:Along these lines, I have protected the [[Rustler]] article, as edit warring has resumed, despite the fact that the article was previously protected for the same reason. Please discuss design aspects of the plane on the [[Talk:Rustler|talk page]], as there may very well be other editors who would like to add their points of view. Because there seem to be many things in contention, it is best to discuss them, rather than revert each other's edits, which gets us nowhere. Our goal is to improve the wiki, which ''must'' involve discussion and consensus, especially on such contentious issues. If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to [[User talk:Eganio|contact me]]. Thank you in advance for your cooperation.

Hi, Sukhoi-35BM. This is in response to the debate in which you and [[User:MetaCracken|MetaCracken]] were engaging on my [[User talk:Eganio|talk page]]. You have been asked to do this before, and I will ask again: '''please''' discuss things on the appropriate talk pages rather than autonomously reverting the edits other users have made. As I have said before, you seem very knowledgeable when it comes to aircraft, and your edits are truly appreciated. However, as I have also said, your knowledge does ''not'' grant you ultimate authority on this wiki over anything and everything pertaining to aircraft. Whether you recognize it or not, you are a member of a ''community'' of editors, all here for the same purpose: to improve Grand Theft Wiki. This means you should not only assume good faith of your fellow editors, but you should ''definitely'' discuss edits with them, rather than positioning yourself as an authority, especially when other editors feel as strongly as you do about the content. | |||
Because the aforementioned community is based on a collaborative approach to improving and maintaining the wiki, it does none of us any good to argue and accuse each other of adding "irrelevant" information. One person's minor detail is another person's major aspect, please realize. Furthermore, it is not up to ''one'' editor to decide what to include/exclude from ''any'' given article. It is up to the community to decide that...that having been said, the ''only'' way to garner a community perspective is to discuss things on talk pages attached to the articles themselves, where ''everyone'' can add their perspective. | |||
I realize that you are endeavoring to keep the wiki "clean" of useless information, and I applaud you for that, but ''please'' remember that speculation is very welcomed here, as is detail. We strive to offer as much information as possible to our readers. Sometimes that information may seem ancillary and even irrelevant to some, but the fact that it may not seem that way to others is why we '''must''' discuss things before making the "final edit", so to speak.
