Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Superpower, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page French Empire (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Please note that enforcement of reliable sourcing and neutral POV does not excuse edit-warring, and you're way past 3RR. Please use the talkpage to discuss: I've fully protected the article for twelve hours to stop the edit-warring. Acroterion (talk) 18:08, 31 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Antiochus the Great has abused pages and pages of articles and seek to report article pushing by this editor.--27.121.111.201 (talk) 18:18, 31 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

@ 27.x.x.x, If you treat this as a personal grievance rather than as a matter for appropriate discussion I will change my approach to this issue. You were warned about personal attacks. Acroterion (talk) 18:23, 31 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Yes of course, apologies for the edit warring. But it appears I am being branded as "anti-Russia" by the IP editors, because I insist on removing nationalistic EU/Russian POV from the article, re-writing it in a more neutral tone and then relocating it in a more suitable place within the article. The Superpower article has attracted a significant amount of POV (due to its subject matter) and if you were to review my contributions to the article you would see that I am trying to address those issues (as well as others). The IP editors only agenda is to retain the nationalistic Russian POV in the article, there is no reasoning to be had with such logic. Therefore any discussion I attempt to make with the IP would be rather pointless.

There was also an issue of undue weight being given to the nationalistic POV too. Before my edits, the bulk of it was contained in the articles lead paragraph (a prominent place) - this was simply unacceptable! Unacceptable because the Superpower article is intended to cover the subject matter of the terminology, origins and characteristics of a Superpower - and not a place for nationalistic chest beating!

I would really appreciate it if you to compare my revision (the revision currently protected) with the revision the IP wants to reinstate and please express your opinion. Thank you. Antiochus the Great (talk) 18:51, 31 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

The IP really isn't making much sense as I had thought would be the case. Antiochus the Great (talk) 19:52, 31 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]
