Seeing as you and Damien bombarded the feed with your edit war, I fell that both of you need a lecture. Since you are the senior editor (and your lecture is shorter), I will give you your lecture first so that Damien would not feel like we are bad people.

Since you did try sending Damien a message about what was wrong with his edits, I am not going to explain that when two edtiors cannot reach an understanding, they should sort it out privately to avoid having an edit war. However, you should not act superior in front of new editors. I know that I sometimes have a habit of letting my emotions take over when there is a problem with some editors edit, but you should not repeat my bad habits. And yes, I would have probably undone a lot of his edits too, but that does not mean that we should skip the dialogue and learning phase. I had given WarMachine numerous walls of text before I lost hope of him improving his style and just became annoyed by any edit he made, as they contained the same mistakes over and over again.

Most importantly, do not undo a whole edit if only part of it is bad. It REALLY leaves a bad image (and gets people mad). Try to salvage as much of the edit as possible before undoing them. Grammar and spelling corrections are not redundant. Seeing as we do not have that many editors, it is a bad call to scare off new editors on their first day.

Alright, I think that that is enough for your lecture for now. Please try to avoid edit wars in the future, as I go over every single edit and I hate it when a lot of work piles up over night.
