In this case, I'm amazed saying "Australia is a republic" isn't
being counted as simple vandalism. Repeatedly putting in misleading
and plainly factually incorrect information certainly counted as
vandalism when User:Michael was going hogwild at it.
Tsk tsk, David. Respect the process. You must leave the erroneous
information in, and attempt to reason with the inserter on the Talk: page.
People who revert are simply thinking like an "edit warrior". I'm sure
the
postings on this list, including those from the person promoting the
"Australia is a republic" idea itself, have made it quite clear that a few
well-chosen words in Talk: will have the person promoting the idea that
"Australia is a republic" repudiating his views and voluntarily reverting
his contributions in no time at all.
This is precisely the case. I can be swayed by facts and checkable
sources. Abuse and hand-waving just doesn't do it for me.
