- Thank you for initiating a discussion on the talk page. See my comment there. On a broader scope, your recent actions were deleting the entire "Discrimination" template and thus removing the template's contents from every article in the series. To specifically address your concerns, you should have removed the words 'Pollitically Correct' from [Template:Discrimination sidebar] and should have removed the tag {discrimination} from the [Politically Correct] article itself. This would have left the template intact for the other articles of the series. TheRedPenOfDoom (talk) 18:21, 8 April 2008 (UTC)

Template:Discrimination sidebar
[edit]You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war. Note that the three-revert rule prohibits making more than three reversions in a content dispute within a 24 hour period. Additionally, users who perform a large number of reversions in content disputes may be blocked for edit warring, even if they do not technically violate the three-revert rule. If you continue, you may be blocked from editing. Please do not repeatedly revert edits, but use the talk page to work towards wording and content that gains a consensus among editors. If necessary, pursue dispute resolution. Celarnor Talk to me 17:55, 8 April 2008 (UTC)
