 * Hi, I see that you have begun your sojourn with aggressive editing and reverts in some articles. You are advised to instead add referenced, paraphrased information in small amounts at a time till you are familiar with the rules and guidelines of Wikipedia, before you engage in reverting or participating in point of view debates. Happy editing, AshLin (talk) 05:15, 6 January 2011 (UTC):
 * It appears that I was mistaken. You have already reverted my rollback. Please continue your improvement of Thuggee. AshLin (talk) 09:53, 6 January 2011 (UTC)

Assume good faith
Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, we must insist that you assume good faith while interacting with other editors, which you did not on List of Muslim majority countries. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. Calling people names (like "troll") when they disagree with you is not acceptable. ~Amatulić (talk) 17:09, 13 January 2011 (UTC)

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war&#32; according to the reverts you have made on Demographics of Brazil. Users who edit disruptively or refuse to collaborate with others may be blocked if they continue. 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 wording, and content 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 edit warring continues, you may be blocked from editing without further notice. '''You seem to be edit-warring to retain the inclusion of a poor quality source when there is a higher quality source available which contradicts it. It is not a requirement for all sources to be in English, and a reliable foreign language one is preferable to an unreliable English one. Your changes have been challenged by several editors now, so stop edit warring against consensus, or you will almost certainly be blocked from editing''' -- Boing! said Zebedee (talk) 15:15, 18 January 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) Editors violating the rule will usually be blocked for 24 hours for a first incident.
 * 3) Do not edit war even if you believe you are right.
 * The Guardian is not a poor quality source. And the matter is resolved.Seethakathi (talk) 15:18, 18 January 2011 (UTC)
 * An unexplained one-line statement in a newspaper is not a more reliable source than official govt statistics - and see the developments at the Talk page for the actual resolution of the matter. -- Boing! said Zebedee (talk) 16:38, 18 January 2011 (UTC)
