Chick Publications[edit]

Please stop reverting to your edits. First, the claim that jihad is a holy war against unbelievers isn't a controversial claim; secondly, not only is 'Mormons' not an insulting name (and Mormons didn't exist 2,000 years ago), but your replacement is wrongly spelt and capitalised); thirdly, there's nothing wrong with et al. Mel Etitis (Μελ Ετητης) 13:35, 27 Mar 2005 (UTC)

'Mormon' is at least as common a designation

yes, but it is not the same as LDS

Given that the term 'Church of the Latter Day Saints' was spelt correctly on the next line, I really don't understand why you couldn't spell it correctly (I mean: 'church later day saints'...)

spelling isn't my thing

What do you have against the perfectly correct et al.?

I didn't understand what it meant 'til I studied psychology at 14

One of the common uses of the term 'jihad' amongst Muslims is holy war. Mel Etitis (Μελ Ετητης) 13:55, 27 Mar 2005 (UTC)

its a claim...

Spelling may not be 'your thing', but on Wikipedia you should make an effort, and certainly not revert other people's corrections of your spelling. That's beginning to look like vandalism rather than editing on the basis of genuine disagreement. If you persist I shall list you on the Vandalism in Progress page.

threats? i reverted the spelling because you *also* removed jihad

The fact that you didn't understand a term until you were fourteen is irrelevant to its use on Wikipedia.

plain english - they mean the same, yet one is understood by lots more people

With regard to 'Mormon' and 'jihad', if you can't be bothered to explain your point properly, it doesn't seem to be important enough to you to continue making the changes. Mel Etitis (<fontcolor="green">Μελ Ετητης) 14:06, 27 Mar 2005 (UTC)

some muslims think holy war, others inner strugle, chick thinks holy war against christians, let by vatican...an non-politically correct position

You are allowed to revert an article three times in twenty-four hours; more, and you're blocked from editing. I have tried to compromise, changing 'mormon' to LDS, but you continue to wholesale revert my edits, including my correction of your misspelling. Mel Etitis (Μελ Ετητης) 14:14, 27 Mar 2005 (UTC)

It's okay to disagree with people, but don't change reports to Wikipedia:Vandalism in progress to change your name into that of your accuser. People will think you have something to hide, which may result in you being taken less serious. If you want to complain just add another entry. Mgm|^(talk) 22:40, Mar 27, 2005 (UTC)

The Talk page is, well, the Talk page of whichever article you're editing. In this case, it's Talk:Chick Publications. It's where controversial issues are discussed. I've explained there why I deleted your sentence (though my edit summary said it clearly enough; it simply repeated what had already been said). Mel Etitis (Μελ Ετητης) 15:01, 28 Mar 2005 (UTC)

Please explain your edits on the Talk page; don't just revert edits wholesale with nothing but an edit summary making vague claims about PoV vandalism. If you think that any of the changes are PoV, explain why; you then stand a chance of garnering support for your position. As it is, your actions are going to lead to nothing but a revert war, which is pointless, and may well lead to the page being protected. or yourself being blocked from editing. None of us wants that, so come and talk. Mel Etitis (Μελ Ετητης) 11:57, 30 Mar 2005 (UTC) you remove 1/3 of the page, material fully supported with links, that is vandalism - removing non-point of view material

Get a grip, 10001[edit]

I know you want to present your material to me, but you just vandalized (unintentionally, I assume) my user page. Protection gives you and the other an opportunity to hash out what goes and what stays, and where. I'm sure you can make an argument for your point of view other than by reverting. If you can't, you will be inevitably shut out, and probably blocked. Also, you must learn to sign your comments with ~~~~. -- Cecropia | explains it all ® 17:03, 30 Mar 2005 (UTC)

Three revert rule[edit]

You have been blocked for 12 hours under the three revert rule. If you wish to appeal please contact another administrator or the mailing list.Geni 06:47, 31 Mar 2005 (UTC)

Appropriately unblocked by User:Neutrality. Geni, it would have been better if you had investigated this and also notified this user before blocking. This situation was already being handled. -- Cecropia | explains it all ® 07:44, 31 Mar 2005 (UTC)
