Recore content removal dispute

Yell? I have had two editors come in, and instead of constructively helping me build the article to what they view as "correct", they just delete it about sixty-thousand times for no other purpose than to toy around with me. Closely copying is when you change two words and leave the rest be. In my case however i have already completely paraphrased the text. There is only so far you can go on a text before it no longer pertains accurately to it's topic. Wiki policy also states, "If you think an article needs to be rewritten or changed substantially, go ahead and do so, but it is best to leave a comment about why you made the changes on the article's talk page." Further, you both have been working off of an objectionable point of view, as i can claim that it is not too similar, and you can claim it is, there is no standard here to distinguish who is right and who is wrong. Please do not get me wrong, I am not trying to fight with anyone, though it may seem so as i am a little frustrated, but in my absence here, i have been working on Halopedia, and Destinypedia, to give me some basic experience in the field, as last time, I had an admin all up in my gravy after less than a month for no other reason than that I was practicing wiki tools on my personal works. If you guys could show me how the article can be properly paraphrased without deleting it, instead of just making claims and hitting the erase button, maybe i could learn how things are done, and you don't have to call in a higher admin to settle this. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Arcmind (talkcontribs) 12:28, 12 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

No one is "toying" with you; Bold, revert, discuss is how things generally work around here. No one intends any offense. Is there a reason you don't simply write a summary of the plot in your own words? The text is not paraphrased, simply rearranged. 331dot (talk) 12:31, 12 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I understand you don't mean offense, but that OTHER editor is the one who started going button happy. Rearranged would be retaining exact wording but in different order, which i could demonstrate if you like. Paraphrasing it making sure to capture all of the relevant info about the setting to help readers gain a clear view of the situation. If I paraphrase the way that other editor thinks, i will have a page that says nothing but what it says in the overview. The whole point of me adding this section in the first place was to elaborate on the "summary" up top. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Arcmind (talkcontribs) 12:37, 12 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
