Please refrain from making unconstructive edits to Wikipedia. Your edits appear to constitute vandalism and have been reverted or removed. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. Administrators have the ability to block users from editing if they repeatedly engage in vandalism. Thank you. TEDickey (talk) 16:48, 26 April 2014 (UTC)

April 2014

Your recent editing history shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war. 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.

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. Calidum 16:58, 26 April 2014 (UTC)

I've also started a discussion on the article's talk page. Calidum 17:03, 26 April 2014 (UTC)

Gettysburg Address

• The section that you are editing is the Bliss version, which includes the words "under God", and does not bracket them. You can't change a direct quote. The question of whether or not Lincoln used these words is already covered in the Usage of "under God" section, and the conclusion is that most likely yes, he did. - Mike Rosoft (talk) 05:04, 27 April 2014 (UTC)

You have been blocked from editing for a period of 24 hours for edit warring and violating the three-revert rule. Once the block has expired, you are welcome to make useful contributions. If you think there are good reasons why you should be unblocked, you may appeal this block by adding the following text below this notice: {{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}}. However, you should read the guide to appealing blocks first.

During a dispute, you should first try to discuss controversial changes and seek consensus. If that proves unsuccessful, you are encouraged to seek dispute resolution, and in some cases it may be appropriate to request page protection.  Dougweller (talk) 10:47, 27 April 2014 (UTC)

This user is asking that their block be reviewed:

MartianColony (block log • active blocks • global blocks • contribs • deleted contribs • filter log • creation log • change block settings • unblock • checkuser (log))

---

Request reason:

I agree with everything you have said. However, the bliss copy is being presented as the only legitimate version. The other versions are presented in a format of variation from the bliss copy instead of in their entirety. I simply believe that the other versions should be presented in an equal manner. MartianColony (talk) 18:21, 27 April 2014 (UTC)

Notes:

• In some cases, you may not in fact be blocked, or your block has already expired. Please check the list of active blocks. If no block is listed, then you have been autoblocked by the automated anti-vandalism systems. Please remove this request and follow these instructions instead for quick attention by an administrator.
• Please read our guide to appealing blocks to make sure that your unblock request will help your case. You may change your request at any time.

Administrator use only:

If you ask the blocking administrator to comment on this request, replace this template with the following, replacing "blocking administrator" with the name of the blocking admin:

{{Unblock on hold |1=blocking administrator |2=I agree with everything you have said. However, the bliss copy is being presented as the only legitimate version. The other versions are presented in a format of variation from the bliss copy instead of in their entirety. I simply believe that the other versions should be presented in an equal manner. [[User:MartianColony|MartianColony]] ([[User talk:MartianColony#top|talk]]) 18:21, 27 April 2014 (UTC) |3 = ~~~~}}

If you decline the unblock request, replace this template with the following code, substituting {{subst:Decline reason here}} with a specific rationale. Leaving the decline reason unchanged will result in display of a default reason, explaining why the request was declined.

{{unblock reviewed |1=I agree with everything you have said. However, the bliss copy is being presented as the only legitimate version. The other versions are presented in a format of variation from the bliss copy instead of in their entirety. I simply believe that the other versions should be presented in an equal manner. [[User:MartianColony|MartianColony]] ([[User talk:MartianColony#top|talk]]) 18:21, 27 April 2014 (UTC) |decline = {{subst:Decline reason here}} ~~~~}}

If you accept the unblock request, replace this template with the following, substituting Accept reason here with your rationale:
