and forth is exactly what the article documents.
- I am asking you to stop making such edits.
- We could seek a consensus among Wikipedia editors concerning the text summarizing the current state of the dispute. Based on the references in the article, the likely result would be this is Einstein's theory and Hilbert almost simultaneously provided a more elegant derivation. Wikipedia has an established practice for this process, which begins by discussing the issue in the Talk page for the article. That should be your next step if you want to pursue this change in the article.

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war according to the reverts you have made on General relativity priority dispute. This means that you are repeatedly changing content back to how you think it should be although other editors disagree. Users are expected to collaborate with others, to avoid editing disruptively, and to try to reach a consensus, rather than repeatedly undoing other users' edits once it is known that there is a disagreement.
Points to note:
- Edit warring is disruptive regardless of how many reverts you have made;
- Do not edit war even if you believe you are right.
If you find yourself in an editing dispute, use the article's talk page to discuss controversial changes and work towards a version that represents consensus among editors. You can post a request for help at an appropriate noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, it may be appropriate to request temporary page protection. If you engage in an edit war, you may be blocked from editing. - DVdm (talk) 20:51, 10 December 2023 (UTC)
