I don’t have the time at the moment to post specific edits, but by readding it after he deleted it, you are also edit warring.

It’s been added twice by you and deleted twice by them, so both of you are at fault here.

I realized that, so that's why I stopped and I apologize for it. It's just an old bad habit since people usually stopped after I re-added a questionable edit with an explanation.

But my question remains. Is the 14 age a valid reason to delete it?

I’m saying that because you said “I’d rather avoid an edit war”. It IS an edit war by definition.

I meant to say I'd rather avoid escalating things, so I apologize for the poor word choice.

While I'm not familiar enough with Ms. Fanservice's ins and outs to weigh in, what Arctimon has been saying is that you've already escalated things at the point in time where you readded your entry. It would've been better to ask this question before you edit warred.

I wasn't aware up until this that reverting an edit even once is already considered edit warring. I'll be sure to avoid it from now on. Actually, I should've asked the question to the Trope Talk forum first and foremost, since that's the proper place for it as another troper messaged me earlier. I already got the answer I'm looking for, so I apologize for the inconvenience.
