This is your last warning. The next time you violate Wikipedia's NPOV rule by inserting commentary or your personal analysis into an article, you will be blocked from editing Wikipedia.

Hi, Joel. I've noticed the problems you are having with editors and admins reverting your edits to the Chavez articles, and that you are inserting well-referenced text into the articles (not personal opinion, NPOV, or original research). Zleitzen is a good editor; it's possible he just isn't aware of how well-covered that story was. Also, some of your inserts are just in the wrong place, and are text about items that are already covered elsewhere. I'm sorry you are getting these unfair warnings, when you should be getting a welcome. It's important for you to know that, whether the people giving you the warnings are right or wrong, WP:3RR is strictly enforced on Wikipedia. I have limited internet access this week, but will be around to help you next week. I suggest that you take this week to read all of the articles, see what's where, in particular read the talk pages, and I'll help find the best sources for the text you want to insert later this week. Please leave me a talk message if I can be of any help. All of the various critics are listed on the talk page, yes, they should be included (and will be included when I have better internet access), and I will leave a talk message to Zleitzen about inserting that information, and leave a message to Nlu about the inappropriate warning (above). In the meantime, sit tight, read the talk pages, see where things stand, and I'll be around more next week to help you out. Welcome to Wiki, I'm sorry for the unfair warnings, best regards, Sandy 14:50, 4 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
