How do I start editing?

Your edit to homeopathy edit

This is not a minor edit. It is a loaded an enormously controversial one; please do not make it again without discussing it on the talk page first and getting consensus. You may also consider yourself notified that homeopathy is on article probation (see here) which means, basically, diminished tolerance and heightened remedies for hijinks.

March 2008 edit

  Constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, but a recent edit of yours has an edit summary that appears to be inaccurate or inappropriate. Please use edit summaries that accurately tell other editors what you did, and feel free to use the sandbox for any tests you may want to do. Thank you. This is not a minor edit, this edit is more than simply adding a category, as is this one, etc. Yilloslime (t) 19:08, 12 March 2008 (UTC)Reply

Removal of large material edit

Hi, please don't remove huge chunks of information seemingly sporadically without a legit reason and without even going to discussion. Krawndawg (talk) 15:58, 23 March 2008 (UTC)Reply

Please stop edit warring, and be aware of WP:3RR. Krawndawg (talk) 16:35, 23 March 2008 (UTC)Reply
You have been reported already. So you may stop the circus now.PlusDrawn (talk) 16:39, 23 March 2008 (UTC)Reply
I didn't break the 3RR rule, so you reporting me is pointless. Please refrain from making controversial, unsourced changes based on your ignorant point of view without gaining consensus. Your removal of such large amounts of text cannot be seen as constructive. Krawndawg (talk) 16:43, 23 March 2008 (UTC)Reply
Some things I'd like to mention. The reason Japan isn't listed as a potential superpower (and why you'll never find a reliable source calling them one) is because they lack the ability to project military power throughout the world, which is one of the key aspects of being a superpower. They have no nuclear arsenal, and according to their own constitution they're not allowed to use their military for anything other than defending their own country. There is far more to being a superpower than having a strong economy, but even then, their economy has been seeing stagnation as of late whereas India, China and Russia have been seeing economic growth of 8%-11% over the past few years.
As for Russia and India being failed states, that's not true either. Just look at this list. Neither country is listed.
And perhaps you saw those other links I posted about poverty and education. Russia has far less poverty, and is far better educated than China. You grouping Russia in with India in terms of poverty and education just makes no sense at all when you look at real world statistics and real facts. Russia's education system is ranked better than Japan and Germany according to the UN.
So I hope you didn't take my reverts the wrong way, but as I've shown you, your edits do not reflect "common sense" as you put it, and they do not reflect the real world. Please, in the future, just use the discussion page before making controversial changes based on your point of view, and we can avoid this whole mess. Force is usually not the best way to get what you want here on wikipedia. Krawndawg (talk) 17:08, 23 March 2008 (UTC)Reply
