It might be best if your first edit at Wikipedia is not one that adds back POV material to an article, which is clearly in violation of Wikipedia's policies. Additionally, you should know that sockpuppetry is grounds for blocking. Thanks. QueenofBattle (talk) 05:15, 25 July 2009 (UTC)

As you seem to have a problem with unregistered users per your edit summaries (in clear violation of WP policies, I have created a user. PLEASE DESIST VANDALIZING ARTICLES Salt Pit Waterboarding > Kidnapping is kidnappping, whether it was done by some mobster or a rogue state is not relevant. If it is illegal where done and defined there as Kidnapping, then it is KIDNAPPING. Also, acusing people of sockpuppety, in the wrong, is a serious breach here on wiki. Learn the way this works ... IF you think someone is a puppet, you report it, and let those with the tools to research it. Mwalshie (talk) 05:19, 25 July 2009 (UTC)

Please do not add content without citing verifiable and reliable sources, as you did to Salt Pit. Before making any potentially controversial edits, it is recommended that you discuss them first on the article's talk page. Please review the guidelines at Citing sources and take this opportunity to add references to the article. Thank you. QueenofBattle (talk) 05:21, 25 July 2009 (UTC)


 * Salt Pit - Please do not STALK editors to insure your POV. It is plain english language that what happened was a kidnapping, as last time i checked, neither Macedonia, nor Albania were US states, or US occupied, so whether or not the United States considers what happened allows kidnapping or lawful detention is not relevant. Most countries do not allow foreign powers, or anyone except their own police forces to arrest people on their territories, the illegal abduction of people is called kidnapping.

 * At Wikipedia, we use reliable sources for all edits, and especially for controversial ones. Your opinion that someone was kidnapped is not important here.  The laws of Macedonia or Albania are not important here.  So, do you have a reliable sources that says he was "kidnapped"?  QueenofBattle (talk) 05:35, 25 July 2009 (UTC)


 * A non-biased reader will understand that detaining someone in violation of the law is called kidnapping. This is plain english, and no one, ever has stated that abducting someone inviolation of the law is other than kidnapping. Your claims are akin to demanding a source that water is wet, we do not use sources for that, we use childhood enducation. Thankfully you do not get to redefine other countries' laws simply because your own nation is involved. Kidnapping is kidnapping, and no ammount of wiki lawyering will allow you to supercede your own RECENTISM and political opinions over the laws of soverign states.

 * Please provide a reliable source for your claim that 'controversial ' is spelled like that. Ridiculous wiki lawyering. Mwalshie (talk) 05:45, 25 July 2009 (UTC)


 * Umm, you still need a reliable source. Find it, and I won't revert the edit again.  It's that simple.  Plus you should probably refresh yourself with our policies on civility.  Thanks.  QueenofBattle (talk) 05:52, 25 July 2009 (UTC)


 * Please provide a contrary source to this plain english and I will stop reverting your vandalism. Mwalshie (talk) 05:53, 25 July 2009 (UTC)

I think that's enough of edit warring your bad faith warning on my user talk page. Knock it off. QueenofBattle (talk) 06:05, 25 July 2009 (UTC)


 * Adding 3RR warnings (that you keep deleting) is not bad faith. Anyway, I've turned this over to admins. Waterboarding is a arb probation article, and your edits without first utilizing talk were not helpful in an article that has a long and rowdy history. Mwalshie (talk) 06:18, 25 July 2009 (UTC)

Blocked for edit warring
I've blocked you for 12h for edit warring at Waterboarding. You seem to be something of a n00b, but you are moving too fast for someone who doesn't know the rules. Anyway, you reported User:QueenofBattle at WP:AN3 for 3 reverts. You have 3 reverts so presumably deem this a blockable offence. You've also been edit-warring at t:QoB; please don't do that. The policy is that removal of a warning is a sign that the warning has been read William M. Connolley (talk) 10:07, 25 July 2009 (UTC)

Oh, and if you start as an anon then come in as a registered user you're going to look like a sock, so QoB's warning was not inappropriate William M. Connolley (talk) 10:08, 25 July 2009 (UTC)
