Forums > Administrators' noticeboard archive > NB:Edit reversion without explanation

Hello there,

So yesterday, I tried to expand upon the development of The Rise of Skywalker by adding a section going into more detail about what Colin Treverrow's version of the film "Duel of the Fates" would have been about, much in the same way that an article on A New Hope would go into detail about "Adventures of the Starkiller, Episode I: The Star Wars".

All the information I used was from (as far as I could tell) reliable sources and I had all my references added as well as building upon an existing citation that confirmed the leaks as legitimate from Treverrow himself. I thought that if there were any issues, they would either improved by other users or at least give an explanation for why it was reverted so I could go back and make the improvements myself.

Instead, I simply had it reverted almost automatically, and my attempts to contact the admin responsible have gone without response, so I'm hoping I might get a response here, if only to get some constructive feedback so that I can go back and iterate upon what I've already done, as I feel like it is important to document Treverrow's version of the film, now that we have confirmed details about it. If it needs more sources, I can track them down and give greater clarification in that area. And if it was a formatting issue, that is even easier to fix.

Any insight on this would greatly be appreciated.

  • The information is a leak, there's no official confirmation that everything is true. There's just a Colin Trevorrow tweet that confirms that R2-D2 was set to appear and that he would get damaged. --DarthRuiz30 (talk) 19:48, April 27, 2020 (UTC)


  • It's up to DarthRuiz to explain why he reverted you, but having a look at the edit history, I would say that it was probably because it was low quality, and we're not very forgiving on large edits who don't stick to the policies and the level of quality we expect, especially on a major page like Ep9. In this case, it's missing references and the formatting is all wrong, to point the major flaws. I would encourage you to try your hand on easier things, to pay attention to the work of experienced editors, and to gain some more wiki experience before tackling something like that. Don't hesitate to ask questions, editors tend to try to help each others, if you don't understand things, but in doubt, always try first to consult the policies. --NanoLuukeCloning facility 11:01, April 24, 2020 (UTC)
