Female gender mutilation
Hi, we both care about the inside of the text, i first need to appologize that i altered accidently North Africa to just Africa, i overread "predominately" during my clean up.

I would like to ask if we can use the term Female gender cutting in my changes i made, i feel more pleasent with the article if shortcuts or genital mutilation isnt always used.

greetings

 * That's alright; I figured it was a mistake. I also don't have a problem with your using "cutting" instead. Cheers, Middayexpress (talk) 19:35, 13 January 2011 (UTC)

Thanks a lot, have a good weekend. --Santiago84 19:40, 13 January 2011 (UTC)

You have been blocked from editing for a period of 1 week for edit warring. Once the block has expired, you are welcome to make useful contributions. If you would like to be unblocked, you may appeal this block by adding the text below this notice, but you should read the guide to appealing blocks first. Looie496 (talk) 06:16, 15 January 2011 (UTC) 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.


 * There are a few basic factual errors in the post above. For starters, I have only been blocked twice, not three times; and both times, the other revert-warring party was blocked too. As already pointed out, I also stopped reverting when I took the issue to AN/I. That was the purpose of my going there in the first place i.e. to resolve the issue without revert-warring. In fact, one of the other editors was the last to revert while that discussion was still going on, not me. Moreover, I have just had a read-through the vandalism and original research policies, and I noticed that WP:VAND indeed does not include adding blatant original research as one of its criteria; so this is an area where I'll admit that I was mistaken. Although WP:NOR clearly forbids original research, it doesn't excuse revert-warring, so my bad. Note that the forgoing isn't an appeal to be unblocked. I'll serve out the remainder of my time, as it were. Middayexpress (talk) 19:21, 17 January 2011 (UTC)
 * I would also like to mention that one of the revert-warring editors that was involved in the dispute is still revert-warring with others over the same issue (i.e. whether or not the Somaliland region is included in the UN's geoscheme for Eastern Africa -- it isn't, nor is any other region in Somalia (which he tellingly did not list); only Somalia itself is ). What is going to be done about this? Why the double standard? Middayexpress (talk) 22:37, 18 January 2011 (UTC)
