[edit]Welcome to Wikipedia. Please be aware of Wikipedia's policy that biographical information about living persons must not include unsupported or inaccurate statements. Whenever you add possibly controversial statements about a living person to an article or any other Wikipedia page, as you did to Thilo Sarrazin, you must include proper sources. If you don't know how to cite a source, you may want to read Wikipedia:Referencing for beginners for guidelines. Comparisons to Hitler in an article are always a slippery slope; I wouldn't make the comparison unless multiple reliable sources have done it. Thank you. —C.Fred (talk) 14:15, 15 September 2011 (UTC)
Your recent edits seem to have the appearance of edit warring after a review of the reverts you have made on Thilo Sarrazin. Users are expected to collaborate and discuss with others and avoid editing disruptively.
Please be particularly aware, 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 the 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 engage in an edit war, you may be blocked from editing without further notice. —C.Fred (talk) 14:15, 15 September 2011 (UTC)
Your edit
[edit]You have completely misunderstood why you are being reverted. You've written "He reintroduced (for the first time on a massive scale since Hitler) the concept of genetic inferiority (now of the Turks and Southeners) into German popular culture and dialogue." Now this may be true, and you are not being reverted because people support him. The problem is that you have no source for this. Please read WP:VERIFY and WP:RS. You absolutely must have a very good source for all of this claim, and would probably have to say 'So and so says' etc. This is simply the way we work, our articles are based upon what reliable (by our criteria) sources have to say about a subject. And when the subject is alive, we are particularly careful, see WP:BLP. And please don't attack other editors, see WP:AGF and WP:CIVIL. Have you read the edit summaries of those reverting you? See ]]WP:Edit summary]]. As you can't edit the article again today without being blocked, and as you in any case are being reverted, find some sources and take it to the talk page of the article, explaining (politely please) what you want to say and what your sources are. Thanks. Dougweller (talk) 16:16, 15 September 2011 (UTC)
Please refrain from making unconstructive edits to Wikipedia, as you did at Talk:Thilo Sarrazin with this edit. Your edits appear to constitute vandalism and have been reverted or removed. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. Thank you. Wikipelli Talk 18:35, 15 September 2011 (UTC)
