Please refrain from undoing other people's edits repeatedly. If you continue, you may be blocked from editing Misplaced Pages. 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. Rather than reverting, discuss disputed changes on the talk page. The revision you want is not going to be implemented by edit warring. Thank you.

Happy News

] Viriditas has proposed adding new materials to the Jonestown article on the Jonestown conspiracy theory. It can be found under NPOV. But this editor appears shy, and wishes to "discuss" her porposed contributions with you. I told her to add away, improve that article, make those changes. But she won't do so without your input, she wishes to "discuss" this matter with you beforehand because it might be "controversial". I just thought I would let you know.Yachtsman1 (talk) 09:14, 27 June 2009 (UTC)

Second warning: Removal of NPOV tag from Jonestown

Please do not remove maintenance templates from pages on Misplaced Pages without resolving the problem that the template refers to, or giving a valid reason for the removal in the edit summary. Your removal of this template does not appear constructive, and has been reverted. Thank you. Viriditas (talk) 12:42, 27 June 2009 (UTC)

Neutrality Discussion on Jonestown

Done

I'm done with discussing this issue. I keep wondering why an administrator hasn't intervened with what is being said and the attacks upon me and the two of you. There is no doubt in mind that this is simply following an agenda that extends way beyond "fact checking". It's giving me a monstrous headache. Wildhartlivie (talk) 09:03, 28 June 2009 (UTC)

Comment

I saw your comment at ANI. The suggestion to file an RfC about another user's conduct is reasonable. This way you will see if his behavior was problematic, and if the problems persist, you might wish to go with arbitration. My personal advice however is to stop editing "Human right in the US" and do something else. In fact, most of WP articles on controversial subjects are owned by individual users or groups. If someone struggle with them, he ends up as a "problematic user", gets editing restrictions, and so on.Biophys (talk) 03:27, 29 June 2009 (UTC)
