Re: Why are all wiki edits undone?

[Aaron Liu <aaronliu0130@xxxxxxxxx>]

The usual rule of thumb with almost all wikis is to talk it out on the 
wiki. Talk with that user on the article talk page and ping them or talk 
with them on their user talk page. At the time you made this email, all 
you did was make one reverted edit (I checked your entire edit history,) 
and then you complain to arch devs that some of the community disagree 
with your edit, which seems like overkill.
