Edit War
Your recent editing history shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war; that means that you are repeatedly changing content back to how you think it should be, when you have seen that other editors disagree. To resolve the content dispute, please do not revert or change the edits of others when you are reverted. Instead of reverting, please use the talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. The best practice at this stage is to discuss, not edit-war; read about 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.

Being involved in an edit war can result in you 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 do not violate the three-revert rule&mdash;should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly.

Hello, I'm Doug Weller. I noticed that you recently removed content from Islamophobia without adequately explaining why. In the future, it would be helpful to others if you described your changes to Wikipedia with an accurate edit summary. If this was a mistake, don't worry; the removed content has been restored. If you would like to experiment, please use your sandbox. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. ''We go by what the sources say. And we are biased towards mainstream sources.'' Doug Weller  talk 14:42, 22 May 2024 (UTC)


 * I provided a clear explanation, stating that Wikipedia has no right to use the word 'irrational' in the context of Islamophobia. The word implies a political bias and is unfounded in any legitimate dictionary. Therefore, I advise you to revert it back to my version as explained in my initial edit. Dingus1233 (talk) 16:17, 22 May 2024 (UTC)
 * Nope, convince people at the talk page. Get consensus. Don't keep trying to force it in. I'm not the only person not happy with your edits.  Doug Weller  talk 16:26, 22 May 2024 (UTC)
 * Consensus should be required to add it, not to remove it. The Oxford dictionary is standard and it features no such description. Dingus1233 (talk) 14:39, 23 May 2024 (UTC)
 * I see you've gone to the talk page, good. I've responded there. Doug Weller  talk 15:29, 23 May 2024 (UTC)

Hi Dingus1233! I noticed that you recently marked an edit as minor&#32;at Karim Ahmad Khan that may not have been. "Minor edit" has a very specific definition on Wikipedia—it refers only to superficial edits that could never be the subject of a dispute, such as typo corrections or reverting obvious vandalism. Any edit that changes the meaning of an article is not a minor edit, even if it only concerns a single word. Thank you. Doug Weller talk 15:32, 23 May 2024 (UTC)


 * That is my mistake, but I see no point in keeping it. It is a moot point, don't you think? Dingus1233 (talk) 17:59, 23 May 2024 (UTC)
 * It’s just that editors seeing that should be able to assume they don’t need to look at it.  Doug Weller  talk 18:15, 23 May 2024 (UTC)

George Wallace Jr
I've reverted that because clearly they wouldn't be Democrats today, just as Wallace isn't. They were Southern Democrats and your edit hid that. Doug Weller talk 14:48, 22 May 2024 (UTC)


 * And? They were members of the Democratic Party, and you have no right to try to work around that. I am aware of the differences between the Democratic Party in the 60s and today, but that is important history to highlight and enlighten people about. You are clearly acting out of bias here, and these revisions seem quite out of line. Dingus1233 (talk) 16:21, 22 May 2024 (UTC)
 * Complain at WP:NPOVN. But do But if it's the history you are worried about, it's at Southern Democrats.  So yes, I'm acting out of bias, it's important to show context - almost always.  Doug Weller  talk 16:25, 22 May 2024 (UTC)

Hello and welcome to Wikipedia. Constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, but a recent edit of yours has an edit summary that appears to be inadequate, inaccurate, or inappropriate. The summaries are helpful to people browsing an article's history, so it is important that you use edit summaries that accurately tell other editors what you did. Feel free to use the sandbox to make test edits. Thank you. Do not threaten people in edit summaries. O3000, Ret. (talk) 22:43, 4 June 2024 (UTC)

 You have been blocked from editing for a period of 2 weeks for disruptive editing at Karim Ahmad Khan, violating the rule about having 500 edits and an account age of 30 days (which you had been warned about) and Islamophobia, reinserting bad edits from 23 May, plus silly threats about others being banned for vandalism. Once the block has expired, you are welcome to make useful contributions. If you think there are good reasons for being unblocked, please review Wikipedia's guide to appealing blocks, then add the following text to the bottom of your talk page:.
