Left-right politics

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war according to the reverts you have made on Left-right politics. Users are expected to collaborate with others and avoid editing disruptively.

In particular, the three-revert rule states that:

Making more than three reversions on a single page within a 24-hour period is almost always grounds for an immediate block.
Do not edit war even if you believe you are right.

If you find yourself in an editing dispute, use the article's talk page to discuss controversial changes; work towards a version that represents consensus among editors. You can post a request for help at an appropriate noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases it may be appropriate to request temporary page protection. If you continue to edit war, you may be blocked from editing without further notice. TFD (talk) 18:24, 8 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Well, I might be wasting my time, but that would be a pity, since all I'm doing is turning a half-baked article full of unsourced ignorant POV into one that's a little more balanced, and indeed sourced.

I arrived and made a careful edit with a long note , and ti was deleted with 'appears to be OR'. Charming.

So I go in again and make a series of careful edits, each annotated. Which of those do you disagree with?You've done a petulant mass-reversion without even looking.

So, for example, I replaced the (unsourced) statement that the first political parties were formed in the 19th century with the sourced, linked statement that they were formed in the 18th. DO you go and have a look at the Whig entry? No, you revert it unread.

I replace an unsourced, PoV assertion that all green parties have rejected socialism with a more qualified phrasing - and this is reverted.

Conservative parties are generally unsuccessful? Really? How's that for some unsourced POV - which you stuck back in.

And then, rather than actually discuss anything, you throw a big scary red sticker at me - go away or leave my little fiefdom or i'll ban you.

I suggest you set your ego aside and have a look at the article. It's junk, full of unsourced factually untrue POV assertions. Is that how you like it? Bge20 (talk) 21:21, 8 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]
