Hi Swiftcasting! Thanks for contributing to Wikipedia. |
The article Steven D. Binder has been proposed for deletion because it appears to have no references. Under Wikipedia policy, this newly created biography of a living person will be deleted unless it has at least one reference to a reliable source that directly supports material in the article.
If you created the article, please don't be offended. Instead, consider improving the article. For help on inserting references, see Referencing for beginners, or ask at the help desk. Once you have provided at least one reliable source, you may remove the {{prod blp}} tag. Please do not remove the tag unless the article is sourced. If you cannot provide such a source within ten days, the article may be deleted, but you can request that it be undeleted when you are ready to add one. AussieLegend (✉) 09:36, 7 December 2012 (UTC)
When edits you made to an article are removed, persistently restoring them is edit warring, which is not permitted. Instead we discuss them on the talk page, as is being done, in accordance with Wikipedia:BOLD, revert, discuss cycle. While edits are being discussed, the status quo reigns. As per WP:STATUSQUO, "If you make an edit which is good-faith reverted, do not simply reinstate your edit - leave the status quo up. If there is a dispute, the status quo reigns until a consensus is established to make a change. Instead of engaging in an edit war, propose your reverted change on the article's talk page or pursue other dispute resolution alternatives." --AussieLegend (✉) 02:52, 13 December 2012 (UTC)
You've been mentioned in despatches edit
G'day Swiftcasting. I am posting this as a courtesy since I have indirectly mentioned you in my dispute with AussieLegend over at Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents under the heading Wikihounding by User:Benyoch. AussieLegend also referenced Talk:Steven D. Binder in the dispute concerning my edits to the page which you are probably familiar with. You will also probably be familiar with my level of concern about AussieLegend's methodology in discussion, i.e. his edits. Your post, for example, I really am pretty confused. First, the issue with these few lines were one of verifiability. So the citation was changed to a 100% verifiable source. But then the issue has changed to one of irrelevancy - a position that doesn't seem to rest on the firmest of ground IMHO. This is starting to seem "personal" to be honest. Swiftcasting (talk) 07:31, 12 December 2012 (UTC) resonated with me, significantly. Benyoch ...Don't panic! Don't panic!... (talk) 17:50, 23 December 2012 (UTC)
