Please refrain from undoing other people's edits repeatedly. If you continue, you may be blocked from editing Misplaced Pages under the three-revert rule, which states that nobody may revert a single page more than three times in 24 hours. (Note: this also means editing the page to reinsert an old edit. If the effect of your actions is to revert back, it qualifies as a revert.) Thank you. --Sam Blanning 23:39, 17 September 2006 (UTC)

I do understand that this is a childish game. But User jeff3000 and his friends have launched a personal war against this article, Iran and the Iranian people. The link was supposed to be toward the Iranian people in the article. They keep changing it to link to Iran instead. This does not make any sense. Iran is not the same as Iranian People. I have been arguing with them w/o success. Instead they have become more and more aggressive. So you could as well advice them, since I am incapable of speaking their language. Regards.--Axam 23:54, 17 September 2006 (UTC)

Please don't get into hyperbole. You have blanked the pages which clearly show that as per Misplaced Pages policy, the link was being disambiguated, and you reverted that, starting making personal attacks, and so forth, and gone way past 3RR. Iranian peoples is definitely not the correct link as it is an article about a larger ethnic group, and not only the citizens of the country of Iran, that is spread in a wide geographical area. -- Jeff3000 00:03, 18 September 2006 (UTC)

Have you read the Iranian peoples article. It does not refer to the citizens of Iran, but to people who speak the general Iranian languages from Turkey all the way to India. From that article:

"The Iranian peoples live chiefly in the Middle East, Central Asia, the Caucasus, and parts of the Indian subcontinent, though speakers of Iranian languages were once found throughout Eurasia, from the Balkans to western China. As Iranian peoples are not confined to the borders of the current state of Iran, the term Iranic peoples is sometimes used as an alternative in order to avoid confusion with the citizens of modern Iran."

Clearly people who live in the Balkans or China are not the ones doing anything in Mellat Park. -- Jeff3000 00:16, 18 September 2006 (UTC)

I was unaware that you had removed previous warnings from your talk page. I only refrained from blocking you for violating 3RR previously because I was under the false impression that you had not been warned, as you clearly intended. Consequently I have blocked you for 24 hours. Do not remove any more warnings or you will become unable to edit your talk page. Read about how we resolve disputes (not by edit warring) and come back tomorrow. --Sam Blanning 00:14, 18 September 2006 (UTC)

Note that further baseless accusations of sockpuppetry, vandalism etc. and other incivility and violations of assume good faith will also not be tolerated. --Sam Blanning 00:18, 18 September 2006 (UTC)

It's sad to find out the true nature of those hidding behind the facade of Misplaced Pages. How disgracefull.--Axam 00:38, 18 September 2006 (UTC)

Seriously, you are not doing yourself any favours by assuming bad faith in your fellow editors. If you have a specific query about an action then state it without referring to the person as not sincere. Ansell 00:43, 18 September 2006 (UTC)

Edit summaries

Please use edit summaries to explain your edits to other users. Also please see the Original research policy for an explanation of why the entire sentence you have been edit warring over is not acceptable for Misplaced Pages. Cheers, Ansell 00:15, 18 September 2006 (UTC)

So who lives in Iran? Who tags the train? French? Martians? or کانادایهایه بی شعور؟--Axam 00:24, 18 September 2006 (UTC)

Ansell is referring to Misplaced Pages's verifiability policy; everything needs a source. Jeff3000 00:28, 18 September 2006 (UTC)

Ansell بی شعور is wished good luck. --Axam 00:50, 18 September 2006 (UTC)

Block evasion

If you continue to attempt to evade your block , the block on your account will be extended. Come back tomorrow or don't come back at all. --Sam Blanning 01:35, 18 September 2006 (UTC)

so now I can't even defend myself by replying to the attacks? Feeling though behind your screen boy?--Axam 01:48, 18 September 2006 (UTC)

Axam, please remain civil, as all who have been talking with you have been. The edit diff that was shown to you clearly demonstrates your IP address reverting the page to the version which you have been supporting. Misplaced Pages policy is clear that if you have been blocked, you are to refrain from editing any pages with the exception of your talk and user pages. This limitation extends to using IP addresses and socks in this manner. I would ask you to please calm down and rethink your behavior. A single paragraph about a train is not worth a permanant block, is it? Ex-Nintendo Employee 01:55, 18 September 2006 (UTC)
