Stop deleting sourced content
If you persist in deleting sourced content, as you have at 9/11 conspiracy theories, you could be blocked from editing. Mr Which ??? 05:33, 19 December 2007 (UTC)

Please review WP:NOR
Wikipedia does not allow original research, which is what your last edit to 9/11 conspiracy theories was. As such, the edit has been reverted. Mr Which ??? 06:02, 19 December 2007 (UTC)

Your edits
Hi, please refrain from adding unsourced POV content to articles. I refer to this: The controlled demolition hypothesis has as its central and inescapable conclusion that such (necessarily) clandestine preparation for demolition and execution on so large a scale must have required a conspiracy vastly larger than any implicated in the officially-endorsed, "airliners-only" scenario; that the actual conspiracy would of necessity have involved many Americans - including several very highly-placed individuals - thus indicting 9/11 as "an inside job", in the vernacular phrasing.

If you insist on edit warring these additions you could certainly be blocked from editing. Please read up on some of our policies here. WP:RS, WP:OR would be good places for you to start I think. Thanks. RxS (talk) 06:10, 19 December 2007 (UTC)


 * You should also note that your edits have been brought to the attention of a larger group via this page RxS (talk) 06:13, 19 December 2007 (UTC)

Please stop. If you continue to vandalize pages, you will be blocked from editing Wikipedia. RxS (talk) 06:21, 19 December 2007 (UTC)

December 2007
You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war. Note that the three-revert rule prohibits making more than three reversions in a content dispute within a 24 hour period. Additionally, users who perform a large number of reversions in content disputes may be blocked for edit warring, even if they do not technically violate the three-revert rule. If you continue, you may be blocked from editing. Please do not repeatedly revert edits, but use the talk page to work towards wording and content that gains a consensus among editors.

Shhhh its a secret
Any real attempt to talk about this reasonably will be shouted down. Please see WP:NOR WP:RS WP:SYNTH. Consider editing something non controversial because editing something as important as the events surounding 9/11 without the proper frame of mind could be considered WP:DISRUPT or worse Vandalism and result in a block. Besides that you cannot stay on line 24/7 to protect the edits that do get in. Don't you have anything better to do with your time. Tony0937 (talk) 16:30, 19 December 2007 (UTC)

Blocked for 31 hrs for edit warring on 9/11 conspiracy theories‎
Mr Stein -

You have repeatedly and significantly edit warred on the 9/11 conspiracy theories article in the last 24ish hours. Without attempting to determine who violated the letter of the WP:3RR policy, it's clear that you chose to engage in an edit war, changing the article forwards and back in conflict with others, rather than discussing in good faith on the article or user talk pages.

Due to that activity, which is the underlying behavior WP:3RR is intended to prevent, I have blocked your account for editing for the next 31 hours. Making 3 reverts within 24 hours is a hard limit, not an entitlement to fight at least that much.

Please keep in mind that Wikipedia editing is supposed to involve discussion and consensus on problem topics rather than fighting by reverting articles to and fro. You have to date completely failed to edit talk pages at all, which is unacceptable behavior for editors engaged in contentious topics.

Please also review our policies WP:NPOV; much of your recent edits were clearly not attempting to remain neutral point of view and encyclopedic in nature. Please also review WP:NOT - Wikipedia is not a place to fight outside battles, nor a soapbox.

If you are interested in building an encyclopedia and understand Wikipedia policies and fundamental goals, you are welcome to resume editing tomorrow when this block expires. If you disagree with those policies, I ask that you find another venue to communicate your message, rather than continue to push up against or past Wikipedia policy. If you continue to edit in violation of policy, you will be warned and blocked again, and if you repeat the behavior consistently you will be blocked from editing forever. We prefer not to do that; we ask that you make a good faith effort to work within our policies and goals, and to discuss and find consensus with others on the project.

Thank you. Georgewilliamherbert (talk) 21:21, 19 December 2007 (UTC)
