It's obvious you're new here so you might want to read [[WP:5P]] and [[Wikipedia:List of policies]]. Repeatedly accusing someone of vandalism when the edits enforce policy will eventually also get you blocked. Right now, all I'm asking for is the content be backed up with acceptable sources (and, per policy, these can't be court documents). Content cannot be added to [[WP:BLP]]'s without proper sources. It's that simple. --[[User:NeilN|'''<font color="#003F87">Neil<font color="#CD0000">N</font></font>''']] <sup><font face="Calibri">''[[User talk:NeilN|<font color="#003F87">talk to me</font>]]''</font></sup> 15:00, 19 May 2010 (UTC)

I've removed the section you added per our WP:BLP policy: "Exercise caution in using primary sources. Do not use trial transcripts, other court records, or other public documents to support assertions about a living person, unless a reliable secondary source has published the material. Do not use public records that include personal details, such as date of birth, home value, traffic citations, vehicle registrations, and home or business addresses. Where primary-source material has been discussed by a reliable secondary source, it may be acceptable to rely on it to augment the secondary source..." --NeilN talk to me 13:36, 19 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Court documents cannot be used per the policy above. We have strict rules on this. And I have no personal interest in the article beyond making sure any edits comply with Wikipedia policies. --NeilN talk to me 13:58, 19 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

We're all Wikipedia editors (users) here. Wikipedia has perhaps four or five paid employees that deal with technical/administrative issues, not article issues. --NeilN talk to me 14:07, 19 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

May 2010

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war according to the reverts you have made on George Soros. Note that the three-revert rule prohibits making more than three reversions on a single page within a 24-hour period. Additionally, users who perform several reversions in content disputes may be blocked for edit warring even if they do not technically violate the three-revert rule. When in dispute with another editor you should first try to discuss controversial changes to work towards wording and content that gains a consensus among editors. Should that prove unsuccessful, you are encouraged to seek dispute resolution, and in some cases it may be appropriate to request page protection. Please stop the disruption, otherwise you may be blocked from editing. NeilN talk to me 13:56, 19 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Your recent edits

Hello. In case you didn't know, when you add content to talk pages and Wikipedia pages that have open discussion, you should sign your posts by typing four tildes ( ~~~~ ) at the end of your comment. You may also click on the signature button located above the edit window. This will automatically insert a signature with your username or IP address and the time you posted the comment. This information is useful because other editors will be able to tell who said what, and when. Thank you. --SineBot (talk) 14:53, 19 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]
