Hello, Douglask1835, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Unfortunately, your edit to Chris Kyle does not conform to Wikipedia's Neutral Point of View policy (NPOV). Wikipedia articles should refer only to facts and interpretations that have been stated in print or on reputable websites or other forms of media.

There's a page about the NPOV policy that has tips on how to effectively write about disparate points of view without compromising the NPOV status of the article as a whole. If you are stuck, and looking for help, please come to the New contributors' help page, where experienced Wikipedians can answer any queries you have! Or, you can just type {{Help me}} on your user page, and someone will show up shortly to answer your questions. Here are a few other good links for newcomers:

Your recent editing history at Chris Kyle 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—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—even if you don't violate the three-revert rule—should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly.

Thank you User:Kuru. Douglask, the statement is completely irrelevant and poorly written--by which I mean complete gibberish. It would not get a passing grade in high school. That's an editorial statement. But I have an administrative one too, actually a couple of them: the sourcing is atrocious. It's pointed out on the talk page that the Mother Jones article doesn't mention Kyle and has nothing to do with him, and the same applies to the New York Times article. Those two happen to be the only two reliable sources in that section: the rest are really unacceptable. In addition, one doesn't have to be an admin to see that the section is not approved for inclusion on the talk page--in fact, it's pointed out that the Katrina stuff is not relevant. So you should really stop inserting this, and if you want anything at all, discuss it on the talk page. If not, you will be blocked: your edits are disruptive, and the article is already enough of a mess. Thank you. Drmies (talk) 15:55, 13 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]
