→Look at this trolling edit
::::::::I still don't buy it. On Simpsons Wiki, we had an admin outright vandalize the entire wiki due to throwing a fit, basically changing it to claim it dealt with AIDS. And we also had something similar happen across Wikia at the time when some admin jerks at the Mass Effect Wiki decided to vandalize whole Wiki sites enmasse. If anything, stuff like that is one reason a rule of not reverting an Admin shouldn't exist. Let's suppose I were a CP Admin, and I decided to vandalize a page thinking as an admin, I could do so. Would you follow the rule and avoid reverting my edit under any circumstances, or would you do whatever it takes to stop vandalism? Me? I'd probably do whatever it takes to restore edits and undo vandalism, even if said vandalism was done by an admin. Besides, you still haven't explained HOW Northwest's edit was vandalism. If anything that edit you undid on Bernie Sanders' article came far closer to meeting the definition of vandalism than Northwest's edit.

:::::::::That's an interesting policy question, however, it has nothing to do with fitting The Gateway Pundit citation into the body of text in the ==Communism in the USA== subsection rather than the Intro. On most all wikis the rule is discuss before revert. You have been invited here to discuss language to insert The Gateway Pundit article about blocking a highway into the body of text. By reverting an Admin, and failing to comply with proper requests however, you're taking unnecessary risks. [[User:RobSmith|RobS]]<sup>[[User talk:RobSmith|Free Kyle!]]</sup> 03:57, 11 May 2021 (EDT)
