Edits made solely to enforce any clearly established consensus are exempt from all edit-warring restrictions.
Edits made which remove or otherwise change any material placed by clearly established consensus, without first obtaining consensus to do so, may be treated in the same manner as obvious vandalism.
In order to be considered "clearly established" the consensus must be proven by prior talk-page discussion.
Reverts of edits made by anonymous (IP) editors are exempt from the 1RR but are subject to the usual rules on edit warring. If you are in doubt, contact an administrator for assistance.
Whenever you are relying on one of these exemptions, you should refer to it in your edit summary and, if applicable, link to the discussion where consensus was clearly established.

I noticed the Personal Life - Drunk Driving section doesn't say anything about driving while intoxicated, only about driving on a suspended license and speeding tickets, etc. Concerned about the BLP rules for that. Thoughts? Kirby777 (talk) 01:50, 17 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
I have removed the word "drunk" because it does not appear in the references. Cullen328 (talk) 02:02, 17 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
