Washington post retract

edit

Washington post retract:

This article about the community organizing group ACORN incorrectly said that a conservative journalist targeted the organization for hidden-camera videos partly because its voter-registration drives bring Latinos and African Americans to the polls. Although ACORN registers people mostly from those groups, the maker of the videos, James E. O'Keefe, did not specifically mention them.

The article was not fully retracted. There was no mention of Latinos nor African Americans in ACORN 2009 undercover videos controversy Therefore I have fully reverted your edits. Please discuss this on talk:ACORN 2009 undercover videos controversy before further edits to ACORN 2009 undercover videos controversy. Thank you. Jim1138 (talk) 04:06, 3 March 2012 (UTC)Reply

      Jime1138 I never said the articled was retracted. Please pay attention. The statement was retracted and quoting half of a retracted statement is 

misleading. Get a life because you are obviously enjoying having this terribly biased article out to mislead the public. Did you choose to suck at life or are you paid to do so?

Edit warring

edit
 

Your recent editing history at ACORN 2009 undercover videos controversy shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war. Being involved in an edit war can result in you being blocked from editing—especially if you violate the three-revert rule, which states that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Undoing another editor's work—whether in whole or in part, whether involving the same or different material each time—counts as a revert. Also keep in mind that while violating the three-revert rule often leads to a block, you can still be blocked for edit warring—even if you don't violate the three-revert rule—should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly.

To avoid being blocked, instead of reverting please consider using the article's talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. You can post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection.
