The Age of Reason

edit

Please discuss substantial changes, such as the ones you are making to The Age of Reason, on the article's talk page before making them. Also, please provide edit summaries describing the changes, such as "correcting factual error". Currently, your edits appear to be vandalism. I am going to revert them until we can sort out what needs to be changed. Awadewit | talk 06:40, 18 September 2007 (UTC)Reply

Warning

edit

  Please do not delete content from pages on Wikipedia, as you did to The Age of Reason. Your edits do not appear to be constructive and have been reverted. If you would like to experiment, please use Wikipedia:Sandbox for test edits. Thank you. Awadewit | talk 07:01, 18 September 2007 (UTC)Reply


Regarding reversions[1] made on September 18 2007 to The Age of Reason

edit

  You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war. Note that the three-revert rule prohibits making more than three reversions in a content dispute 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.

I honestly have no clue what you are talking about. I made a few edits to the Age of Reason article and when I was finished, I notice some messages from Awedewit. I never reverted anything--I simply made some edits and was done. Apparently Awedewit did not like the edits I made and, in an abuse of his/her editorial authrity, blocked me from the article. The article is clearly unobjectively written with the goal of subversively discrediting Thomas Paine's Age of Reason with conjecture and personal opinion and superfluous references.

Please read WP:3RR. Undoing people's work repeatedly (e.g. blanking, restoring previously deleted content, etc.) may lead to blocks. At any rate never revert anything but a simple vandalism more than 3 times in any 24 hours. This is a necessary "electrified fence" to prevent infinite revert wars. If you are write somebody else would come and support your edits. Please also read WP:DR for numerous ways to solve dispute conflicts Alex Bakharev 11:02, 18 September 2007 (UTC)Reply

Why is it vandalism from me to edit the article, bu not vandalism for Awadewit to constantly delete everyone else's edits?! Jsust because Awadewit has more time than everyone else to monitor this article and condemn edits to it, it does not mean Awadewits viewpoints are more correct, appropriate or neutral!Pitythafoo 19:21, 18 September 2007 (UTC)Reply

Your recent edits

edit

Hi, there. In case you didn't know, when you add content to talk pages and Wikipedia pages that have open discussion, you should sign your posts by typing four tildes ( ~~~~ ) at the end of your comment. On many keyboards, the tilde is entered by holding the Shift key, and pressing the key with the tilde pictured. You may also click on the signature button   located above the edit window. This will automatically insert a signature with your name and the time you posted the comment. This information is useful because other editors will be able to tell who said what, and when. Thank you! --SineBot 08:44, 18 September 2007 (UTC)Reply

Talk page etiquette

edit

Please do not change the words of other editors on talk pages. Changing someone else's review, as you did at The Age of Reason, is not acceptable. Please read some of wikipedia's policies before continuing to edit, such as Wikipedia:Talk page guidelines. Thanks. Awadewit | talk 09:57, 18 September 2007 (UTC)Reply

I'm not quite sure what you're talking about...Pitythafoo 11:08, 18 September 2007 (UTC)Reply

You changed the Good Article review (GA review) from months ago from "aye" to "nay" in places. That is someone else's review - you cannot change their words. That was their assessment. Your opinion has already been made known on the talk page. Thanks. Awadewit | talk 11:35, 18 September 2007 (UTC)Reply
My misunderstanding--I've been trying to understand how this system works and did not know that was someone else's review. I apologize to the author of that review.Pitythafoo 19:22, 18 September 2007 (UTC)Reply

Just so you know. A thread involving you has been started on Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents. --OnoremDil 11:52, 18 September 2007 (UTC)Reply
