How do I avoid an Edit War, I've used original research sometimes, as There Is No Such Thing As Notability, but how can I avoid it becoming an edit war?

It's super simple. If someone contests an edit you've made, either by reverting it or changing it in a way that you disagree with, talk it out before making any further edits to that particular example/description/whatever.

If the other user ignores your attempts to engage them, inform the moderation (typically via Ask The Tropers).

As noted in the ATT topic, TVT is not really a place for original research.
