I should point out that an [[Wikipedia:Requests for arbitration/The Troubles|arbitration case last year]] gave wikipedia administrators [[Wikipedia:Requests for arbitration/The Troubles#Probation_for_disruptive_editors|wide-ranging powers to place editors on probation]] where there are disputes relating to [[The Troubles]] in Northern Ireland. This decision was made after a long history of wide-ranging disputes affecting many articles, because of the disruption caused. When editing wikipedia on topics related to [[The Troubles]], it is therefore particularly important to help maintain a calm and constructive atmosphere. --[[User:BrownHairedGirl|<span style="color:#996600">Brown</span>HairedGirl]] <small>[[User_talk:BrownHairedGirl|(talk)]] • ([[Special:Contributions/BrownHairedGirl|contribs]])</small> 12:57, 23 April 2008 (UTC) |

Revision as of 13:15, 23 April 2008
Talk pages
Please take care when discussing an article to remember that talk pages on wikipedia are not web forums for general discussion. The purpose of a talk page is to discuss with other editors, with the aim of reaching a consensus, and wikipedia has a number of policies and guidelines designed to help maintain at atmosphere in which consensus may be reached, such as WP:CIVIL and WP:NPA.
The second sentence of Wikipedia:Talk page guidelines says in bold type that "Article talk pages should not be used by editors as platforms for their personal views". That clearly includes using political slogans such as "no surrender", as you did in this edit to Talk:Martina Anderson, and the same would apply equally to other political slogan from difft points on the political spectrum ("Tiocfaidh ár lá" would be equally unacceptable).
I notice that you have already received several warnings about your editing. Please take these warnings on board, or action may be taken to enforce these policies.
I should point out that an arbitration case last year gave wikipedia administrators wide-ranging powers to place editors on probation where there are disputes relating to The Troubles in Northern Ireland. This decision was made after a long history of wide-ranging disputes affecting many articles, because of the disruption caused. When editing wikipedia on topics related to The Troubles, it is therefore particularly important to help maintain a calm and constructive atmosphere. --BrownHairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 12:57, 23 April 2008 (UTC)
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. BigDunc (talk) 13:15, 23 April 2008 (UTC)
