Edit warring
From RationalWikiWiki
Edit warring is repeatedly, persistently changing a particular part of a page over the objections of someone else. This results in volleying between revisions, with one (or more) editor(s) changing something and another (set of) editor(s) undoing the change. Those who engage in it are called edit warriors. It irritates RationalWikans.
There is no real way to prevent edit warring if two or more editors refuse to discuss or compromise; there will be edit wars. Attempts to address the problem by relying on sysops' powers (such as Wikipedia's infamous "Three-revert rule", wherein the article in question is locked and/or the edit warriors blocked temporarily after three volleys over the same part) aggravate feelings and fail even as a method at stimulating the edit warriors to negotiate.
Incrementalist cockroaches have learned patience in 250 million years. Our simple solution is to write the title of the article in a notebook and make the edit five months later when the other guy is gone.
