Your recent edits
[edit]I'm sorry you appear unwilling to visit wp:reliable, or engage in any kind of discussion over this matter. In the hope that we can resolve this amicably, I have reported your actions here. I'd rather not see any sanctions taken against your account, I just want someone to explain the way things work around here.
You cannot justify the reliability of a source by saying "it is, stop being obnoxious". You must demonstrate that it is reliable according to wp:reliable. Parrot of Doom (talk) 21:15, 28 August 2009 (UTC)
August 2009
[edit]You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war. Note that the three-revert rule prohibits making more than three reversions on a single page within a 24 hour period. Additionally, users who perform several reversions in content disputes may be blocked for edit warring even if they do not technically violate the three-revert rule. When in dispute with another editor you should first try to discuss controversial changes to work towards wording and content that gains a consensus among editors. If that proves unsuccessful you are encouraged to seek dispute resolution, and in some cases it may be appropriate to request page protection. Please stop the disruption, otherwise you may be blocked from editing. – B.hotep •talk• 21:34, 28 August 2009 (UTC)
Personal attacks
[edit]Do not make personal attacks against other editors, as you did in this edit summary. Wikipedia editors are always civil, even when they disagree. Usually, they are civil because that's the right thing to do to make the encyclopedia better, and not because they know that they will be blocked for ongoing rudeness to others. -FisherQueen (talk · contribs) 21:40, 28 August 2009 (UTC)
