I am trying to spread truth and good critical thinking, but IP editors keep reverting My well-intention edits! What can I do?

:I'm sorry, "spreading truth?" I think you mean blatantly lying, vandalizing wiki pages, and trolling. Your IP is Cloudflare's and you haven't used this IP to vandalize, but let's be honest, we all know that you're the anti-semitic lunatic who's been trolling and vandalizing pages recently. Just stop.

:: HAVE YOU TRIED WALKING INTO THE SEA (can't find the relevant xkcd sorry) on a more serious note, I'd be for banning IP editors myself, it wouldn't matter much and just stop me from editing on mobile. If the comments section could somehow be left IP editable but not the articles, that would be an interesting Midway point, but any degree necessary is fine.{{unsigned|172.68.78.100}}

Note that the dimension of the shadow should be measured from the centroid of the ring, not from its inner boundary, since this is a greatly unresolved convolution of a sharp, narrow ring with a roughly gaussian beam from the EHT. Considering that, Munroe's dimensions appear to be essentially correct. -astronomer who happened by this page today but doesn't have an account

Images from this page[https://aasnova.org/2019/04/10/first-images-of-a-black-hole-from-the-event-horizon-telescope/] show an exact scale in microarcseconds. 1 microarcsecond at 4.978×10^23 meters away is 2.414×10^12 meters across. And there's 50 of those in that white line. First off, whoa. Second off, the diameter of the orbit of Pluto should then be about 9.788% of the length of the line. I'll leave it to someone else to figure out how that corresponds to the image in the comic exactly.[[Special:Contributions/162.158.62.195|162.158.62.195]] 07:09, 5 May 2019 (UTC)
 
:Sure thing. The comic with scale: https://postimg.cc/nMMjBQFC The original image with scale: https://postimg.cc/Zv9WSX7r Oddly enough, it seems the solar system in the comic is actually a bit small. The "meterstick" is 308 px across, so you would expect the solar system to be about 30 px across, but it's smaller. I'm editing the page to reflect this.
