I was editing the article Gaza flotilla raid, and added some information that I believe is critical to the event to the lead. Some other editors dispute this, and they reverted. I reverted back, and started a discussion on the talk page. However, one of the editors started a new thread about the same subject, and within about three hours reverted my edit without having reached a consensus. I (and some other editors) still believe that the information in question is critical to the conflict, and should go in the lead. I went ahead and restored the information in the lead while also continuing the discussion. I want, however, to make sure that I am not doing anything wrong. Is it okay that I reverted the edit made without giving me/other editors sufficient time to see the new thread and discuss?
I know that they should not have reverted without waiting for at least a day to give time for all parties to respond. What I am not sure is whether it is okay that I reverted after they violated this principle. ManasShaikh (talk) 05:12, 8 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
On one of ships, the MV Mavi Marmara, after IDF commandoes rappelled onto the deck, activists fought the Israeli boarding party with metal clubs and other weapon.[1][2][3][4] Nine activists were killed by Israeli soldiers during the clash, some shot from behind at close range. [5][5][6][7][8] Several dozen other passengers and seven Israeli soldiers were injured, some allegedly from gunshot wounds.[9][10][6] Passengers, including reporters on board,[11] say that the Israelis opened fire before boarding, while Israelis say that the firing occurred after soldiers were ambushed by passengers.[12][13][14][15][16] Different accounts disputed whether the activists used the soldiers' pistols against them.[17][9]
