Please do not add or change content without verifying it by citing reliable sources, as you did to Yehya Saade. Please review the guidelines at Wikipedia:Citing sources and take this opportunity to add references to the article. Thank you. Fæ (talk) 11:10, 9 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Please do not add unsourced content, as you did to Yehya Saade. This contravenes Wikipedia's policy on verifiability. If you continue to do so, you may be blocked from editing Wikipedia. You are misusing footnotes, giving the impression of citations when they are purely tangential. This is misleading and appears deliberate due to your repeated additions of poorly sourced and non-neutral material. Fæ (talk) 12:15, 9 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war according to the reverts you have made on Yehya Saade. 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. Fæ (talk) 12:31, 9 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

This is your last warning. You will be blocked from editing the next time you vandalize a page, as you did with this edit to Yehya Saade. Katieh5584 (talk) 12:38, 9 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

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 ~~~~}}, but you should read the guide to appealing blocks first.

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.

This block resulted from a new user creating an article without understanding our basic policies or procedures. He was not aware that other editors could make changes to the article and he continued to revert them. I have explained (from the #wikipedia-en-help channel) that:

All articles must be backed up by reliable sources
Notability is determined by significant coverage from reliable sources
Nobody owns an article once it is live
Creating a userspace draft is a better way to work on a new article while learning our policies.

The user has agreed to:

Only edit from one account.
Create a userspace draft of the article Yehya Saade
Add sources to confirm the notability of the subject
Learn about our policies
Discuss contested changes with other editors on the article talk page.

Thus, requesting unblock... Ocaasi^{t | c} 14:20, 9 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
