Edits of Westboro Baptist Church
Changing "Westboro Baptist Church (WBC) is a controversial church, considered by many to be a hate group" to "Westboro Baptist Church (WBC) is a controversial hate group, considered by many to be a hate group" is not a helpful edit. Please don't change words because of your personal dislike of them when those changes lead to a nonsensical sentence. The Westboro Baptist Church is a church, and is properly referred to as such, and Wikipedia isn't going to stop referring to the church as a church just because you don't like it. Do not make this sort of change without prior discussion and prior consensus on the article's talk page. - Nunh-huh 17:50, 9 October 2007 (UTC)

They're not a church, that's how they evade paying taxes. Also, how are they not a hate group? There's reliable sources quoting them as a hate group. ≈  Maurauth  ( Ravenor ) 17:51, 9 October 2007 (UTC) You've been warned. Do not violate the WP:3RR. Please read the sentence you produce through your change. They are a church, whether or not you like that definition. It makes no sense whatsoever to say "they are a hate group considered to be a hate group". Your behavior and your reversions despite being informed that your edits are - at best - problematic are inappropriate and may lead to your being blocked. - Nunh-huh 17:56, 9 October 2007 (UTC)

You can hardly talk, you've already broken the 3RR. Also, I don't see how calling a hate group a hate group is "problematic" or "inappropriate", infact you may be blocked for breaking the rules. ≈  Maurauth  ( Ravenor ) 18:38, 9 October 2007 (UTC)
 * No, I haven't. Please don't make more false statements; now is the time for you to stop and actually think about your behavior, rather than reflexively defend it. You can start by assessing why the sentence "they are a hate group considered to be a hate group" should exist. In your editor review you note that you need to work on assuming good faith and being polite: this would be a good opportunity for you to learn that when your edits are repeatedly removed, there is probably a good reason.  - Nunh-huh 18:48, 9 October 2007 (UTC)

Do you have a source that it is being DDOSed? All is known is that it is has been gone for about a week. William Ortiz 15:23, 22 October 2007 (UTC)


 * There's multiple quotes of moot saying that they're being DDOSed. And still, it's more likely than them being investigated by the police. ≈  Maurauth  ( Ravenor ) 16:12, 22 October 2007 (UTC)
