[edit]

Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, your addition of one or more external links to the page Political prisoner has been reverted.
Your edit here was reverted by an automated bot that attempts to remove links which are discouraged per our external links guideline from Wikipedia. The external link you added or changed is on my list of links to remove and probably shouldn't be included in Wikipedia. I removed the following link(s): http://breakallchains.blogspot.com/2010/12/wikileaks-bradley-manning-isnt-criminal.html. If the external link you inserted or changed was to a blog, forum, free web hosting service, fansite, or similar site (see 'Links to avoid', #11), then please check the information on the external site thoroughly. Note that such sites should probably not be linked to if they contain information that is in violation of the creator's copyright (see Linking to copyrighted works), or they are not written by a recognised, reliable source. Linking to sites that you are involved with is also strongly discouraged (see conflict of interest).
If you were trying to insert an external link that does comply with our policies and guidelines, then please accept my creator's apologies and feel free to undo the bot's revert. However, if the link does not comply with our policies and guidelines, but your edit included other, constructive, changes to the article, feel free to make those changes again without re-adding the link. Please read Wikipedia's external links guideline for more information, and consult my list of frequently-reverted sites. For more information about me, see my FAQ page. Thanks! --XLinkBot (talk) 05:43, 17 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Political Prisoner

[edit]

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war. Users who edit disruptively or refuse to collaborate with others may be blocked if they continue. 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. If you find yourself in an editing dispute, use the talk page to discuss controversial changes. Work towards wording and content that gains consensus among editors. If unsuccessful, then do not edit war even if you believe you are right. 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 edit warring continues, you may be blocked from editing without further notice.

You have been blocked temporarily from editing for edit warring. Once the block has expired, you are welcome to make useful contributions. If you would like to be unblocked, you may appeal this block by adding the text {{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}} below this notice, but you should read the guide to appealing blocks first. - Barek (talkcontribs) - 07:06, 17 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

During a dispute, you should first try to discuss controversial changes and seek consensus. If that proves unsuccessful you are encouraged to seek dispute resolution, and in some cases it may be appropriate to request page protection.

I intended to come here and give you the "big welcome," but I note is already at the top of this page!

I appreciated your input on the Political prisoner talk page, and I'm dissapointed to see that you've managed to be blocked over this dispute. I belive that could have been handeled better by more experianced editors, and I'm glad to see that you're back editting.

Please stop-readding material to the page until there is some consensus. While you're not being trated very well, you'll end up blocked again if you don't stop. Can you please reply here (on on my talk) and explicitly acknowledge that you'll slow down and not re-add the material? This acknowledgement will cool things down enough that we (collectively) can have a chat. - Aaron Brenneman (talk) 01:16, 22 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Oh, and don't say rude things to another editor, ("you're a liar", etc) as it is easy to get blocked for that as well. Only comment on the edits themselves, however hard that may be... - Aaron Brenneman (talk) 01:24, 22 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Well, I did offer to discuss the entry. There's really no point if someone's going to delete it immediately, without reading the citations and claiming that they're doing it because the citations aren't up to muster. That Bidgee would be more credible if it took him longer than thirty seconds to delete the entry--calling him a liar, which I stopped short of doing, seems well within the bounds of reasonable discourse, given that he couldn't have read the citations that he claims are inadequate.
In any case, it seems like the final solution was to delete the whole entry. That wasn't my intention, but its fairer than what was going on before. As someone else noted, my entry was very well sourced and documented, and had official statements from Manning's lawyer, who is also a military official. I'm fairly new to Wikipedia. DO you have any suggestions on how to proceed? Cecilex (talk) 01:51, 22 December 2010 (UTC)Cecilex (talk) 02:25, 22 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]
To date, you've been doing as well as can be expected under the circumstances. I'm not at all pleased with the number of times you re-added the material to the page, but I am quite sympathetic to why you were doing so. I'm hoping that all concerned editors can take part in reasoned discourse, and now that the whole section has been removed that may be possible. One thing that often catches out new-comers is the dichotomy between how quickly the page can actually be editted and how slowly agreement on those edits comes about.
The article isn't going anywhere. Taking a week to sort out on the article's talk page a clear, consistant set of inclusion criteria is worth the time.
