September 2008[edit]

Welcome to Wikipedia, and thank you for your contributions. One of the core policies of Wikipedia is that articles should always be written from a neutral point of view. A contribution you made to Lewis Hamilton appears to carry a non-neutral point of view, and your edit may have been changed or reverted to correct the problem. Please remember to observe our core policies. Thank you. Beve (talk) 07:03, 9 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

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 a large number of reversions in content disputes may be blocked for edit warring, even if they do not technically violate the three-revert rule. If you continue, you may be blocked from editing. Please do not repeatedly revert edits, but use the talk page to work towards wording and content that gains a consensus among editors. If necessary, pursue dispute resolution. Narson (talk) 17:49, 9 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Please do not add commentary or your own personal analysis to Wikipedia articles, as you did to Lewis Hamilton. Doing so violates Wikipedia's neutral point of view policy and breaches the formal tone expected in an encyclopedia. Thank you. Beve (talk) 17:55, 9 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I have put a message up regarding your breach of 3RR here. Sorry for the delay in telling you - Hanlon's razor applies! Pfainuk talk 18:46, 9 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

You have been blocked from editing for a period of 24 hours in accordance with Wikipedia's blocking policy for Edit warring. Once the block has expired, you are welcome to make constructive contributions. If you believe this block is unjustified, you may contest the block by adding the text {{unblock|your reason here}} below, but you should read our guide to appealing blocks first.

This user's unblock request has been reviewed by an administrator, who declined the request. Other administrators may also review this block, but should not override the decision without good reason (see the blocking policy).

Robbo25 (block log • active blocks • global blocks • contribs • deleted contribs • filter log • creation log • change block settings • unblock • checkuser (log))

Request reason:

I thought Wikipedia was about creating articles using fair and accurate facts, clearly that is not true. The addition was correct and backed-up with a source

Decline reason:

We blocked you for edit warring, not necessarily for inserting false information (although I've yet to look at what it was you were adding). When your edits get removed, you're expected to discuss with others why it was removed rather than repeatedly putting it back in. — Hersfold ^(t/a/c) 21:40, 9 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

If you want to make any further unblock requests, please read the guide to appealing blocks first, then use the {{unblock}} template again. If you make too many unconvincing or disruptive unblock requests, you may be prevented from editing this page until your block has expired. Do not remove this unblock review while you are blocked.

Your recent edits[edit]

Hi there. In case you didn't know, when you add content to talk pages and Wikipedia pages that have open discussion, you should sign your posts by typing four tildes ( ~~~~ ) at the end of your comment. If you can't type the tilde character, you should click on the signature button located above the edit window. This will automatically insert a signature with your name and the time you posted the comment. This information is useful because other editors will be able to tell who said what, and when. Thank you! --SineBot (talk) 00:02, 11 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Final vandalism warning[edit]

This is the last warning you will receive for your disruptive edits, such as the one you made to Lewis Hamilton. If you vandalize Wikipedia again, you will be blocked from editing. Pyrop e 01:12, 11 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Blocked again[edit]

You have been blocked for edit warring at Lewis Hamilton. Because you were blocked for the same behavior at the same article and evidently did not take it seriously, the block is now 72 hours. You may resume editing after the block expires, but any further edit warring will result in even longer blocks without warning. Discuss the changes you want to make instead of reverting, not in addition to it. Kafziel ^{Complaint Department} 01:22, 11 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

It's a shame that despite Wikipedia trying to shed it's image of being a poor source of information it doesn't actually seem to be doing anything about it. Facts aren't allowed here it selyems on POV. Farcical.

You keep going on about POV and how it's factual and all that, but you have yet to offer a convincing reason as to why the change you want to make will actually improve the article. So it's sourced. So what? Even a completely uninvolved outsider such as myself can see that you just keep making the change, offering nothing but arguments and accusations on the talk page. The burning need to make such a minor change makes one question your agenda, not that of the status quo. If you can't take the time to explain yourself in a reasonable, thoughtful, civil manner, then you can't make the change. If you can calm down and rationally discuss why it's important, you'll have a better chance of being heard. If not, these blocks will just get longer and longer. Kafziel ^{Complaint Department} 08:22, 11 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

And the detractors have still not providing a suitable reason why it shouldn't be included. It works both ways you know!!! --Robbo25 (talk) 12:56, 11 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Actually, they gave you three good reasons right off the bat. Nicely bulleted, even. You responded with nothing but outrage and insults which, as you can see, won't get you very far. Kafziel ^{Complaint Department} 14:47, 11 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I suggest you look up "insult" because you clearly don't know the definition of it. They didn't give valid reasons at all it was nothing more than POV and they continued to vandalise the article by removing a perfectly acceptable contribution. --Robbo25 (talk) 21:05, 11 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I strongly suggest you stop with the smart remarks and accusations of vandalism, or this isn't going to move forward. Nobody is vandalizing anything; you are all just having a disagreement. Vandalism is a very specific thing—you've been told this already—and disputes about content do not fit that. If you refuse to discuss it rationally and politely, I will block you permanently. I'm a very patient person, but if it's clear that you're never going to be willing to work here in a constructive way, I don't need to let you keep editing. So think carefully about what you say and do next. Kafziel ^{Complaint Department} 21:27, 11 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

More worthless excuses, it's embarrassing! Again; the addition I made to the article was valid and factually correct, but that seems to be an issue with some members of this community all they care for is articles based on a majorities POV. --Robbo25 (talk) 22:25, 11 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Well, you needn't concern yourself with it anymore. Kafziel ^{Complaint Department} 23:40, 11 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
