Regarding your photo addition to Missionary (LDS Church)

Please stop adding the photo to the article until you gain a consensus on the talk page of the article that it should be added. Thank you. -- Gogo Dodo (talk) 06:13, 4 August 2009 (UTC)

August 2009

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war according to the reverts you have made on Missionary (LDS Church). Note that the three-revert rule prohibits making more than three reversions on a single page within a 24 hour period. Additionally, users who perform a large number of reversions in content disputes may be blocked for edit warring, even if they do not technically violate the three-revert rule. If you continue, you may be blocked from editing. Please do not repeatedly revert edits, but use the talk page to work towards wording and content that gains a consensus among editors. If necessary, pursue dispute resolution. tedder (talk) 15:11, 4 August 2009 (UTC)

Sockpuppetry

Hello. You've been accused of sockpuppetry here, and it looks like a pretty clear case. We will leave the case open for a few days and monitor your activity. Please familiarize yourself with WP:MEAT and WP:SOCK and refrain from violating those policies. Thanks, — Jake Wartenberg 23:24, 17 August 2009 (UTC)

Dlull1, I'm pleased to see that the investigation determined it to be unlikely that there was sockpuppetry. I'm sorry that the whole thing came across as unfriendly -- I'm sure from your perspective you were feeling piled on just because of your support for the photo. I want you to know that there was nothing personal in my request for the investigation. When several new accounts all appear around the same time to support a particular position, often (but not always) it turns out that the accounts are operated by the same person who is trying to manufacture a false consensus in her or his favor. Because the symptoms appeared in this case, it seemed the right thing to ask for it to be investigated. I'm glad that you're not behind the other accounts, and I hope that you'll stick around here at Wikipedia and find ways to contribute and improve the encyclopedia. I wish you well. alanyst ^/talk/ 03:13, 19 August 2009 (UTC)
