You currently appear to be engaged in an Edit war

This one given after sandy (from post above) recieved the template from me.

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war according to the reverts you have made on Alcoholics Anonymous. Note that the three-revert rule prohibits making more than three reversions in a content dispute within a 24 hour period. Additionally, users who perform a large number of reversions in content disputes may be blocked for edit warring, even if they do not technically violate the three-revert rule. If you continue, you may be blocked from editing. Please do not repeatedly revert edits, but use the talk page to work towards wording and content that gains a consensus among editors. If necessary, pursue dispute resolution.

I have listed you here. Wasbeer 15:11, 16 December 2011 (UTC)

this is probably the most amusing thing that has happened on wikipedia for me in quite a while. Bravo Wasbeer! you have a unique way of seeing the world and dealing with conflict.Coffeepusher (talk) 15:50, 16 December 2011 (UTC)

Wasbeer sums it up on his(?) talk page: "The problem is that I understand what you are saying but you do not understand what I am saying." -- BTfromLA (talk) 17:04, 16 December 2011 (UTC)

Truth. Well at least this madness is over with for now and we can look forward to a new madness in "David Miscavidge page land" at a later time...Coffeepusher (talk) 17:27, 16 December 2011 (UTC)

I am probably foolish to respond to this, but Wasbeer is still arguing his case--in thoroughly disingenuous terms, to put it politely-- on the talk page of Syrthiss. I posted a reply.... you might want to keep an eye on it. (If I misrepresented any detail of Wasbeer's edits or your intentions, please correct me--it's important that I have that right.) -- BTfromLA (talk) 18:40, 17 December 2011 (UTC)

thanks for letting me know...I did notice the first reply but was unaware that the comment had gained any traction. Currently both you and Syrthiss are accurately representing my understanding of the entire fiasco, so I don't think my input will be helpful (especially since Wasbeer and I have had a few heated exchanges). However I will keep an eye and weigh in if I am requested to do so, or if I feel something should be added. I am sure you are watching this page Wasbeer, along with everyone else. Feel free to comment, but play nice.Coffeepusher (talk) 19:59, 17 December 2011 (UTC)

as a humorous aside, in Texas I was taught the phrase "are you pissing on my foot and telling me it is raining?" Seems somehow apropos in this situation.Coffeepusher (talk) 20:02, 17 December 2011 (UTC)

Nestle

Hi, Coffeepusher. I haven't been paying much attention lately... I'm not sure I understand the reason for your complaint; did Nestle do something particularly egregious? I'm generally aligned with you in editorial matters, but if all you are saying is that Nestle is an admitted Scientologist, I can't agree to that as grounds for censure. Please fill me in. -- BTfromLA (talk) 05:42, 2 February 2012 (UTC)

Thanks for the Question BT, I don't think that Nestle did anything particularly egregious rather I have become increasingly uncomfortable editing Scientology pages with a "single purpose account with an agenda" editing alongside. We have sanctions against this, and it is spelled out well in the Arbcom decision on Scientology pages. It is not that he is an admitted scientologist, I have no problems with that. It is that I feel he is pushing a scientology agenda into the pages. Now I mentioned it to you because you have had interaction with Nestle and if I am off base you can speak to their defense, and if I am correct you can account for that as well.Coffeepusher (talk) 17:52, 2 February 2012 (UTC)

Private Sphere

Hi, I'm curious about your decision to reverse my edit of the private sphere page. You say that Papacharissi is 'not impactful in private sphere circles', and I don't know enough about the subject to question that, I just happen to be reading her book at the moment. If you have more knowledge of the subject would you be able to add anything else to the article? I'd like to learn more. Lawsonstu (talk) 21:59, 21 February 2012 (UTC)

Not a problem. It isn't that she doesn't have good stuff to say or that I am criticizing her in any way. it comes down to a matter of WP:WEIGHT. Right now we have a small stub of an article that references Habermas and that is about it. The literature itself is actually really big, but if we insert Papacharissi into the article at this time it will appear that she is a lot more impactful than she actually is. If the article gets expanded to include multiple perspectives then it may be good to add her, but at this time let's try and add some other authors first... also it is kinda a big jump to go from 17th century private sphere to the digital age with no conversation in between.Coffeepusher (talk) 01:37, 22 February 2012 (UTC)

Okay, that makes sense. Thanks for your answer. Lawsonstu (talk) 14:20, 23 February 2012 (UTC)
