Your recent editing history at Living dinosaur shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war. Being involved in an edit war can result in your being blocked from editing—especially if you violate the three-revert rule, which states that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Undoing another editor's work—whether in whole or in part, whether involving the same or different material each time—counts as a revert. Also keep in mind that while violating the three-revert rule often leads to a block, you can still be blocked for edit warring—even if you don't violate the three-revert rule—should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly.

To avoid being blocked, instead of reverting please consider using the article's talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. See BRD for how this is done. If discussions reach an impasse, you can then post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection.

Misplaced Pages and copyright

Warning icon Hello Hwahl90, and welcome to Misplaced Pages. Your addition to Living dinosaur has had to be removed, as it appears to have added copyrighted material without permission from the copyright holder. While we appreciate your contributing to Misplaced Pages, there are certain things you must keep in mind about using information from your sources to avoid copyright or plagiarism issues here.

It's very important that contributors understand and follow these practices, as policy requires that people who persistently do not must be blocked from editing. If you have any questions about this, you are welcome to leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. Dougweller (talk) 07:28, 20 July 2014 (UTC)

Living dinosaurs

Besides the copyright violation, the unencyclopedic tone, and the fact that your source fails WP:RS for any claim that dinosaurs lived with men, Misplaced Pages relies basically on mainstream sources for its articles. It represents significant minority views as per WP:UNDUE and WP:FRINGE but it will never assert as fact that dinosaurs lived with men. If you can't accept that perhaps you should be editing elsewhere. Dougweller (talk) 07:31, 20 July 2014 (UTC)

Misplaced Pages does not re-post copyrighted material in its articles, even with permission. Mainstream science regards evolution as a theory in the same way that gravity is "just a theory." In science, a theory is an idea that has enough evidence that there's not really any other plausible explanation. Nothing in Biology Makes Sense Except in the Light of Evolution. Non-evolutionary creationism is a poorly evidenced hypothesis (not a theory), really just an ideological rejection of mainstream science and pretense that religion and science are opposed when they aren't. As such, non-evolutionary creationism is treated as fringe and we do not give it equal validity with evolution. Ian.thomson (talk) 17:53, 20 July 2014 (UTC)


Evolution is just a theory not a fact it's a religion just as creationism so to have a neutral point of view both should be allowed. Also evolution does not have a enough evidence to prove it's true creationism has as much prove as Evolution if not more.— Preceding unsigned comment added by Hwahl90 (talkcontribs)

Whatever you want to believe, that's simply not what mainstream science has concluded based on experimentation and observation (such as the E. coli long-term evolution experiment, Peppered moth evolution, and fossil records). Misplaced Pages regards "creation science" and "intelligent design" as fringe ideas, following mainstream science. Believe whatever you want, but know that Misplaced Pages will not support you in attempting to promote those beliefs, and is opposed to giving equal validity and equal weight to ideas rejected by mainstream science. All of those blue words? Those are links to the site policies that represent the collective will of the community, and proof that you will be quickly blocked for trying to promote any sort of belief system. Ian.thomson (talk) 18:51, 20 July 2014 (UTC)

We can agree to disgree. But we live in a free country where theres not just one theory and Misplaced Pages is a neutral place and so they both should be allowed.— Preceding unsigned comment added by Hwahl90 (talkcontribs)

Misplaced Pages is not the United States government. It is a private entity. It is no more required to allow you to host your beliefs than you are required to host equal weight for evolution in your home. See Misplaced Pages:Free speech.
Also, the idea we should treat both ideas as equally valid is not how science works. Science gives validity according to evidence, and Misplaced Pages follows suit. If you want to change Misplaced Pages, read up on evolution (not watered down straw-man arguments made up by creationists) so you know what you're arguing against, get a bunch of real scientific evidence for creationism that isn't misrepresented, misinterpreted, or outright faked; present it in scientific journals with proof that the evidence doesn't support evolution, and change mainstream science.
The idea that Misplaced Pages, schools, or whatever, should present both creationism and evolution as equally true equally insults scientific knowledge and religious belief. It treats both as a matter of opinion, meaning that neither matters and we might as well believe whatever we want. Ian.thomson (talk) 20:51, 20 July 2014 (UTC)

Copyright problem icon Your addition to Living dinosaur has been removed, as it appears to have added copyrighted material to Misplaced Pages without permission from the copyright holder. If you are the copyright holder, please read Misplaced Pages:Donating copyrighted materials for more information on uploading your material to Misplaced Pages. For legal reasons, Misplaced Pages cannot accept copyrighted text, or images borrowed from other websites, or printed material without a verifiable license; such additions will be deleted.

Information icon There is currently a discussion at Misplaced Pages:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents regarding an issue with which you may have been involved. The thread is Young earth creationist pov-pusher repeatedly violating copyright. Thank you. Ian.thomson (talk) 02:03, 21 July 2014 (UTC)

You have been blocked indefinitely from editing for inserting copyright violations into the encyclopedia after repeated warnings. If you think there are good reasons why you should be unblocked, you may appeal this block by adding the following text below this notice: {{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}}. However, you should read the guide to appealing blocks first.  Diannaa (talk) 02:25, 21 July 2014 (UTC)

Request reason:

I though it was ok to use short Quotation but if it not I'll stop it I'm sorry I made some one so mad. thanks Hwahl90 (talk) 4:45 am, Today (UTC+1)

Decline reason:

I don't see any evidence that you understand why your actions violated copyright, nor why this would be an issue on Misplaced Pages. Until you can convince an administrator that you have read and understood the copyrights policy (and this will take more than simply saying "I have read and understood the copyrights policy"), you will not be unblocked.

If you want to make any further unblock requests, please read the guide to appealing blocks first, then use the {{unblock}} template again. If you make too many unconvincing or disruptive unblock requests, you may be prevented from editing this page until your block has expired. Do not remove this unblock review while you are blocked.

You never attributed nor indicated that you were quoting. You just copied and pasted the text in a way that could lead others to believe it was your writing, which is plagiarism, which is nothing short of stealing someone else's writings. You also were told at four different points not to add any material from other sites, but didn't listen. Whether it's refusal to cooperate or sheer incompetence, we don't need it. Ian.thomson (talk) 04:00, 21 July 2014 (UTC)

You did not provide any indication of quotation. Not knowing that does not help your case.
The legal implications of CC BY-SA 3.0 License and the GFDL means that giving permission to the cite would be tantamount to revoking one's own copyright claims. By allowing material from their site to be reproduced here, they would effectively be donating their copyright to us.
Also, just copying-and-pasting instead of summarizing is just lazy and low-quality. Ian.thomson (talk) 04:26, 21 July 2014 (UTC)
