I have repeatedly changed an article’s content to be more accurate and Cited sources; yet, whoever is responsible keeps removing my edits. What am I supposed to do? Is it a war of attrition?

@Joehl1103: It's definitely not supposed to be a war of attrition! Sorry about the frustration. The way it's supposed to work is that if you can't agree on a solution, you'll have to take it up on the article talk page. This is not uncommon when two persons disagree on what an article should look like.
This is what I would do:
- Write an explanation of why your edits will make the article better and post at the bottom of the article talk page. Sign with ~~~~ which will add your username and a time stamp.
- Look at the history tab. Do you know how to see the article history? There you can find who has removed your content.
- Go to their user page, write a polite note and tell them you have started a conversation on the article talk page and invite them to participate to see if you can agree on a way forward.
Thank you. I will give this a try!
