Hi! I've recently locked a few pages that you have edited due to edit warring concerns. I took a look at your edit summaries, and you said in a few of them that you were "undoing vandalism". I wanted to reclarify how we see vandalism, especially when I considered the edits you undone to be in good faith.

A guiding principle on the wiki is to assume good faith of other editors. To put it simply, it's the thought that editors participate in the wiki in order to make it better. If there's a disagreement in terms of what information should be on a page, the main train of thought is that each person wants to make the page better. Removing information is not immediately seen as vandalism, unless in very specific and rare circumstances (like removing everything from a page and writing "Acebatonfan was here!" or replacing the word "noob" with "booger". The stuff is very obviously vandalism).

In the case of you believing the other editor was vandalizing by undoing your contributions, I don't believe the edits were made in bad faith. I agree that it would have been better for him to make his own edits to yours and not undo them, but at the same time I can see why he might have undone the edits (in an attempt to make the page more concise).

Let me know if you have any issues or concerns!
