Not a nice Welcome

International agencies such as UNICEF have stopped using the term "child porn" and moved towards other wording such as "images of child sexual abuse". See my edit history for my attempts at changing some -not all- instances of the phrase "child porn" to "images of child sexual abuse". Rather than looking at the supplies references (given in the form of a wikipedia article that contains reliable refs) and helping to tidy the article my edits were reverted. One reversion made an assumption of bad faith even though there was talk page discussion and valid edit summary. The automated message thing that user left was not nice. The article I was editing has many flaws. Rather than waste time bickering over what should be an uncontroversial change to some words editors could have sought citations for other claims, or fix style problems, or anything. So, now you have an article in the same lousy condition it was in before I tried to help wikipedia and you have someone who after a few days now hates Wikipedia. Good job at editor retention.

My question

Where can I post a link to my user page so someone at wikipedia can understand the frustrating experience that new users have?

Hello, I'm Arunsingh16. I wanted to let you know that I undid one or more of your recent contributions to Legal status of Internet pornography because it did not appear constructive. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page.

Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. You appear to be engaged in an edit war with one or more editors according to your reverts at Legal status of Internet pornography. Although repeatedly reverting or undoing another editor's contributions may seem necessary to protect your preferred version of a page, on Wikipedia this is usually seen as obstructing the normal editing process, and often creates animosity between editors. Instead of edit warring, please discuss the situation with the editor(s) involved and try to reach a consensus on the talk page.

If editors continue to revert to their preferred version they are likely to be blocked from editing. This isn't done to punish an editor, but to prevent the disruption caused by edit warring. In particular, editors should be aware of the three-revert rule, which says that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. While edit warring on Wikipedia is not acceptable in any amount, breaking the three-revert rule is very likely to lead to a block. Thank you. — Malik Shabazz ^Talk/_Stalk 12:13, 11 January 2014 (UTC)
