Welcome to Wikipedia, and thank you for your contributions. One of the core policies of Wikipedia is that articles should always be written from a neutral point of view. Please remember to observe this. Thank you. It is important that you give respect to the other side when writing. Wikipedia articles shouldn't make verdicts on which side is right or not.

Edit warring

Since it's obvious the other person doesn't agree with you, it's best to take it to the article talk page, but I'd warn you against advocacy, and you should probably get a new username to avoid giving the impression that you're only here to protest shark fin eating (that's not what Wikipedia is for).Jasper Deng (talk) 06:56, 28 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Your recent editing history at Shark finning shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war. Being involved in an edit war can result in you being blocked from editing—especially if you violate the three-revert rule, which states that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Undoing another editor's work—whether in whole or in part, whether involving the same or different material each time—counts as a revert. Also keep in mind that while violating the three-revert rule often leads to a block, you can still be blocked for edit warring—even if you don't violate the three-revert rule—should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly.

To avoid being blocked, instead of reverting please consider using the article's talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. You can post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection.

Status and Advice

You have two choices.

you can write neutral articles about each of the individuals, if you have specific material.
You can contribute a balanced article about the controversy.

But in either case you may not use POV language, or draw conclusions. The reader will make up their own mind. It does not matter how right you are, or how outraged. Wikipedia is an encyclopedia,and does not exist for the promotion of anything, good, bad or indifferent. From the point of view of an encyclopedia , in fact, the best way to handle a topic like this is to make a strenuous effort to present the facts, without using any adjectives whatsoever. Advocacy belongs elsewhere.

Additionally you must choose a non-promotional user name. To make sure you do, I am blocking this one. DGG ( talk ) 06:58, 28 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]
