User talk:76.251.28.21

May 2012

Your recent editing history at Marian Richero (singer) 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.

Thanks for letting me know. My edits do not constitute edit warring given that I am reverting blatant bad faith edits. The page was nominated for speedy deletion given that it is a repost of an article deleted via a deletion discussion. Removal of that tag, which was done apparently by somebody with a conflict of interest, likely a sock puppet of the author, who was warned by at least one other user to stop removing the tag from the article, is continuing to remove it. I am acting in good faith given these circumstances, restoring the tag which is blatantly being removed in bad faith, regardless of whether or not the editor is a sock puppet of the original author. I will stop reverting for now, since you have expressed concern, however, I do ask for reconsideration of this warning. Thank you. 76.251.28.21 (talk) 20:54, 28 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

No problem, 76.251.28.21. I saw two anonymous IP editors reverting each other's edits several times and was merely trying to "interrupt the cycle". I didn't immediately notice the tag removal by the other editor (who is now blocked for 24 hours); if I had, I might have used different templates, so I apologize if I gave offense. Thanks for helping to improve Wikipedia! -- Bgpaulus (talk) 21:04, 28 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Skin (2008 film)

With all due respect, it doesn't make any sense for you to revert edits of the *plot synopsis* section of a movie article because of a lack of sources. The obvious (and really only possible) source for what happens in the plot of the movie is the movie itself. This is pretty self-evident, I should think. 76.170.165.97 (talk) 04:37, 29 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Do not entirely agree, although I could be incorrect. Usually, we look for reliable third-party sources if I am correct. Please take it to Wikipedia:Village pump (policy) and post a question there. Those who work there have more knowledge of Wikipedia policy than I do. Thanks. 76.251.28.21 (talk) 21:48, 29 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]
