Help me request

I tried to expand this page Ethnic groups of the United Kingdom but only half of my edit shows up. What have I done wrong???  :-(

The ref tags weren't closed properly. I fixed it, [1]. —Centrx→talk • 02:22, 23 December 2006 (UTC)

English people

Ok let's not start an edit war. Your opinion about recent immigrants not being ethnicaly English has been discussed ad infinitum on the English people talk page. There is no consensus one way or the other, but no one has yet provided any evidence that people of Jewish, Indian, Pakistani or West Indian descent cannot consider themselves English. Ethnicity is a complicated concept, but essentially it is about identity. I ask you to read this archive from the English people talk page. If you feel strongly about this then I ask that you re-open this discussion on the talk page. I also ask that you bear in mind that people can have multiple ethnicities and can identify as having membership of many socio-cultural groups. There is an element of ethnicity that is about descent, but it is not a requirement, and most definitions only mention "perceived descent" rather than actual descent. All the best.

Source

Deleting well sourced and cited information valuable to showing the realities of Anglo-Indians in Britain amounts censorship. Please show multiple scholarly/academic sources that Distinguish Indian And British Marriage practices and names,FROM 1700-1945, because I can find any.

The Reverts are SOURCED well and pertain to the relevant section (marriages between Indians and British). It is well established that Indian Traders, Settlers, Workers, Soldiers, and other Indian males intermarried with British in India and Britain in the sources, can you disclaim they weren't Anglo-Indians? Can't make it one-sided... That's Bias. User:Cosmos416 17:37, 16 September 2009 (UTC)

List of parties contesting the United Kingdom general election, 2010

[2] - Yes, but it is number of candidates in United Kindom not in England and Wales. BTW, Yahoo is wrong. It is 338.

British National Party

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war according to the reverts you have made on British National Party. Users who edit disruptively or refuse to collaborate with others may be blocked if they continue.

In particular the three-revert rule states that:

1. Making more than three reversions on a single page within a 24-hour period is almost always grounds for an immediate block.
2. Editors violating the rule will usually be blocked for 24 hours for a first incident.
3. 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 wording, and content 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 edit warring continues, you may be blocked from editing without further notice. TFD (talk) 04:34, 25 January 2011 (UTC)

Please do not remove content or templates from pages on Wikipedia, as you did to Anglo-Indian, without giving a valid reason for the removal in the edit summary. Your content removal does not appear constructive, and has been reverted. Please make use of the sandbox if you'd like to experiment with test edits. Thank you.

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war according to the reverts you have made on Anglo-Indian. 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, Wikipedia's policy on edit warring states:

1. Edit warring is disruptive regardless of how many reverts you have made; that is to say, editors are not automatically "entitled" to three reverts.
2. 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. Drmies (talk) 04:29, 16 January 2012 (UTC)

• I see that you've taken this up on the talk page--good. I also see that you haven't returned to the article--that's also good. It's protected now by another admin. I think you should seek another recourse; I mean "you" in the plural, but your counterpart is not listening. WP:DR is another candidate where you can lay out your case. This long-term edit war has to stop, of course. Thank you, Drmies (talk) 15:28, 16 January 2012 (UTC)

Thankyou. I shall cease edit-warring and attempt to resolve this. My sincere apologies for causing you to expend your time on this. Romper (talk) 03:36, 17 January 2012 (UTC)
