Hello, I'm Jim1138. I noticed that you made a change to an article, World Trade Center controlled demolition conspiracy theories, but you didn't provide a source. I’ve removed it for now, but if you’d like to include a citation to a reliable source and re-add it, please do so! If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thanks. Jim1138 (talk) 18:12, 7 April 2014 (UTC)

BTW: I doubt that a fire boat could generate sufficent pressure to get to the 80th floor. The hoses would burst. By the time that would have been organized, the buildings would have collapsed.

People want to be able to verify information on Wikipedia. So, significant edits need have their content cited using reliable sources. See verifiablity. This means that information must be published, and presumably vetted, by reliable groups and individuals. What you should do is to locate a source that supports the edit you wish to make. Then add a citation to that. Peruse wp:welcome to learn about editing Wikipedia. You can also visit the Teahouse for information and assistance. If you have any questions, please feel free to leave a note on my talk page. Welcome and Happy editing! Jim1138 (talk) 18:14, 7 April 2014 (UTC)

Please do not add or significantly change content without citing verifiable and reliable sources. Before making any potentially controversial edits, it is recommended that you discuss them first on the article's talk page. Please review the guidelines at Citing sources and take this opportunity to add references to the article. Jim1138 (talk) 18:17, 7 April 2014 (UTC)

This is your own WP:SYNTH. It is not discussed in your source which is not well cited BTW. Please do not restore it without proper sourcing by a wp:RS. This therefore raises questions why there was no attempt to fight the fire Jim1138 (talk) 18:22, 7 April 2014 (UTC)

Your recent editing history at World Trade Center controlled demolition conspiracy theories shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war. Being involved in an edit war can result in your being blocked from editing&mdash;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&mdash;even if you don't violate the three-revert rule&mdash;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. You can post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection.

 * You appear to be trying to insert your own views on the conspiracy theories, using a tangential reference. Please read WP:RS, WP:NOR and WP:SYNTH.  Acroterion   (talk)   18:27, 7 April 2014 (UTC)
 * To elaborate, is the "this raises questions... " part of the "lessons learned" reference? I very much doubt that any lessons learned article (and you give no indication who wrte it, where it was published, or when) would contain such speculation. You appear to be using this very poorly referenced article as a basis for your own speculation, which is expressly prohibited by the No Original Research policy. If you provide a link to the reference, it would help immensely.  Acroterion   (talk)   18:33, 7 April 2014 (UTC)

This is your last warning. You will be blocked from editing the next time you violate Wikipedia's neutral point of view policy, as you did with this edit to World Trade Center controlled demolition conspiracy theories.  A m i t  웃  18:36, 7 April 2014 (UTC)

Blocked
You have been blocked indefinitely from editing for abuse of editing privileges. 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:. However, you should read the guide to appealing blocks first.

I have not set an expiry for this block, because you have yet to engage with nay Wikipedian in respect of your edit-warring. Once you have engaged and shown that you understand the problem, then we can have a discussion about unblocking, but determinedly adding contentious material to a contentious article is never going to go down well.

Reviewing admins: feel free to unblock without consulting me if you consider that Al Murphy is no longer likely to continue to disrupt Wikipedia. Guy (Help!) 18:48, 7 April 2014 (UTC)
