Tasitolu

Hello Belchfire! When was Tasitolu changed to a national park? Do you have a source? AFAIK there are still only plans to create a national park, although they build aluxury hotel there. Greetings, --J. Patrick Fischer (talk) 08:39, 22 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Edit Waring

Please do not edit out what over dozens of referances show. You are trying to injet your POV in Viloation of Wikipedia standards. I also see you have been editing without even going to TALK, another basic standard of Wikipedia. 216.81.94.68 (talk) 11:34, 25 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

You are ignoring consensus and... projecting your own nonsense onto others. Your edits aren't likely to survive the day, so I hope they make you feel good about yourself while they last. Cheers. Belchfire (talk) 11:40, 25 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

And where is this consensus? If you had even looked in the Talk section you would have seen the only references are supportive of the anti-gay title. You have not posted even once in TALK and provided no references. I have asked a Admin to look into this as you are not editing in Good Faith and have not even posted in talk, let alone added any good references. 216.81.94.68 (talk) 11:46, 25 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

While I have no strong personal opinion about the above user's changes to the article, you were very close to a 3RR violation by some's standards. Please try to keep this in mind and ask for another editor to review if you're unsure about a second or third reversion. Best, Blurpeace 14:21, 25 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

To give you additional caution, I will add that a user who has had prior blocks for edit warring should have gotten the message already, and will no longer get three free swings at the bat. In other words, you don't need to exceed three reverts to be blocked for edit warring. So please take care. While WP:BRD is neither an official policy or guideline, the long-timers and admins on Wikipedia generally adhere to it as if it were policy, so please read it over and do your best. ~Amatulić (talk) 15:28, 25 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks all the same, but I'll take the 48-hour block that was put on the IP user as a more concrete indication of how admins viewed this situation. I think I made it pretty clear to anybody watching that I was washing my hands of the situation. Belchfire (talk) 18:08, 25 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

A barnstar for you!

Actually, he was trying to add bias, not remove it, and he was using edit-warring to get his way. I don't believe he should be rewarded for this. Still-24-45-42-125 (talk) 03:51, 26 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]
