Welcome to Wikipedia. Everyone is welcome to make constructive contributions to Wikipedia, but at least one of your recent edits, such as the one you made to Al-Fatiha, did not appear to be constructive and has been automatically reverted (undone) by ClueBot NG.
- Please use the sandbox for any test edits you would like to make, and take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. Note that human editors do monitor recent changes to Wikipedia articles, and administrators have the ability to block users from editing if they repeatedly engage in vandalism.
- ClueBot NG produces very few false positives, but it does happen. If you believe the change you made should not have been detected as unconstructive, please read about it, report it here, remove this warning from your talk page, and then make the edit again.
- The following is the log entry regarding this warning: Al-Fatiha was changed by SuperblySpiffingPerson (u) (t) ANN scored at 0.890472 on 2011-03-20T06:11:59+00:00 . Thank you. ClueBot NG (talk) 06:12, 20 March 2011 (UTC)
Your recent edits and 'Neutral Point of View' in Wikipedia
On the '2011 Libyan uprising' article, it appears you are editing in such a way to push a point of view, as well as editing article names and naming conventions, specifically naming it 2011 Libyan Civil War, despite there being a discussion under way on the Talk page of that article, and consensus not yet declared. In looking over other edits you are making, these seem to be focused toward a common goal that, in this editor's opinion, is biased toward a pro-Western viewpoint. From what I can tell, the articles related to this subject are already suffering from a large degree of bias and jingoism, and I would take this opportunity to refer you to the following guidelines for Wikipedia.

Thanks. -- Avanu (talk) 11:42, 23 March 2011 (UTC)
- The consensus of the naming discussions is that it's civil war, not otherwise. There's WP:UNDUE focus and mentioning of one Jamahiriya spokesperson throughout the article. Treating those to thing's I can't relate to 'pro-Westernism'. If I wanted to make it 'pro-Western' I'd make it as though the issue was all about one man. Rather it's about a multiplicity of tribes and a great many thousands of people. — Preceding unsigned comment added by SuperblySpiffingPerson (talk • contribs) 12:01, 23 March 2011 (UTC)
- There is no declared consensus yet. News reports also are split on the name of this. Regardless of the viewpoint that you have on this Jamahiriya, it is not a common name, and you are providing little to no sourcing for these changes, you are making wholesale moves and edits to articles without so much as a 'how do you do' in an effort to educate editors or gain consensus. You may be right in referring to things as Jamahiriya, but it is hard to see if you are making any effort to present a rationale for these wholesale changes. -- Avanu (talk) 12:06, 23 March 2011 (UTC)
Please stop changing the article title until a consensus has been reached. If you continue to do so before a consensus has been reached, such edits can be considered disruptive and you may be blocked from editing. Thank you. -- Gogo Dodo (talk) 23:51, 23 March 2011 (UTC)
You've been reported for edit warring

Minor edits
"A check to the minor edit box signifies that only superficial differences exist between the current and previous versions. Examples include typographical corrections, formatting and presentational changes, rearrangement of text without modification of content, etc. A minor edit is one that the editor believes requires no review and could never be the subject of a dispute. " You are making substantive changes, including controversial ones, and marking them minor. Please stop. Dougweller (talk) 21:22, 23 March 2011 (UTC)
- I put them as minor edits so they don't show up on my own watchlist. Is there another way to effect the same purpose.?

- Don't you notice that when you check your watchlist, your own edits show up unless they are marked as minor. So to avoid the superfluity of informing myself of what I already know I have bias to recording changes as minor, especially those where there purpose is terminology clarification which is a large part of what I've purposed to improve on this database.— Preceding unsigned comment added by [[User:{{{1}}}|{{{1}}}]] ([[User talk:{{{1}}}#top|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/{{{1}}}|contribs]])
Libyan Jamahiriya National Transitional Council
Please can you explain how you can justify this change of name to the article? If not, then please revert it to its former name, or I will consider this an act of vandalism. Thnak you. Lynbarn (talk) 23:52, 23 March 2011 (UTC)
Hello. This message is being sent to inform you that there is currently a discussion at Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents regarding an issue with which you may have been involved. Thank you.
- There's another article called Transitional National Government which refers to an entirely different country. Name change to refer to Libya further distinguishes it. The NTC is an organ of the Libyan Republic, which is to be distinguished from its opponent the Libyan ARAB Republic. Libyan Republic NTC is a fair and justified and preferred name for it. It informs the reader WHERE the the NTC arises from and WHAT participant in the Libyan Civil War is pulling its strings.— Preceding unsigned comment added by [[User:{{{1}}}|{{{1}}}]] ([[User talk:{{{1}}}#top|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/{{{1}}}|contribs]])
March 2011
Please stop your disruptive editing, as you did at 2011 Libyan uprising. Your edits have been reverted or removed.
- If you are engaged in an article content dispute with another editor, discuss the matter with the editor at their talk page, or the article's talk page. Alternatively you can read Wikipedia's dispute resolution page, and ask for independent help at one of the relevant notice boards.
- If you are engaged in any other form of dispute that is not covered on the dispute resolution page, seek assistance at Wikipedia's Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents.
Do not continue to make edits that appear disruptive until the dispute is resolved through consensus. Continuing to edit disruptively may result in you being blocked from editing.--Labattblueboy (talk) 00:36, 24 March 2011 (UTC)
Please do not move a page to a title that is harder to follow or move it unilaterally against naming conventions or consensus, as you did to National Transitional Council. This includes making page moves while a discussion remains under way. We have some guidelines to help with deciding what title is best for a subject. If you would like to experiment with page titles and moving, please use the test Wikipedia. Thank you.--Labattblueboy (talk) 00:40, 24 March 2011 (UTC)
Please talk about your changes on the 2011 Libyan Uprising Talk page
Hi, as your edits on the subject of the uprising appear to be controversial, would you mind maybe discussing them on 2011_Libyan_uprising? Remember Wiki is a team effort, not just the work of one editor. Thanks! Sir William Matthew Flinders Petrie Say Shalom! 00:37, 24 March 2011 (UTC)
Edit warring on various articles
{{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}}
, but 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.
You have been renaming things without consensus. On 23 March you made eight article moves. The complete report of this case is at WP:AN3#User:SuperblySpiffingPerson reported by User:Avanu (Result: 24h). EdJohnston (talk) 00:40, 24 March 2011 (UTC)
