3RR issue at Dead Sea scrolls
Please refrain from undoing other people's edits repeatedly. If you continue, you may be blocked from editing Wikipedia. Note that the three-revert rule prohibits making more than three reversions in a content dispute within a 24 hour period. Additionally, users who perform a large number of reversions in content disputes may be blocked for edit warring, even if they do not technically violate the three-revert rule. Rather than reverting, discuss disputed changes on the talk page. The revision you want is not going to be implemented by edit warring. Thank you. Kylu (talk) 06:20, 11 February 2009 (UTC)

Your first wiki edit was a large revert, which makes me think you are a sock / have a previous history here. Do you care to comment? William M. Connolley (talk) 09:35, 14 February 2009 (UTC)

Yes, I do care to comment, thank you. I am not a sockpuppet, and I have never used Wikipedia before. IsraelXKV8R keeps making this accusation on the basis of an old case from two years ago that I have nothing to do with. It is guilt by association without any evidence at all apart from links between all kinds of people who, according to him (see his latest comment on the Dead Sea Scrolls discussion page), have infiltrated or manipulated the national press. How convincing! I sincerely hope you will see through these accusations, which are simply aimed at convincing Wikipedia editors to delete the section I added in good faith to the Dead Sea Scrolls article, based on reliable sources (the National Post, the Wall Street Journal, the Los Angeles Times, and Jewish Week).

My section describes, without injecting any opinion of my own, the basic elements of a controversy in which IsraelXKV8R, as I easily ascertained from reading his Wikipedia userpage and the Wikipedia article on his film, is personally involved: he helped create the material (specifically, the film) used in the exhibitions that are the subject of controversy (and his film was specifically criticized by the main critic of the exhibitions). I did not even mention IsraelXKV8R's involvement in the controversy in my section (which I wrote before I even realized he was involved), yet he has deleted my section 14 times. I have repeatedly had to respond to his accusations on the discussion page of the Dead Sea Scrolls article, and I would also respond to his latest claims but I have been temporarily blocked from editing because he kept deleting my section and I kept putting it back. I do not even know who "Bart Ehrman" is, and I was not familiar with the Indy Week article IsraelXKV8R refers to, or I would have used it too in my section because it is another reliable source dealing with this interesting controversy. (I have now added an expanded section with this additional source.) P.s. I think I should also point out that there are 20,000 students here at NYU, and we have one of the largest Judaica departments in the country given New York City's population of nearly 2 million Jewish people. So it's not surprising if other people at NYU wrote about the Dead Sea Scrolls two years ago. But I'm apparently the only one writing about it now, and by blocking my IP address from editing, all NYU students who use these computers are also blocked, which is not fair to any of us. This is what IsraelXKV8R wants, but he's the one who is personally involved in the controversy. As I said, I did not even mention this in the section I added to the article, but it's my duty to point it out, and I hope someone at Wikipedia will consider this case from a fair and neutral perspective and do the right thing with respect to the abusive treatment I have had to endure on account of IsraelXKV8R's obvious conflict of interest.Rachel.Greenberg (talk) 22:04, 15 February 2009 (UTC)
