Edit Warring

You seem to be edit warring on 2008 civil unrest in Greece. It seems you are already violating the 3 revert rule. [1][2][3][4][5] If there is a major content dispute about something you might try WP:RFC or WP:3O. If you believe User:Lady 6thofAu's conduct is out of line you should open a thread at the incidents section of the administrator's noticeboard. —Nn123645 (talk) 17:57, 11 January 2009 (UTC)

I've just blocked you for violating the WP:3RR policy, failing to reach consensus at the talk page and failing to source your edits. Please don't do that again. -- FayssalF - ^{Wiki me up®} 18:20, 11 January 2009 (UTC)

thanks a lot i am now semi retired from wikipedia i'd like to see you contributing to the article i almost reached to an FA status at parts.--Der_Blaue_Reiter 87.203.206.115 (talk) 18:46, 11 January 2009 (UTC)

Please, please, please don't make things more complex by editing under your IP address - I'm quite prepared to ignore your behaviour thus far but in future, especially if you edit any articles using your IP address (for the duration of your block) then it's likely your IP address will be blocked from editing too, and that the block on your main account could be extended. It's not worth getting yourself into more trouble over - you're able to start editing in just under a day, and I'm sure when you return you'll be less stressed and generally fresher. Sometimes consensus goes against you and there's nothing you can do except sit and do nothing, we've all been there and it's frustrating, but please don't let something like one date put you off from doing good work elsewhere on the article or on the project. We don't really want to lose good editors like you so please don't let one block for edit warring put you off from editing Wikipedia in future. Nick (talk) 19:28, 11 January 2009 (UTC)

Being bold

I had a crazy idea that maybe we should just copy and paste all of the relevant info about the riots, ie the death, the unfolding of events, response, aftermath etc onto the riots redirect page and let the "civil unrest" page be about the other random day by day stuff that everyone feels the need to add even though its not very relevant.

He, you're joking right? you're reffering to the edits done by User:Maziotis. i've opened a discussion thread on his talk page explaining that the rally was connected to an attack against a labor worker and not the death of Alexis. Der Blaue Reiter (talk) 00:25, 30 January 2009 (UTC)

Yea I know. He wants to put every single instance of "civil unrest" in greece on the page whether or not its related to what the page was actually made for. I don't like that. Grk1011/Stephen (talk) 00:29, 30 January 2009 (UTC)

well to be honest events like this happen these days in Greece all the time it seems like it's snowballing. And i can't really blame User:Maziotis at least in his User Page he says he supports anarchism. Other people just hide their POV (for example User:Lady6thofAu).

Yea. It was a nice read when it was developing, but now its a little monotonous, I mean we can't go on each and say some kids attacked the police, some people were arrested, this happened, that happened, or else the page will never be complete. Its at the point now where these daily actions aren't very notable. Grk1011/Stephen (talk) 00:54, 30 January 2009 (UTC)

Hey!

(I replied on my talk page) Check this out: [6].--Michael X the White (talk) 17:40, 30 January 2009 (UTC)

Also have a look at 2008 Greek riots. Cleaning up has escalated to an edit war just because I did it.--Michael X the White (talk) 19:02, 30 January 2009 (UTC)

Can you please contact me by e-mail? There is a little need to! Thank you!--Michael X the White (talk) 19:38, 30 January 2009 (UTC)
