Your problem:

Hello, im M.V.E.i. On the page of Ashkenazi Jews, which previously had no photo of chosen people like other people have, i made this photo: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Ashfamo2.JPG It was always deleted by the user Homo Sapiens, It was becaused i inserted an Einstein photo with a tounge out, but i replaced it at a normal one. Homo Sapience started an edit war against me, by deleting my photo all the time claiming it "was no good", until another administrator Liftarn told him it's vandalism and its not the forst time hes doing it so he stoped. Then his friend Metzenberg inserted a new photo instead of mine. I understand that its every editors right to insert somthing new instead of old, but i also used this right to do that and returned mine, and explained why. his photo: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Ashkenazi_collage1.jpg featured many unrecognizable people who are more politicised than gave contrebution, and the trick is to do a photo of people recognizable by all, "the faces of the nation". I offered him a compromise, by doing a three-row image that will feature people from both of our images, but he ignored me and started an Edit War against me. I tried to get a compromise all that time, but it didnt work. Metzenberg started a "cat and mouse" game, Who will get to the 3-revert limit first lost for the day. I said i don't like this game, and keept asking for a compromise, but he ignored and keept the war. He tried to prevent me to put my photo in many ways. He claimed my photo was "sexist because it didnt feature any woman", but i explained that i chose by contribution and not by sex. Then he started editing my photo, and deleted the "i created it myself..." licence and puted a "no licence" claiming its "not known where i took the photos from", while i excplained they were all a free domain taken from wikimedia. Then he keept puting a no licence on mine image saying "its not known where the photo is taken from", and i gave him a link to the photo from the Russian Wikipedia where its shown its a free domain. When he saw that he just cant win, he brought Homo Sapience to help him (2 people-6 reverts. me-3). I keept trying to get a compromise, but it didnt work. I admit, i broke the 3 revert rule. Then the administrator Shirahadasha had seen that i broke the rule, and she gave me a warrning that i will be blocked for that, but i also asked her to learne the case, and she did. She did an excelent job by stopping an edit war and temporrary protected the page from editing. And also i thank her for explaining me some stuff on rules of wikipedia, and teached me to use the four tildes to put a signature on talk pages. Now its under control thanks to her, but she couldn't keep the page protected from editing forever. What should i do when after a time those two will continue? I'm a new user, i came to contribute and not to have an edit war. I have wrote two articles, made a few images and fought wandalism against soma Nazi who wrote Zieg Heil in the Russians article. I dont want it all to be so dirty. I came to conribute i dont understand those populistic ego-games. I can bring many friends to have an Edit War (Like they do!), and ask friends to sign to wikipedia especialy for that, but i DONT want to do it because it will just be a stupid mass-edit war. I need help! Evidence: The Ashkenazi Jews talk-page: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Ashkenazi_Jews A historical Homo Sapianse talke page where you can find down there the warrning from Luthran its wandalism, 4 messegese before the end in the "your not the boss" topic: http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk:Humus_sapiens&oldid=128309459#Your_not_the_boss
