Headings: untouchable user's comments?
[edit]As for your revert on my Heading change in Talk:Atheism:
Calling my edit "editing the comments of others" implies that headings are some kind of personal property that shouldn't be touched.
The guideline saying that you shouldn't edit other people's comments is intended for people not to change the meaning of what the initial contributor wrote. This is inapplicable in the case of headings because those are not signed or otherwise attributed to a precise person by the readers.
Headings are meant for clarity and organization of the talk page, and as per Wikipedia:Talk_page_guidelines#Headings on talk pages they should be neutral and inviting. It is perfectly legitimate to edit them in that sense.
I agree that the word Conjecture does not intrisically mean that it is true or false. Nevertheless, I have personally encountered many situations where it denoted falseness and I gather that it may be used so in other places. Even the slightest ambiguity is unnecessary in a heading, so I consider it legitimate to replace it with the more neutral proposition. Why would you object to that?

WP:3RR
[edit]Here at Wikipedia, we have a three-revert rule to encourage people to discuss controversial changes on Talk pages and to avoid edit wars. Please read and understand this policy, and keep in mind that continued reversion of articles may lead to your being blocked from editing Wikipedia for a period of time. Thank you.—chris.lawson (talk) 20:47, 23 September 2005 (UTC)
Blocked
[edit]I have blocked you indefinitely, since I am sure you are Dot6/Donald Alford and are repeatedly violating the Arbitration Committee's temporary injunction against editing outside of the Arbitration case and your userspace. Use one of your not-yet blocked accounts to edit those pages and those pages alone. If appropriate, once the Arbitrators' have reached a final decision, I or another admin will unblock you. -Splashtalk 05:07, 25 September 2005 (UTC)
