Content policies, consensus building, and editing restriction
Misplaced Pages is a collaboratively built encyclopedia. As such, it is important for you to work with other editors on articles. To do this effectively, you need to use the article talk page to reach consensus as to how to fashion an encyclopedia article that does not contain original research, is verifiable, and is written from a neutral point of view. All of these are core content policies that all articles and editors need to follow.
You have been repeatedly editing some contentious topics without using the talk pages. This is problematic; you can't reach agreement with other editors without talking with them.
You were formerly warned about this with respect to articles related to 9/11, which are subject to a special restriction due to a long history of problematic editing by many editors. Despite that warning, which you saw, you have continued repeating edits without using the talk page to reach consensus, on both Template:911tm and Controlled demolition hypothesis for the collapse of the World Trade Center. Accordingly, you are being placed on a reversion restriction. For the next three months, you are placed on a restriction of 1 revert per page per fortnight (1 revert every two weeks), and required to engage in talk page discussion every time you revert. An edit is a revert if it restores the article to a state it was previously in. (The history tab lets you see prior versions.) Excluded from this limitation is reversion to eliminate obvious vandalism, such as when someone adds bathroom stall graffiti type content to an article. GRBerry 13:45, 21 April 2008 (UTC)
