Berlin Wall[edit]

Moved from user talk:elipongo § Berlin Wall

Hello friend. Regarding the edit you're trying to make to Berlin Wall, please understand that you have to add a citation to the article to verify the information, mentioning a TV station in your edit summary is insufficient. If you don't know how to write a citation, click the links in this message. Thanks and happy editing! —Elipongo (Talk contribs) 05:53, 6 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I read the citation page. No citation needed cuz it says "This requires inline citations for any material challenged or likely to be challenged, and for all quotations." Please put my edit back. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Ghbvgy (talk • contribs) 05:59, 6 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Are we not challenging it by removing it? It isn't very difficult to stick a weblink into the article to back up your edit, please do so and we'll fix it into a good citation for you. But I'm NOT going to FIND the citation for you. Why do you think Wikipedia deserves references less than a high school term paper? —Elipongo (Talk contribs) 06:07, 6 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Why would you have challenged it in the first place. If you want to challenge something for needing citations. Start at the top of the article.

The Berlin Wall (German: Berliner Mauer) was a barrier constructed by the German Democratic Republic (GDR, East Germany) starting on 13 August 1961, that completely cut off West Berlin from surrounding East Germany and from East Berlin. NOT CITED

The Soviet-dominated Eastern Bloc officially claimed that the wall was erected to protect its population from fascist elements conspiring to prevent the "will of the people" in building a Socialist State in East Germany. NOT CITED

However, in practice, the Wall served to prevent the massive emigration and defection that marked Germany and the communist Eastern Bloc during the post-World War II period. NOT CITED

You have a lot of work to do deleting content from that article for not being cited. Good luck! Ghbvgy (talk) —Preceding undated comment added 06:23, 6 March 2011 (UTC).[reply]

I'm sorry, but why are you arguing with me? I am trying to help you. I have practically given you step by step instructions, why won't you work with me? —Elipongo (Talk contribs) 06:50, 6 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Just looking back at your edits I see you put {{cn}} in the Laugh In page but you deleted what I put in. Why didn't you delete that content too? If your method of challenging is to delete, I think you should have deleted the Laugh In content. Wouldn't it be better to put the notation in what I contributed and left me a note. Ghbvgy (talk) 06:37, 6 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I decided to tag it there to give the editors there a chance to see there's a problem and correct it. You I told immediately by posting here. All I'm asking you to do is provide a link in the article with your edit and I'll do the rest - what more could you want? Why do you keep arguing? —Elipongo (Talk contribs) 06:56, 6 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Excuse me. You deleted my addition. I can understand deleting something that is wrong, incorrect, or in need of a challenge, but not just because it lacks a citation. I wanted to show you that there is lots of information just on that page that is not cited. And if you think deleting is the way to resolve that, you have a lot of work to do deleting. Of course it is absurd that you picked two uncited places on the Laugh In page in the middle of dozens of uncited references to say they need a citation. Below the edit box it says "Encyclopedic content must be verifiable." It does not say everything added to Wikipedia needs to be cited with a source before it goes in. If it does, let me know. I would be glad to help by deleting stuff that is not cited. Ghbvgy (talk) 07:15, 6 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Ah! The old other stuff exists argument - you're not the first nor will you be the last to make it. Anyways, you can lead a horse to water but you can't make him drink. I'm going to bed, goodnight. —Elipongo (Talk contribs) 07:32, 6 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

March 2011[edit]

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war according to the reverts you have made on Berlin Wall. 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. Tbhotch* ^{۩ ۞} 05:56, 6 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
