User talk:UnknownUnknown2000
You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war according to the reverts you have made on Chris Kyle. Users are expected to collaborate with others, to avoid editing disruptively, and to try to reach a consensus rather than repeatedly undoing other users' edits once it is known that there is a disagreement.
Please be particularly aware, Wikipedia's policy on edit warring states:
- Edit warring is disruptive regardless of how many reverts you have made; that is to say, editors are not automatically "entitled" to three reverts.
- 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 engage in an edit war, you may be blocked from editing. Kuru (talk) 03:12, 21 February 2014 (UTC)

Please stop re-adding information from infowars. Discuss this issue on the talk page before we have to deal with WP:3RR. Chris Troutman (talk) 03:43, 21 February 2014 (UTC)

Request reason:
Hello, I want to apologize for apparently breaking the rules. I am extremely new to editing wikipedia and did not even know about the talk page for the article, or about my personal talk page here with the warning on it until I found out I was blocked and googled it. I was attempting to update the article regarding new information using the same exact source as found in citation/footnote #19. I assumed that someone else was maliciously removing my edits repeatedly. Being new, I did not know about the 3RR rule, and repeatedly put my content back. I would request, now that I am aware of the rules to be unbanned, and also an explanation as to why what I felt was a constructive addition to this article using the same accepted source in footnote #19 regarding a living person is allowed to be deleted? Or was the person that was repeatedly deleting my content also banned? Once again my apologies for breaking the rules and for the perhaps naive questions.
Accept reason:
I am strongly of the opinion that the present version of the Wikipedia interface, unlike earlier versions, does not make it clear enough to new editors when they have got new messages on their talk page, and so I am willing to believe that you did not realise. An orange notice does appear near the top of the page, but it is rather small and can easily be missed by someone who has no reason to be looking for it. It seems that several other editors think that infowars is not a sufficiently reliable source. As for why they have not removed another reference to that same source, you had better ask them, but my guess is that they did not notice it, and very probably one of them will remove it if you point it out to them. There was no "person that was repeatedly deleting [your] content": rather there were several other editors who each removed it once, or in one case twice, as you can see from the editing history of the article.

- The above "welcome" message has come a little late, but better late than never. As you can see, it has links to numerous policies, guidelines, and pages intended to help editors. Don't try to read and digest them all before you do any more editing, as there is far too much there, but do have a quick look at any that seem relevant to your present needs, and of course you can always come back to it in the future when other things become relevant. Also, please do feel welcome to contact me on my talk page if you have any questions. Wikipedia can be an intimidating place for new editors, and although I can't promise to know everything, after editing for seven and a half years there is a good chance that I will know at least something about most types of issues that you are likely to encounter.
