- That editor had previously removed citation needed tags as well as the term medic. I guess they were not part of that reversion. Regardless, the term army medic is redundant. Civilians are known as paramedics. So, simply "medic" is fine.
- More importantly, Khadr's was convicted, not just charged. This conviction has not been repealed. This conviction is also what Khadr's is most known for. Please discuss on talk page. AcademicHistorian (talk) 22:46, 18 July 2017 (UTC)

Please refrain from making unconstructive edits to Wikipedia, as you did at Omar Khadr. Your edits appear to constitute vandalism and have been reverted.

- Your edit and summary seemed to be intentionally misleading. You removed citations and replaced them with citation needed tags, said "Don't remove citation needed tags" in your summary and and then suggested on the talk page that unsourced material should be removed. Your summary "Don't remove the fact that Speer was a medic" was similarly misleading. No-one removed the fact that he was a medic. You removed "army" from "army medic".

- Well, Trystan had in a previous edit removed the citation needed tags. I thought he/she did the same in this edit as well. Also, there's no point in stating "army medic". Civilians are known as "paramedics". All medics are military by definition, so this is redundant. Most importantly, Trystan is arguing that pleading guilty and a conviction to a crime are synonyms. This is not true. Someone might plead guilty to a crime, but the case could be dismissed, or the charges dropped, etc. The conviction is strangely missing from the lede. This should be in the first sentence. It makes no sense whatsoever to mention the detainment of Khadr without FIRST mentioning the conviction. I'm trying to fix this article FROM disruptive editing, which seem to stem from a POV political beliefs. For example, why is there a photo of a 14 year old, when the man is over 30?

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war according to the reverts you have made on Omar Khadr. Users are expected to collaborate with others, to avoid editing disruptively, and to try to reach a consensus rather than repeatedly undoing other users' edits once it is known that there is a disagreement.
Please be particularly aware that Wikipedia's policy on edit warring states:
- Edit warring is disruptive regardless of how many reverts you have made.
- 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 controversial 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. Meters (talk) 04:37, 19 July 2017 (UTC)
Politics...
editI hate politics on WP, because it always ends poorly. It's obvious that there is POV in the Khadr article (I'm not accusing anyone now, but I'm saying the article was written very pro-Khadr and it's being preserved, purposefully or not). But, my advice is, don't argue with people re these sort of issues. Because the minority position is probably not going to win (from experience). I will do my best to help you keep the article NPOV, but if you edit war you will probably get blocked (noting the warnings; I got a 1 day ban for edit warring a while ago..). I hope this doesn't sound like I am trying to tell you what to do, but I would hate to see you get blocked and have only one side of the Khadr story get shown in the article. Does that make sense? I personally have to be careful with political issues on WP, so maybe I'm projecting. The bottom line is, we have to keep as NPOV as possible, and make objectively good edits. If people revert those, we can discuss that. ‡ Єl Cid, Єl Caɱ̩peador ᐁT₳LKᐃ 13:55, 19 July 2017 (UTC)

Request reason:
As far as I can tell, the editor I am accused of being has never edited any of the same articles as I have. I really don't think this is fair. Maybe I coincidentally have the same ISP as this editor, but so do millions of people. This makes no sense. It also makes me wonder how many innocent editors have been thrown under the bus for nothing. I'm so done with Wikipedia.
Decline reason:
As per Anthony Bradbury's comment below. Yamla (talk) 13:32, 11 August 2017 (UTC)
If you want to make any further unblock requests, please read the guide to appealing blocks first, then use the {{unblock}} template again. If you make too many unconvincing or disruptive unblock requests, you may be prevented from editing this page until your block has expired. Do not remove this unblock review while you are blocked.
- A checkuser block does not depend only on ISP identification. --Anthony Bradbury"talk" 10:17, 11 August 2017 (UTC)
