Yusuf Estes
Dear Sir or Ma'am,

I hope you are well. I am not trying to stifle criticism of Estes. I have never met him or had contact with him. I'm just an editor trying to uphold Wikipedia guidelines. You are violating them.

You certainly should not re-post the particular anti-Estes document that various editors have tried to include because it is not a reliable, authoritative, and neutral third-party source. It is merely a non-encyclopedic polemic writtem by someone with theological differences to Estes. In its current form it is not acceptable. Plus, it was introduced entirely without any reasonable context.

And just because any person has critics, or that a polemic exists on any individual written by a critic, does not mean it should automatically be included in Wikipedia. Please see WP:BLP guidelines for how carefully all biographical pages on living persons needed to be maintained and edited / protected.

Two good sets of Wikipedia guidelines that I have found really useful can be found HERE and HERE. If you stick to Wikipedia's rules you should have a better change of making a valuable contribution to Wikipedia.

For your assistance I have cut and pasted this from the WP:BLP guidelines. This explains why I have removed your material from the Estes page:


 * "Editors must take particular care when adding information about living persons to any Wikipedia page.[1] Such material requires a high degree of sensitivity, and must adhere strictly to all applicable laws in the United States, to this policy, and to Wikipedia's three core content policies: Neutral point of view (NPOV) Verifiability (V); No original research (NOR)


 * "We must get the article right. Be very firm about the use of high-quality sources. All quotations and any material challenged or likely to be challenged must be explicitly attributed to a reliable, published source, which is usually done with an inline citation. Contentious material about living persons (or recently deceased) that is unsourced or poorly sourced—whether the material is negative, positive, neutral, or just questionable—should be removed immediately and without waiting for discussion."

Please comply with these guidelines. Thanks, George Custer&#39;s Sabre (talk) 03:51, 30 August 2012 (UTC)

Work in progress
We are working on this subject to have the criticism added to Yusuf's page in a way that will remain. Just FYI Eyrryds (talk) 21:43, 31 August 2012 (UTC)

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war&#32; according to the reverts you have made on Yusuf Estes. Please avoid editing disruptively, and to try to reach a consensus rather than repeatedly undoing. and 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. If you engage in an edit war, you may be blocked from editing. Justice007 (talk) 21:03, 30 August 2012 (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.


 * I think you do not understand the wiki rules, you have twice violated the WP:3RR, if you have any concerns relating Yusuf Estes, please discuss that on the article talk page, and reach the WP:consensus and do not remain reverting edits of other editors. I hope this helps. Justice007 (talk) 22:04, 31 August 2012 (UTC)

Notice of Edit warring noticeboard discussion
Hello. This message is being sent to inform you that there is currently a discussion involving you at Administrators' noticeboard/Edit warring regarding a possible violation of Wikipedia's policy on edit warring. Thank you. Justice007 (talk) 09:01, 1 September 2012 (UTC)

You have been blocked from editing for a period of 24 hours for edit warring, as you did at Yusuf Estes. 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 below this notice the text, but 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. Tiptoety talk 09:02, 1 September 2012 (UTC)
