Sorry, my fault entirely. I'm not intentionally trying to subvert edit war rules, I just forget that it still counts as one even after time has passed. That and I thought that "this is how official media is doing it" would be a valid reason for the most recent edit.

As for not going to Discussion, you're right, I should have. It's just that... it often feels like it would be ineffective, as I don't go into Discussion often and I get the feeling others don't either so people wouldn't even see the topic.

But ultimately, I was in the wrong and I'm sorry.

All I can do is really bump this so a Mod can handle anything. I also can't remember how to tag others to here, so they can explain why they didn't at least send you a PM or something. I randomly noticed this and wasn't involved at all.

Bump. To clarify, I'm not a Mod. I can't just say "it's okay". I know this sounds somewhat passive-aggressive(and I apologize for that), but there's little I can do here. I don't know what the resolution for this situation would be appropriately. >.<

I'm...confused. The only other person who replied to this inquiry was the person in question, and you seem to be acting like the problem is still persisting. Did you talk to Dragon Ranger over the past week?

My understanding was Edit Wars were an automatic suspension regardless(as it's what I read on the Edit Banned/Suspended thread quite a few times). While it's technically resolved, I actually have never dealt with a situation like this where the user immediately understood the issue. That's why I'm waiting on a Mod to comment, so any actions can continue without issues.

So the issue is I'm waiting for a Mod to say something.

I think Irene is waiting for mod okay first otherwise punishments for Edit Warring would be handed out for any more back-and-forth edits. Dragon Ranger was notified of the problem and has ceased editing the page. I don't see any public discussions though, but there might be one via P Ms.

For now though we just have to wait for a mod's response before edits can resume since the edit war has stopped after Dragon Ranger was notified.

EDIT - Ninja'd.

Pretty much. The edit warring stopping doesn't mean we can do what we want. That's not my call to make. Don't get me wrong. I do think we should move on, but I don't know the proper procedure here.

Also, I do like the idea of bringing it to the Discussion as is. Once we got this figured out, I'll tag the rest of the users as best as I can(I admit the tagging system here is difficult to use).
