Harmonic (disambiguation)
Hi NeedsLove, thanks for your contributions to Harmonic (disambiguation) but I think you need to read MOS:DAB. These kind of pages are only to assist navigation to the correct page. For that reason they are kept as short as possible - all encyclopaedic information goes in the articles themselves. Nor are they dictionary definitions or etymologies. That kind of information goes in Wiktionary. Regards,  Spinning Spark  10:33, 7 May 2013 (UTC)

Please do not attack other editors, as you did to Talk:Harmonic (disambiguation). Comment on content, not on contributors. Personal attacks damage the community and deter users. Please stay cool and keep this in mind while editing. Thank you. Accusing a good faith editor of "your unreasonable deletings are obviously useless and harmful vandalism" and "you have proved yourself to be the cruel personal attacker to be banned forever" is personal attack rather than dealing with the issue at hand.

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war&#32; according to the reverts you have made on Harmonic (disambiguation). Users are expected to collaborate with others, to avoid editing disruptively, and to try to reach a consensus rather than repeatedly undoing other users' edits once it is known that there is a disagreement. Please 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. In some cases it may be appropriate to request temporary page protection. If you engage in an edit war, you may be blocked from editing.  Spinning Spark  23:13, 7 May 2013 (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.

Please stop attacking other editors. If you continue, you may be blocked from editing Wikipedia. If you needlessly accuse one more editor of "vandalism" or being a "cruel personal attacker" or anything similar then I will block you.  Spinning Spark  14:31, 8 May 2013 (UTC)

You have been blocked from editing for a period of 24 hours for your disruption caused by edit warring and violation of the three-revert rule&#32;at Harmonic (disambiguation). 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. 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. m.o.p 18:43, 8 May 2013 (UTC)

I warned you above you could be blocked for personal attacks. Since you have called other editors (besides me) Nazis - in your block appeal of all places - I have extended your block by a week. If you do it again you will lose the privilege of posting on this page altogether.  Spinning Spark  02:00, 9 May 2013 (UTC)

Martha Gellhorn 1978
Dear NeedsLove, her I copy my 5 May posting to Michael Bednarik. It contains a needed correction about Gellhorn's attitude to Stalinism in the wiki-lemma dating before 5th of May: Dear Michael, the lemma about Martha Gellhorn tells us that Gellhorn never criticized Stalin's communism. That is not true. 'Travels with myself and another' (1978) contains a rather sour but interesting chapter about her 1972 travelling to Moscow; there she visited "Mrs. M." - and all details in that text makes us believe that that person has been Osip Mandelstam's widow Nadjezjda Mandelstam. In that text Gellhorn is very, very critical about Stalin and his period. Because I have only the Dutch translation of the book I cannot give citations in English. (The chapter in Dutch: 'Een blik op Moedertje Rusland' = A view on Mom Russia). My suggestion: maybe an expert wiki-man in your country could control and correct the lemma. - Excuse my poor English!
