Welcome to Wikipedia. It might not have been your intention, but your recent edit removed content from List of American Muslims. When removing text, please specify a reason in the edit summary and discuss edits that are likely to be controversial on the article's talk page. If this was a mistake, don't worry; the text has been restored, as you can see from the [ page history]. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia, and if you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. Thank you.

 * You can't just remove sourced content to satisfy your own preferences here. We have a policy of neutrality here, and that means telling it as it is, and I note you haven't sought to justify or discuss your edits on the Talk page. You can take this as a final warning that if you remove this content again without either a very good reason, or discussion, your editing career here will be over. Thanks.

You have been blocked from editing for a period of 31 hours for '''edit-warring. There is no such thing as "giving a positive attitude" to any topic here, and I have directed you to our neutrality policy, which you seem to be ignoring. You now have 31 hours break to read and understand it.'''. Once the block has expired, you are welcome to make constructive contributions. If you believe this block is unjustified, you may contest the block by adding the text  below, but you should read our guide to appealing blocks first. Rodhull andemu  00:31, 3 February 2010 (UTC)


 * You'd be well-advised to read WP:GAB before making any more content-based arguments. The only thing I can gather from your comments is that WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS, which is never a great argument. I'll reiterate: (a) List of American Muslims is required by policy to be neutral, and removing people you don't approve of is a breach of that policy. (b) When other editors revert your removals of sourced content, which is in itself vandalism, it is your responsibility to justify such removal. (c) You haven't discussed and of your removals on Talk, despite being directed there. I suggest if you think you have a leg to stand on, please feel free to apply for unblocking and an independent Admin will review your block. Rodhull andemu  00:52, 3 February 2010 (UTC)

{{unblock}I will adhere to the policy of neutrality on Wikipedia from now on. However, I would like to make a humble request: Can you please move "Muslim terrorist" thread moved further down in the article. Muslims have contributed more to America than "terrorism" and I would appreciate it if Muhammad Ali was shown before some schizophrenic nut jobs.}
 * Your block is only for 31 hours. There's no real reason not to wait it out; Wikipedia will still be here tomorrow. -FisherQueen (talk · contribs) 01:02, 3 February 2010 (UTC)


 * Please also see WP:WEIGHT. Alphabetical order of topic/name is adequate to satisfy neutrality policy Rodhull  andemu  01:04, 3 February 2010 (UTC)

Thank you :)
 * I agree that the current order isn't very logical, and have re-ordered the article alphabetically by category, putting a note on the talk page explaining my change. -FisherQueen (talk · contribs) 01:18, 3 February 2010 (UTC)
 * We've been having a discussion about the section. I hope you'll weigh in with your opinion tomorrow, on how the article can be truly neutral. -FisherQueen (talk · contribs) 02:04, 3 February 2010 (UTC)

Will do. And Thank You :) I appreciate the time you spent on this.
