Hello. Please stop changing the league name in the honours section. Whilst I would agree with keeping the league name as it was if the club were no longer members, because the club are still in the league, it is confusing for readers to refer to it by a former name in that section. If you still don't agree, please respect WP:BRD and seek consensus for your change either on the article talk page or at WT:FOOTY if you want to bring it to the attention of a wider audience. If you keep edit warring, the article may be locked or you may be blocked from editing. Cheers, Number5715:00, 17 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Hello again, and thanks for responding rather than carrying on reverting. With regards to your example of Preston, it's not the same thing – the Premier League is a new league, not a renamed Football League.
The mention of locking the page or blocking you was not a comment on your proposed changes or on whose opinion is superior, but a comment on the behaviour of repeatedly making the same change. This is WP:Edit warring, and no exception is made, even if the editor doing it is in the right (of course, being 'right' is often subjective too; I have also previously been blocked for doing this). As you may have seen from the WP:BRD link above, the expected cycle of behaviour is (a) someone makes a bold edit (b) someone reverts it (c) the original editor is expected to start a discussion on why they think their change should be made.
The first writer does not supersede any other nor assumed to be correct, but if a change to their work is reverted, the reverter is expected to gain consensus for that change amongst the Wikipedia community; this can be done by raising the issue on the talk page, or at a wider forum such as a WikiProject or via a WP:RfC. If the first editor is clearly wrong, then the community will usually identify that. Number5716:47, 17 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
