Undoing my edits?
Why are you undoing my edits as if they are vandalism? Gary King ( talk ) 17:50, 21 April 2010 (UTC)

You seem to me to be making a lot of edits and reversions based on your personal opinions without much consideration of the actual policy that underlies the edits or for the generally-accepted process of forming consensus on the articles' associated talk pages. If you'd like your second week as a "vandal fighter" on Wikipedia to be less contentious and more effective than your first, I'd recommend that you attain a more secure grasp of Wikipedia's policies and try harder to work with others. Best of luck with your future endeavours here. Accounting4Taste: talk 18:02, 21 April 2010 (UTC)
 * And you are now dangerously close to being blocked for infringing the three-reversion rule, with which I also suggest you make yourself immediately familiar. Accounting4Taste: talk 18:04, 21 April 2010 (UTC)


 * sorry I didnt phrase my comment more carefully, didnt realise you were new here, it takes a while to get used to our editing policies, hope you havent been put off contributing. FeydHuxtable (talk) 19:05, 21 April 2010 (UTC)
 * Thankyou FeydHuxtable. Renkaw Gib (talk) 19:14, 21 April 2010 (UTC)

This gets better, Jade Goody is a celeb and Nadine Coyle isn't???????????????
 * That's ALL Goody was; Coyle is independently notable. I advise you to read WP:POINT before you are blocked. Rodhull  andemu  19:33, 21 April 2010 (UTC)

Celebrities
Look, I actually have a lot of sympathy with your frustration, and I have little or no time for people who are so useless that the only thing you can call them is a "celebrity", but they do exist. We have a policy called WP:POINT, and I think you're in danger of falling foul of it and getting yourself a block, which is a shame, because I believe you're actually trying to edit in good faith. The people whose articles you're changing already have descriptions in their lead section, so adding "celebrity" to them as an adjective really doesn't add much, except to show you're trying to make a point. It says a great deal about Ms Goody that the only way to describe her is a "celebrity". Can't you let this drop? Ka renjc 19:34, 21 April 2010 (UTC)
 * Yes thanks KarenJC, I'm so at risk of being blocked and yes it was all good faith. Thanks for the encouraging words. I'll take my edits elsewhere from now. Renkaw Gib (talk) 19:42, 21 April 2010 (UTC)

You have been blocked from editing for to prevent further disruption caused by your engagement in an edit war. 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.

Take this 24 hour block as an opportunity to reflect on whether you want to contribute to Wikipedia or merely fight with people about your ideas as to its content. If you want to contribute, you'll be welcome, but you must play by the rules here. Accounting4Taste: talk 19:50, 21 April 2010 (UTC)

Your edits of Future PLC
Hello Renkaw Gib

Please do not persist in adding so much material to the Future plc page without reliable, independent (i.e. not just the Future website) sources. I will continue to revert these and will report your actions if you persist.

I am sure you are attempting to act in good faith but as, by your own admission, you are connected with Future plc, there appears to be a conflict of interest in what you are attempting to do. Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, not an advertising or marketing tool.

By all means make edits but please only add what is independently verifiable. Most of your Future edits do not fit this definition.

I know you feel you are restoring an old version but that version was not reliable and had no independent sources. I have been gradually adding indepdenent citations and it is very frustrating when you add the old non-verifiable material again.

Regards, Peteinterpol (talk) 19:52, 21 April 2010 (UTC)
 * OK we'll review it more positively when I am unblocked, regards. Renkaw Gib (talk) 19:57, 21 April 2010 (UTC)
