Editors want to play "God"
It seems like quite a few editors on Misplaced Pages lately want to play "God". They think they have the right to harass and constantly undo changes by other editors because they have a longer history of editing here.
I've thoroughly read the talk page guidelines before and after leaving comments on a talk page. My original intention was to remove my talk page comments on another talk page once the goal was achieved regarding some information on the related user page. I can understand all of the "Gods" out there with their point of not removing my own talk page edits. However, according to the talk page guidelines the basic rule of editing is to not edit or delete the comments of other editors. And regarding my own edits, it is recommended to not remove them but if I do choose to remove them I should state that I removed them and leave a signature.
If Misplaced Pages editors want exclusive control over talk page comments, then that needs to be stated up front. Misplaced Pages is doing a disservice by allowing the "God" editors to lock out accounts and prevent individuals from removing their own talk page comments.
A deal is a deal, and I am following the guidelines that were present when I made my talk page comments. There are nothing wrong with my comments, but ultimately I have the right to remove them. "God" needs to go back and "Read the Guidelines". --ReadTheGuidelines (talk) 19:41, 10 October 2013 (UTC)
There is currently a discussion at Misplaced Pages:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents regarding an issue with which you may have been involved. Thank you. Binksternet (talk) 20:27, 10 October 2013 (UTC)
ReadTheGuidelines, I am concerned that the statement above, which contains "If I need to pursue civil action in order to get this aspect of Misplaced Pages changed I will do that.", might be perceived as a legal threat. Misplaced Pages takes these sorts of things seriously, I urge you to remove that statement as soon as possible. Zad68 21:05, 10 October 2013 (UTC)

Hello, and welcome to Misplaced Pages. You appear to be engaged in an edit war with one or more editors according to your reverts at Talk:Dick Dale. Although repeatedly reverting or undoing another editor's contributions may seem necessary to protect your preferred version of a page, on Misplaced Pages this is usually seen as obstructing the normal editing process, and often creates animosity between editors. Instead of edit warring, please try to reach a consensus on the talk page.
If editors continue to revert to their preferred version they are likely to be blocked from editing. This isn't done to punish an editor, but to prevent the disruption caused by edit warring. In particular, editors should be aware of the three-revert rule, which says that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. While edit warring on Misplaced Pages is not acceptable in any amount, breaking the three-revert rule is very likely to lead to a block. Thank you. GB fan 02:05, 11 October 2013 (UTC)
User:GB you should contact the editor that has been causing the problem User:Binksternet. Those were my comments that I removed, and under the guidelines he has no right to edit my own comments.
- He isn't editing them he is just restoring them so that the conversation makes sense. You are edit warring and if you do not stop you will be blocked. GB fan 02:17, 11 October 2013 (UTC)
Thats abuse of the guidelines of wikipedia by letting another editor edit my comments. You can block me if you want to, because I will continue to delete my comments.
{{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}}. However, you should read the guide to appealing blocks first.During a dispute, you should first try to discuss controversial changes and seek consensus. If that proves unsuccessful, you are encouraged to seek dispute resolution, and in some cases it may be appropriate to request page protection. GB fan 02:25, 11 October 2013 (UTC)
No, I got the message User:Beyond My Ken, so stop criticizing others and go Read the Guidelines since you don't seem to understand them at all. --ReadTheGuidelines (talk) 04:11, 11 October 2013 (UTC)
- Right... I've been here for 8 years, have over 120,000 edits, and have written a fairly perceptive (if I say so myself) exegesis on Misplaced Pages's faults and foibles, but you know the guidelines, and I don't. Ever think that you might be a little full of yourself? Beyond My Ken (talk) 04:22, 11 October 2013 (UTC)
