:{{reply to|Potscamp}} I'm not saying that I'm more qualified or that my edits take precedence. But you can't simply revert edits because they were made by someone not affiliated with your organization. We're all working together here, and I'm trying to help improve the article. That's just how Wikipedia works with the collaborative editing process. Again, if you have specific issues with specific edits, I'm happy to discuss them here and we can build a consensus, but it seems you reverted edits simply because it was someone else making them. That goes against Wikipedia's spirit and policies. I'm here to help out, and I'm not trying to attack you or your contribution.

Ownership

Hi @Potscamp:! I just received your email, and I wanted to address it here on the Talk page. The email I received was: "Who are you and why do you think you have a right to edit the article for OLD KIA KIMA? I represent Old Kia Kima. I wrote the original article. I am the website administrator for Old Kia Kima."

First off, welcome to Wikipedia! And thank you for writing this article! As you know, Wikipedia is dedicated to collaborative editing, and as stated in WP:OWNERSHIP, "an organization that is the subject of an article does not own the article, and has no right to dictate what the article may say." My edits were not intended to be adverse and were intended to improve the article. For example, the additional categories I added increase the visibility of the article, and the changes to the infobox help promote uniformity with other similar articles. We also don't need to use Redirect template for "OKKPA" since there is no other article currently that the abbreviation could refer to. Do you have issues with any specific edits I made? Let's build consensus here on the Talk page. Deflagro Contribs/Talk 18:28, 16 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
