A text move involves two steps:
- cutting a disputed passage of text from an article; and,
- pasting the text into the article's talk page
Those who do not want to start an edit war should avoid reverting a text move. It's better to to discuss the disputed passage with other contributors.
There are certain times and places at Misplaced Pages where this is the rule (this definition is part of a policy proposal used in Mediations).
- Question: When you say "revert," do you mean to try to avoid reverting the "source" page (such as the article on Terri Schiavo), where the "cut/copy" occurs or do you mean the "destination" page (such as the talk page where the "paste" occurs? Thanks!--GordonWattsDotCom 23:26, 20 July 2005 (UTC)
