September 2011

Your recent edits seem to have the appearance of edit warring after a review of the reverts you have made on Granai airstrike‎‎ and Mukaradeeb wedding party massacre. Users are expected to collaborate and discuss with others and avoid editing disruptively.

Please be particularly aware, the three-revert rule states that:

1. Making more than three reversions on a single page within a 24-hour period is almost always grounds for an immediate block.
2. 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. (Hohum ^@) 11:19, 11 September 2011 (UTC)

You have been blocked from editing for a period of 24 hours for edit warring, as you did at Granai airstrike. Once the block has expired, you are welcome to make useful contributions. If you would like to be unblocked, you may appeal this block by adding the text {{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}}, but you should read the guide to appealing blocks first.

During a dispute, you should first try to discuss controversial changes and seek consensus. If that proves unsuccessful, you are encouraged to seek dispute resolution, and in some cases it may be appropriate to request page protection. Wifione ^Message 13:00, 11 September 2011 (UTC)

Why do you block only me and not the other involved editors. In my eyes that looks like Wikipedia is an American website that supports this cover up of the killing of large numbers of civilians by American troops. They obviously f...ked me over.

Calm down

Calm down. You can start editing again after 24 hours. You should try dispute resolution in case you have issues with the consensus on the page. Do not push the revert button simply to prove a point. Discuss, debate and most importantly, use reliable sources to place whatever you wish to say within the article. That's because Wikipedia believes in verifiability, which is a key policy for Wikipedia. Do read it - and you'll understand that verifiability rather than truth is the objective here. Therefore, get reliable sources and include your point of view using those reliable sources, at the same time ensuring that there is no original research and whatever you write is written in a neutral point of view.

That is not ab answer to the question as to why you blocked me but not the other editors who kept removing the massacre category form an incidents that belong in this category. So far you just proved my point that this Wikipedia is full of biased Americans who whitewash massacres committed by American troops in Iraq. Iraqisth (talk) 08:02, 12 September 2011 (UTC)

Please read NPOV and do understand that some editors may not perceive your categorization as adhering to that pillar of Wikipedia. Please don't go down the vindictiveness road - it doesn't help. You were blocked for 3RR. The other editor had not committed that mistake. If he had, I would have blocked him too along with you. In case I'm making a mistake here, write a note on my talk page and I'll check it out. With respect to believing that Wikipedia is full of biased Americans who whitewash massacres committed by American troops in Iraq, you're fortunate that I'm not considering this as a racist remark. But it's quite close - and it could end you up in permanently getting banned from Wikipedia, if you repeat this even once. Yes, there have been cases of Americans going across the line in Iraq - and many have been formally punished too. But that does not give you the license or the freedom to stereotype the volunteer editorial community of Wikipedia in one expansive and vitriolic statement. Therefore, and this is a request, please calm down and don't write such stuff again. I repeat, use the dispute resolution route. It may help in finding consensus where none seemed to exist. I'm always there to assist. Thanks. Wifione ^Message 16:25, 12 September 2011 (UTC)
