Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia!

Someone using this IP address has made unhelpful edits to the page Wisconsin Rapids, Wisconsin, which have been reverted.

Please stop your disruptive editing. If you continue to vandalize Wikipedia, as you did at New Weird America, you may be blocked from editing. E8 (talk) 04:37, 10 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Welcome to Wikipedia. It might not have been your intention, but your recent edit removed content from Ethnic cleansing with this edit. When removing content, please specify a reason in the edit summary and discuss edits that are likely to be controversial on the article's talk page. If this was a mistake, don't worry; the content has been restored, as you can see from the page history. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia, and if you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. Thank you.

Ethnic cleansing

If a source backing means nothing, then why not delete the whole page? A source backing means everything. The top of the section also states that some of the claims in the article originate from non-experts, e.g. journalists. So I fail to see your reason for removing it...Mato (talk) 12:54, 27 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

There is more than sourcing issues involved. Just because a source confirms information, does not necessarily mean that the information is immediately relevant to the article. There are other issues involved with this information. Such as relevance and weight to the article. Any mundane snippet of information can be sourced, but how does that information relate to the article, and how much weight is attributed to it? These are things that are somehow being ignored at the moment.--JOJ ^Hutton 13:07, 27 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I don't think they're being ignored - relevance and weight to the article is all very well, but that is not why this user was blanking the said sections, if you read his/her edit summaries. They did not say "removing this section - undue weight", they said "So you're black then. Just because someone said it doesn't mean it's true. A source backing means nothing.". That has nothing to do with relevance or weight AFAIK. Mato (talk) 15:10, 27 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war. Users are expected to collaborate with others and avoid editing disruptively.

In particular, the three-revert rule states that:

Making more than three reversions on a single page within a 24-hour period is almost always grounds for an immediate block.
Do not edit war even if you believe you are right.

If you find yourself in an editing dispute, use the article's talk page to discuss controversial changes; work towards a version that represents consensus among editors. You can post a request for help at an appropriate noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases it may be appropriate to request temporary page protection. If you continue to edit war, you may be blocked from editing without further notice.

Please do not attack other editors, as you did at Ethnic cleansing with this edit. Comment on content, not on contributors. Personal attacks damage the community and deter users. Please stay cool and keep this in mind while editing. Thank you, Cst17 (talk) 13:13, 27 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Welcome to Wikipedia! I edit Wikipedia too, under the name Cst17. Wikipedia is an all-volunteer operation, and I'm one of the many volunteers here who help review edits. Everyone is welcome to contribute to Wikipedia, but I noticed that one of your recent edits, such as the one you made to Overpopulation with this edit, seemed to be unconstructive. I have reverted it for now, and ask that in the future you please use the sandbox for test edits, not encyclopedia articles. It also helps to provide an informative edit summary so that other editors like me have a brief description of your change to Wikipedia. If you have questions, you might want to take a look at this tutorial. Also, feel free to ask me questions on my talk page. Cst17 (talk) 18:30, 30 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

This is your last warning. You will be blocked from editing the next time you vandalize a page, as you did with this edit to Overpopulation. Cst17 (talk) 18:42, 30 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Your recent edits

Hello. In case you didn't know, when you add content to talk pages and Wikipedia pages that have open discussion, you should sign your posts by typing four tildes ( ~~~~ ) at the end of your comment. You could also click on the signature button located above the edit window. This will automatically insert a signature with your username or IP address and the time you posted the comment. This information is useful because other editors will be able to tell who said what, and when. Thank you. --SineBot (talk) 18:46, 30 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

You have been blocked from editing for a period of 24 hours for abuse of editing privileges. Once the block has expired, you are welcome to make useful contributions. If you would like to be unblocked, you may appeal this block by adding the text {{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}}, but you should read the guide to appealing blocks first.
