Thanks for the reverts

On various articles in May, but I noticed you removed "is a" here, which resulted in the article having an incorrect lead sentence for over two months. I only noticed it now because Washburn is apparently about to be dealt to the New York Yankees. Cheers, Enigma ^message 08:06, 27 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Oops! --Elliskev 13:35, 29 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

You have violated the 3RR rule

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war. 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 a large number of reversions in content disputes may be blocked for edit warring, even if they do not technically violate the three-revert rule. If you continue, you may be blocked from editing. Please do not repeatedly revert edits, but use the talk page to work towards wording and content that gains a consensus among editors. If necessary, pursue dispute resolution. Jim Furtado (talk) 18:18, 9 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

1+1=2. --Elliskev 18:20, 9 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

You have done several revets during the last 24 hours possibly 4 or 5 during the last 24 hours if not more here is one, and there are several more http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=2008_South_Ossetia_War&diff=230850474&oldid=230850354 Jim Furtado (talk) 18:23, 9 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Good example. Why don't you go read WP:3RR? --Elliskev 18:25, 9 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

If you continue with you revert war I will report you so please stop doing it Jim Furtado (talk) 18:27, 9 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

What are you talking about? If you're going to report me, go report me. --Elliskev 18:30, 9 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I see that you've reported me. It would have been nice to let me know. I've responded. --Elliskev 15:47, 11 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

First you say go ahead report me and when I do you say it would have been nice if you had told me, You asked me to report you so I did, also please stop editing the result of the report, you may write what ever you want in a response but you may NOT change the result, only admins may change the result Jim Furtado (talk) 23:56, 11 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Re: South Ossetia

You could've fixed it yourself, you know, instead of undoing. Seeing as I only edited the lead section, it would've been easy to find the problem. Sceptre ^(talk) 18:22, 11 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry. You're probably right. I didn't mean to imply that there was anything wrong with your edit. Just thought it would be easier to get it quickly so you could make sure it was fixed correctly. --Elliskev 18:24, 11 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

On further reflection, I'll go another step. I reviewed the edit and it would have just as easy for me to fix it. My mistake. --Elliskev 19:17, 11 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

You have now reverted the War in South Ossetia article 3 times during the last 24 hours if you do it again you will be reported Jim Furtado (talk) 00:42, 12 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I dispute the assertion. --Elliskev 00:43, 12 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Totally understand

You had said in another discussion, "The frustrated bitching just made me feel better about it." Just wanted to let you know I totally understand. :-) My comments in that discussion concerning the 3RR-issue shouldn't be interpretted as a rebuke. croll (talk) 02:07, 12 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Gotcha. It's one of those "walk away" things. One of those "SERIOUSLY?! Am I seriously getting upset about this?" things --Elliskev 02:08, 12 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Article about war reporting

Hallo. I'm a journalist writing for Austrian Newspaper "Falter". I'm working on a story about war reporting on Wikipedia (focused on South Ossetia War). I would like to ask you a few questions via email about this subject (concerning neutrality and propaganda on Wikipedia). I would be really pleased, if you agreed to answer my questions. If you are interested just send me a message via my Wikipedia profile Best regards, Wueddens (talk 14:33, 12 August 2008 (UTC))[reply]

Date format

dd/mm is a re-direct to mm/dd ... for example 12 August re-directs to August 12. --Tocino 17:40, 12 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

See my response st Talk:2008 South Ossetia war --Elliskev 17:44, 12 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

You did not come off as harsh. I hope I didn't either. --Tocino 21:09, 12 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Nope. Not at all. --Elliskev 21:25, 12 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Well

I guess I see some rational thought processes occurring, however minor they might appear to me to be. I am speaking about some of what you said.

Lately Rambling Man is going a little crazy. I am requesting a little assistance from you. I don't care for "wars" on here, no matter how minor they seem. Crashingthewaves (talk) 13:46, 13 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
