Please note that we are writing an encyclopedia. your recent edits have been reverted. -- TRPoD aka The Red Pen of Doom  16:33, 6 December 2012 (UTC)


 * And please don't try to force it in. Discuss it on the talk page. Thanks. Dougweller (talk) 17:20, 6 December 2012 (UTC)

Your recent editing history at Ahmad al-Hassan al-Yamani shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war. Being involved in an edit war can result in your being blocked from editing&mdash;especially if you violate the three-revert rule, which states that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Undoing another editor's work—whether in whole or in part, whether involving the same or different material each time—counts as a revert. Also keep in mind that while violating the three-revert rule often leads to a block, you can still be blocked for edit warring&mdash;even if you don't violate the three-revert rule&mdash;should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly.

To avoid being blocked, instead of reverting please consider using the article's talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. See BRD for how this is done. You can post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection. -- TRPoD aka The Red Pen of Doom  17:31, 6 December 2012 (UTC)
 * if you revert again, particularly without any discussion on the talk page about why the content may be appropriate, you will be blocked.-- TRPoD aka The Red Pen of Doom  17:49, 6 December 2012 (UTC)

Samuel Lyde/Kalbiyya
I know that full well. I wrote the article on Samuel Lyde including the words you quoted on my talk page. The point is that it is a notable ( but not true ) statement about the Kalbiyya. Lyde was the first to write about the Kalbiyya (1850s), his statements are famous, and what he said, however wrong, can't be left out. My suggestion is to revert your deletion but to include the following:"Lyde's account of the Kalbiyya has, however, been described as "colourful" but "unreliable" ", with this as the citation: ref> What do you think?

Your recent editing history at Ibn Nusayr shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war. To resolve the content dispute, please do not revert or change the edits of others when you get reverted. Instead of reverting, please use the article's talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. The best practice at this stage is to discuss, not edit-war. See BRD for how this is done. If discussions reach an impasse, you can then post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection.

Being involved in an edit war can result in your being blocked from editing&mdash;especially if you violate the three-revert rule, which states that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Undoing another editor's work—whether in whole or in part, whether involving the same or different material each time—counts as a revert. Also keep in mind that while violating the three-revert rule often leads to a block, you can still be blocked for edit warring&mdash;even if you don't violate the three-revert rule&mdash;should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly.

Above warning also applies to your edit-warring on Al-Khaṣībī. DeCausa (talk) 05:52, 9 August 2015 (UTC)

Al-Khaṣībī/Ibn Nusayr
Open discussions on the talk pages of these articles rather than reverting: read WP:BRD. If you revert again you will be blocked. DeCausa (talk) 06:01, 9 August 2015 (UTC)

DeCausa is this what you do on wikipedia? Defaming people and sects? And when they write otherwise than your bloody filth, you want them blocked?! May God curse you wicked snake!!! — Preceding unsigned comment added by Thulqarnayn (talk • contribs) 01:54, 12 September 2015‎ (UTC)
 * It's actually not my "bloody filth", it's historian Matti Moosa's bloody filth. And I didn't include it in the article in the first place - I didn't write it and I have no idea whether what's in that article is "true" or not. What you seem to not get is that we are not here to put onto the internet the "truth" as we see it. All we are doing is reflecting what sources are saying, and those sources have to comply with specific criteria. This criteria is explained here. Now, it may be that a source is "wrong". But we are not allowed to use our personal opinion and knowledge to say it's wrong and take sourced text out of an article. In that situation you have to look for other sources that say it's wrong and include them as well in the article.But there are two qualifications to that. Firstly, those other sources have to fit the criteria as well (so not just any website) and where sources contradict each other then the points of view of all can be shown, but minority views can't be given greater prominence than majority points of view. This is explained in more detail here. These are rules we all have to work under, and you were blocked because you wouldn't follow them, and were edit-warring as well, not because I "got you blocked". If you show you are willing to accept these rules then I'm sure you'll be unblocked. It might help you, also, to read WP:RIGHTGREATWRONGS. DeCausa (talk) 08:12, 12 September 2015 (UTC)
