Sasha Grey
Hi RespectedInfluence! About your recent edits to Sasha Grey: although Wikipedia is not censored, the community has developed some guidelines about the use of pornographic images in articles. You might want to read Pornography to give yourself an idea of what is acceptable. All the best.  — Mr. Stradivarius  ♫ 09:27, 1 May 2011 (UTC)
 * Talk to me about actual policy, not essays —Preceding unsigned comment added by RespectedInfluence (talk • contribs) 10:33, 1 May 2011 (UTC)
 * Well, as for policy, the relevant one would seem to be Consensus. I'm not involved in the article myself, so I suggest you start a new topic at Talk:Sasha Grey and see if you can establish a consensus there. Be careful about WP:3RR - it's quite strictly enforced. All the best.  — Mr. Stradivarius  ♫ 09:52, 1 May 2011 (UTC)
 * Wrong. This is the relevant policy. And that new topic has long already been initiated, by me. —Preceding unsigned comment added by RespectedInfluence (talk • contribs) 11:12, 1 May 2011 (UTC)
 * Well, I think both of those policies should come into play - it's not a question of which one is "right" or "wrong", but of finding an acceptable balance that benefits the encyclopedia. As for the talk page discussion, I'm sorry, but I can't see any obvious discussion of this at the talk page. Also, when I checked your contributions, it seems that you haven't made any edits at Talk:Sasha Grey. Can you indicate where you started the discussion?  — Mr. Stradivarius  ♫ 10:41, 1 May 2011 (UTC)

Thank you for your contributions. Please remember to mark your edits, such as your recent edits to Sasha Grey, as "minor" only if they truly are minor edits. In accordance with Help:Minor edit, a minor edit is one that the editor believes requires no review and could never be the subject of a dispute. Minor edits consist of things such as typographical corrections, formatting changes, or rearrangement of text without modification of content. Additionally, the reversion of clear-cut vandalism and test edits may be labeled "minor". Thank you.  — Mr. Stradivarius  ♫ 09:29, 1 May 2011 (UTC)

Please do not add unsourced content, as you did to Sasha Grey. This contravenes Wikipedia's policy on verifiability. If you continue to do so, you may be blocked from editing Wikipedia. Nymf hideliho! 09:39, 1 May 2011 (UTC)

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war. Users are expected to collaborate with others and avoid editing disruptively. In particular, the three-revert rule states that: 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 continue to edit war, you may be blocked from editing without further notice. Nymf hideliho! 09:44, 1 May 2011 (UTC)
 * 1) Making more than three reversions on a single page within a 24-hour period is almost always grounds for an immediate block.
 * 2) Do not edit war even if you believe you are right.
 * Wow. You really doubt that she drank piss. Google "Sasha Grey drinks piss"; that oughta settle the issue for you. —Preceding unsigned comment added by RespectedInfluence (talk • contribs) 10:48, 1 May 2011 (UTC)

Hello. In case you didn't know, when you add content to talk pages and Wikipedia pages that have open discussion, you should sign your posts by typing four tildes ( &#126;&#126;&#126;&#126; ) at the end of your comment. You could also click on the signature button located above the edit window. This will automatically insert a signature with your username or IP address and the time you posted the comment. This information is useful because other editors will be able to tell who said what, and when. Thank you.  — Mr. Stradivarius  ♫ 10:42, 1 May 2011 (UTC)
