I Reduced Your Block

To one day, just so you know, Northwest is one of the admins on this site. If an admin reverts your edit, don't change it back. Discuss it first. Shobson20 (talk) 23:34, 23 December 2018 (EST)

Actually, he is not an "admin" (the list is here), but an "assistant", sometimes informally called a "Sysop" (the list is here).

Admins (and Andy Schlafly is one, obviously), set the policy for articles and various editorial issues. You must not revert, or otherwise get into edit wars with, admins. In fact, you shouldn't get into edit wars with anyone. Discuss your objections on the article's talk page.

Assistants are entrusted with the power to block people for vandalism, and to put a stop to edit warring, as happened to you. See [1]. I don't know whether your edits constituted vandalism, but they seem to have constituted edit warring with the site owner. That is an extreme no-no.

I recommend that you get accustomed to how things are done here, and be very careful about getting people riled up. I've been here for 10 years, and I still occasionally get people riled up. You need to be particularly careful about "editorial flagship" articles, which the "Conservative of the Year" articles are. After a while you will get a feel for which articles and topics are sensitive.

I don't know what the issue with Ben Shapiro is. You obviously ruffled some feathers there. You shouldn't do it. I don't know whether that constituted vandalism.
