Hi

You are removing material from an article but this is being reverted because the material is reliably sourced. I suggest you engage in a discussion on the talkpage. Continually performing your action without discussion is known as edit warring, and you can be blocked for doing it. IRWolfie- (talk) 14:48, 3 September 2012 (UTC)

What material is reliably sourced? Quote the material and provide the source that includes that material.--JournalScholar (talk) 14:50, 3 September 2012 (UTC)

I just checked, not a single thing you reverted could be verified by a reliable source. I suggest looking at WP:RS and WP:NOR. --JournalScholar (talk) 14:54, 3 September 2012 (UTC)

Removing material without giving people a chance to improve it is disruptive. Knock it off. Press releases can be reliable sources; I don't known why you think they can't. If a group released a press release, clearly it is reliable for their own opinions. IRWolfie- (talk) 15:05, 3 September 2012 (UTC)

Self-published sources CANNOT be used on Wikipedia see WP:V and WP:RS. --JournalScholar (talk) 15:07, 3 September 2012 (UTC)

CSICOP isn't self published. You will also find no wording at WP:RS or WP:V which says self published sources can not be used, read it. IRWolfie- (talk) 15:23, 3 September 2012 (UTC)

A press release is self-published. It explicitly states in WP:V that self-published sources cannot be used about third parties, they can only in certain circumstances be used about themselves.WP:SPS --JournalScholar (talk) 16:59, 3 September 2012 (UTC)

Your recent editing history at Journal of Scientific Exploration shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war. Being involved in an edit war can result in you 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.

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. Dougweller (talk) 17:34, 3 September 2012 (UTC)
