Wikipedia's policies

[edit]

Wikipedia has multiple policies that you are constantly going against.

The first is verifiability, which states that "Material challenged or likely to be challenged, and all quotations, must be attributed to a reliable, published source." where reliable sources are those with "reputation for fact-checking and accuracy'"

Another policy is the no original research, which states that "all material in Wikipedia must be attributable to a reliable, published source. and Articles may not contain any new analysis or synthesis of published material that serves to advance a position not clearly advanced by the sources."

Part of that policy states that statements must be cited by secondary sources, not primary sources. You'll need to find secondary reliables sources for the content that you are trying to add. Regards, -- Jeff3000 (talk) 22:33, 31 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Please abide by Wikipedia's policies, noted above. Regards, -- Jeff3000 (talk) 13:58, 2 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

3RR warning

[edit]

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 several reversions in content disputes may be blocked for edit warring even if they do not technically violate the three-revert rule. When in dispute with another editor you should first try to discuss controversial changes to work towards wording and content that gains a consensus among editors. Should that prove unsuccessful, you are encouraged to seek dispute resolution, and in some cases it may be appropriate to request page protection. Please stop the disruption, otherwise you may be blocked from editing. -- Jeff3000 (talk) 16:44, 2 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

It seems that this war is being waged against me. I have merely quoted the words of Jesus regarding the nature of the kingdom of God. What I have written is not original research. Almost all of the article is based on biblical quotations (primary sources) which is what I have provided. It seems that those who keep deleting my contribution know little about the subject and are not qualified to write about the subject much less delete what I have written. Therefore, I ask, on what basis and on whose authority do you threaten me and keep deleting my contributions? I thought that the whole purpose of Wikipedia was to provide information to improve an article. This is my motivation. It seems you have a different purpose and agenda. I would appreciate some explanation as to why you do not delete all the statements in the article based on primary (biblical) sources. This seems to be the crux of the matter. I would be happy to try and resolve the dispute (or even understand what is disputed) but I don't know how. No explanation has been given to me as to why my contribution is being deleted. I would ask that those who keep deleting my addition stop--especially if they are unable of unwilling to give a reason. Doctrine 2 November 2009

Sorry, saying that other articles don't abide by Wikipedia policies, and the article in question has current portions which are problematic doesn't allow you to make it worse. Please abide by Wikipedia policies or you will be blocked. Regards, -- Jeff3000 (talk) 07:12, 3 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]
