Welcome to Wikipedia
Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia!

The information on Kory Flowers and Rob Finch in the article on Sovereign citizen movement is being removed by other editors because there is a growing consensus that the information lacks notability. Personally, I commend those in law enforcement who work to expose the crooks involved in this "movement," so I have some sympathy for your material.

However, there are other problems. I would also point at that as far as I can see, your material claims that the SPLC article says that Flowers and Finch led national efforts, whereas as far as I can tell the SPLC article does not say that. Your material claims they have trained 25,000 people, but the article says 5,000. You claim the article says that they have authored numerous articles, but I don't see any reference to that in the SPLC article. Maybe I'm just missing it.

In any case, under Wikipedia rules your repetitive posting of the material might be considered edit warring, which could result in your being blocked from editing. Instead of re-posting the material, try to use the article talk page to discuss your material and get support from other editors. Yours, Famspear (talk) 00:09, 2 April 2013 (UTC)
 * I just want to echo what Famspear has said. This comes across as advertising for Flowers and Finch's training. -- Orange Mike &#x007C;  Talk  03:32, 2 April 2013 (UTC)

Please stop your disruptive editing. If you continue to add soapboxing, promotional or advertising material to Wikipedia, as you did at Sovereign citizen movement, you may be blocked from editing.  Acroterion   (talk)   16:19, 2 April 2013 (UTC)


 * Please stop promoting Flowers and Finch.  Acroterion   (talk)   16:20, 2 April 2013 (UTC)

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war&#32; according to the reverts you have made on Sovereign citizen movement. Users are expected to collaborate with others, to avoid editing disruptively, and to try to reach a consensus rather than repeatedly undoing other users' edits once it is known that there is a disagreement. Please be particularly aware, Wikipedia's policy on edit warring states: If you find yourself in an editing dispute, use the article's talk page to discuss controversial changes; work towards a version that represents consensus among editors. You can post a request for help at an appropriate noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases it may be appropriate to request temporary page protection. If you engage in an edit war, you may be blocked from editing.  Acroterion   (talk)   16:21, 2 April 2013 (UTC)
 * 1) Edit warring is disruptive regardless of how many reverts you have made; that is to say, editors are not automatically "entitled" to three reverts.
 * 2) Do not edit war even if you believe you are right.

Probable block
Given that you've been reverted 4 times and the messages on this talk page, coupled with the fact that you are a single purpose editor editing only on this issue, I am about to block you. If you raise the issue on the article's talk page Talk:Sovereign citizen movement with appropriate sources meeting WP:RS and WP:UNDUE, I may decide not to block.

 * I see that while I was writing this another Administrator blocked you. I still need agreement from you that you won't try to get this back into the article unless there is consensus on the article's talk page. Dougweller (talk) 13:48, 21 July 2013 (UTC)

You have been blocked from editing for a period of 48 hours for edit warring. Once the block has expired, you are welcome to make useful contributions. 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. 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.  Acroterion   (talk)   13:12, 21 July 2013 (UTC)

The block is for long-term edit-warring and promotion of two individuals.  Acroterion   (talk)   13:13, 21 July 2013 (UTC)
