If you look at it from an abstract point of view though it's clear that Scott donated as an extention of his religion and lost his job for it.Reply

If people are punished for voting or in this case donating to a political cause that qualifies as political repression.

adding disputed content to Scott Eckern

  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. AV3000 (talk) 11:51, 3 December 2008 (UTC)Reply

Regarding James Cameron page

edit

Please stop removing the content about his atheism by citing random wikipedia policy. This is at least third time you have removed this content without giving good explaination. This content has been in James Cameron since years and we have WP:RS like his biograhy. If you are interested, there has been discussion on this regard. Please go throught the history of discussion pages to read it. I understand that having Catholic in your username, personally you don't want to see famous personalities being atheist. But wikipedia is no place to bring your personal prejudice. -Abhishikt 23:19, 20 April 2011 (UTC)

Removal of references to atheism

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 Jamie Hyneman 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 this important core policy. Thank you. SummerPhD (talk) 19:56, 25 April 2011 (UTC)Reply

Hi, CatholicW. I notice that you've done some really good work in removing unsourced material relating to BLP subjects' atheism, for which I agree with you and commend you. (James Cameron and Peter Fonda, for example.) However, I notice that in two recent examples, you removed references to subjects' atheism that were indeed sourced, specifically this edit to Jamie Hyneman and this edit to Matt Stone. In keeping with Wikipedia's policies on Verifiability, source reliability and source citation, the material you removed was indeed supported by the sources cited in those articles. The versions you created are not. If you'd like to discuss this me further, I'd be happy to; just let me know by leaving a message for me in a new section at the bottom of my talk page. Thanks. :-) Nightscream (talk) 01:54, 26 April 2011 (UTC)Reply

As has been mentioned by others on this page you should not alter referenced info to look like it is saying something that it is not. If you want to add info about his beliefs in the past - with references - that is fine. But do not try to rewrite his recent words. MarnetteD | Talk 21:13, 28 April 2011 (UTC)Reply
Please do your experimenting in the WP:SANDBOX. when you are finished then you may enter it into the article currently you are attempting to put words in his mouth that he did not say in the Mar 2011 interview. MarnetteD | Talk 21:20, 28 April 2011 (UTC)Reply
 

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war according to the reverts you have made on Matt Stone. Users are expected to collaborate with others and avoid editing disruptively.

In particular, the three-revert rule states that:

  1. Making more than three reversions on a single page within a 24-hour period is almost always grounds for an immediate block.
  2. 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. MarnetteD | Talk 21:20, 28 April 2011 (UTC)Reply

  Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute to Wikipedia, at least one of your recent edits, such as the one you made to The Human Centipede (First Sequence) with this edit, did not appear to be constructive, and has been reverted or removed. Please use the sandbox for any test edits you would like to make, and read the welcome page to learn more about contributing constructively to this encyclopedia. Thank you.   — Jeff G. ツ (talk) 03:26, 31 October 2011 (UTC)Reply

  Please do not attack other editors, as you did at Talk:The Human Centipede (First Sequence). Comment on content, not on contributors. Personal attacks damage the community and deter users. Please stay cool and keep this in mind while editing. Thank you. It doesn't matter how much you dislike the article, that doesn't give you the right to attack contributors.

  This is your last warning. The next time you disrupt Wikipedia, as you did at James Cameron, you may be blocked from editing without further notice. With this edit you seem to have resumed your edit warring over Cameron's atheism, an activity for which you have previously been warned. In view of your very recent block, this kind of behavior is highly inadvisable. Favonian (talk) 16:59, 2 November 2011 (UTC)Reply

I notice that you've extended your pov-pushing on atheists and catholics to a new dimension: Labelling evil people as atheists, regardless of what sources say - cf [1] [2] &c. Stop this now. You might well believe that Catholicism is Good and Atheism is Bad, but it is not appropriate to distort wikipedia articles to further that message.

blocked for edit warring

edit

Given your contribution history and earlier warnings about this, I've blocked you from editing for 72 hours because you have edit warred over an atheism category at Kim Jong Il (moreover, the source you cited in the latest edit does not support the assertion, nor would that source tend to be taken as reliable on this topic).

You were blocked for edit warring. As an aside, no, "USA International Business Publications" may sound to you like a respectable name and they may indeed be respectable, one way or another, but I'm not aware of any hint that they're ever meaningfully cited anywhere as a reliable source on the theistic outlooks of Asian politicians and/or leaders.

At what point did my improvements become edit warring?

--CatholicW (talk) 05:54, 19 December 2011 (UTC)Reply

After a warning today by the other editor above, along with this one by me. I should also say, given your background on this topic and the lack of reliable sourcing, there is unlikely to be a consensus that your edits were improvements. Gwen Gale (talk) 06:01, 19 December 2011 (UTC)Reply

Darn I missed your suggestion that we talk about this at the end of your long post.

As for the other editor (not you) I call AID's an infectious disease even if some with it don't like it when I state fact.

You really might want to reconsider considering USA International Business Publications not respectable enough to cite they seem to be very respectable [3]. --CatholicW (talk) 06:10, 19 December 2011 (UTC)Reply

This warning by the other editor had nothing to do with AIDS, it had to do with you adding the atheist category to Kim Jong Il. An Amazon listing neither makes a publication "respectable," nor reliable as a source. Either way, "respectable" is not at all the same thing as reliable as to sourcing. You were blocked for trying to add those categories three times today. That's edit warring, which isn't allowed here. Gwen Gale (talk) 06:21, 19 December 2011 (UTC)Reply
The first two sources did not verify your claim and this third one is clearly just forking some revision of our article. Misuse of sources is worse than lack of citations. Prolog (talk) 06:43, 19 December 2011 (UTC)Reply

It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.
