There are lots of ressource on the web, describing what a _wiki_ edit
war is, like:

The restriction was justified. Edit war is not an acceptable way to
collaborate.
Once your edit was reverted, you should not have reverted again (see
[1]). Instead, you should have discussed about your changes.
BTW, writing in a wiki is like coding, it is a good idea to "split your
patch" so other people understand what you do and why you do it.

This request just proves that you didn't get the point (yet).
/me is looking forward to get some useful contributions from you again.
(Meanwhile, I won't discuss this topic anymore)
