Can 68.174.156.137 be banned from Wikipedia for continually removing source(s) from the Emeraude Toubia Wikipedia article without leaving an edit summary? Thank you. 12.180.133.18 ( talk) 23:54, 30 June 2015 (UTC)
The reverts are of the two anonymous IP editors. I explained in the edit summaries that per all sources in the main body of the article the rebel offensive ended with an operational failure since they did not achieve any of their stated gains (capture of the city). One of the two IPs insisted it was indecisive while providing NO sources to back up his claim which makes his edit OR (Original Research). The other IP reverted me without making any edit summary at all. Further indication of OR is that the IP made the edit (as he himself said) based on the pattern of a previous battle. At the very least the page should be protected on the basis of the IPs making unsourced edits. That I made no attempts at dispute resolution is incorrect since I tried talking to them via the edit summaries, which was replied with accusations of me celebrating too early.

Hello Neil,
I'm truly sorry about my edit to the Dion Phaneuf page. I was told about a trade by what I believed was a reputable source, and then found out otherwise. I went back to correct my mistake but you had reverted it before I could. I'll be more careful next time.

Thank you for your feedback regarding the Austen Riggs Center page. I am curious about which parts of the page you feel read like an advertisement (or, if you could highlight one example, to give me an idea of what needs to be corrected). I am interested in improving the page so that it conforms fully to the proper guidelines. Any further input or advice you have would be appreciated. Thank you very much.

Hi Neil,
My author Amy Cuddy is having trouble with unauthorized changes to her Wikipedia page. /info/en/?search=Amy_Cuddy
This paragraph is being inserted under Replication Efforts "On their datacolada blog, Simmons and Simonsohn (2015) [20] analysed all reports finding a significant effect of power posing. Based on the distribution of reported p-values, they concluded that "labs that run studies that worked wrote them up, labs that run studies that didn’t, didn’t" and "the simplest explanation is that all studied effects are zero".
This is not peer-reviewed research, but instead a blog. And should not be included, per the Wikipedia rules.
We've changed this section a number of times and it is continually being changed back. Can you help?

Hi, I saw that you deleted my entry to the Generation Z page - this was actually my first contribution so I am not sure what I did wrong... I added the term Centennials as another popular name referring to Gen Z, which seemed to be in line with the rest of the content on the page and I thought it was an important addition. Below are some links to recent articles that reference this. Can you explain what I did or didn't do? Thanks
This has been widely used in the media: below are some links to recent articles that reference this:

Thanks for the reply- I guess I thought that Centennials is much more widely used than iGeneration/iGen and the Pluralists, neither of which have gained any traction whatsoever. Centennials seemed like a good addition as it is popping up more and more by major news outlets.

You claim to have undone my corrections in the name of keeping the page neutral. I beg to differ. Stating that only some sects are as old or historically remarkable over the other is the biased position.
The deletion of the Mormon mythology is because the sect is categorically though still a sect under the umbrella of the Abrahamic Mythology, is in fact not a christian sect. It is in fact philosophically, contextually and tangibly different and there for needs its own page and should not be listed here. Anything else would in fact be incorrect and biased.

Hello Neil,
About the page Esperanza de Saráchaga you blocked and protected today, FactStraight and myself have been working on it from time to time in the recent past. The article was full with outlandish claims that were to good to be true. I've purged the article of most of them that were obviously false. A number of IP editors (one of which has requested this block) keep coming with sources that would establish these persons having all kinds of titles, but their sources stop short of actually establishing what they purport to say. Having become wary and extremely careful about claims from, what could be the authors of the original article, we look at all suggestions very carefully. Some can be acknowledged, most of them can't. And in those cases I have reverted, only to be reverted back or being confronted with a completely different source claiming something else that doesn't stand up to scrutiny either. In the mean time we're being accused of being liars with an agenda. Now I'm not particularly sensitive about that, but I wanted you to know my pov about this. I have the distinct feeling that these persons or person want these items to be in the article cost what cost for some reason. Having said that I wouldn't be surprised if some branch of this family is titled. If so, that should be easy to show with explicit sources that attest these claims. Gerard von Hebel ( talk) 21:41, 4 July 2015 (UTC)
these contributors. Von Hebel and Facstraight are most probably sock puppeting and have a clear agenda. they do not read sources, do multiple reverts, violating the three revert rule, refuse to build consensus. Do not support thier argument or changes with fact or counter sources. This is not first FactStraigh has been accused of sock puppeting or aggressive behavior when he is proven incorrect. Von Hebel and FactStraight are lying to the Wikipedia community and should be banned. being IP editir is legal in Wikipedia and they assert that any IP edit is somehow less then they are. Wikipedia is built on the sources. The IP editors have out forward, as requested by the talk page, chapeter, verse, and translated. Not only do they not read the sources because thier allegation that sources do not say what the IP editors assert is always proved wrong when they are forced to engage in logical conversation on the talk page. These two never put forward a neutral view or suggest a middle ground for the text of the article. They immediately make multiple or materially relevant changes with no true explanation. "Pruning" is not a valid explanation of a change when complete sections are vandalized, rewritten, and legitimate sources are taken out with no explanation or technicalities which do not constitute deleting sources. 200.33.20.102 ( talk) 17:17, 7 July 2015 (UTC)
For your reference. I have continued my search for more sources about the titles of Esperanza de Saráchaga and her family members, that are contested in the article. I now found authoritative sources (Gotha entries) that make very clear she didn't have any. I published those here [2] on the talkpage of the article. Gerard von Hebel ( talk) 20:52, 18 July 2015 (UTC)
Dear NeilN, You are right about the tag put on my page by someone. As i am new to wikipedia so i didn't know the rule for placing there tag on it's position , so therefore i removed the tag. Although i have submitted my answer on the A2Z Support Talk page and also on the the author page who tagged my page for speedy deletion. A2Z Support , as it shows by name , it's website not for promotional purposes it's rather just like BBC etc. You should have first reviewed at least the references before deletion of page. It's very much unfair if anyone put's tag on one's page and the administrators delete the page. It's a kind request that please restore A2Z Support Page as i have done so much efforts for making this page. I will be thankful to you in this act of kindness

Re: your

Eighteen articles to be exact, and some of my edits they reverted are old. They don't ever seem to be deleting content willy nilly; they always revert specifically, leaving a trail. Some of these edits they're reverting are just small yet indisputable fixes to disambiguation pages and stuff like that.

Well, some editors have mentioned your name in the page and you are not really born in 1735 and I guess that you haven't invented anything or maybe you haven't been an inventor for a hour ago.

I'm just curious about something, after I saw you protected these two articles. Judging by the protection log, Lee Corso was protected indefinitely in 2012 (which, as an aside, shows how long this has been going on) so that only autoconfirmed editors could edit it, but Larrywalker33232 was able to edit it after only one prior edit. Similarly, Woody Paige was autoconfirm-only protected until June 2016, but Quimmypoles3333 was able to edit it with only prior edit. How was that possible? Also, would adding a long semi-protection be a good idea once the current short full protection expires be a good idea? (I'm pretty sure this guy is not going to go away that easily).

You can see his responses to this: User talk:Soham321#July 2015, where he notes that his comments were replaced by another editor. That other editor is Mohanbhan, who has taken his side on that page and I believe others like Adi Shankara.

September 14 171 Paris Peace Treaty. For Louisiana. Why is there no information every piece of literature is based on opinions and educated guess. I worked in the History department of my college and it's so sad to see people destroying Louisiana history. France played a very significant role in the finding and developming Louisiana and new Orleans and one of the first colonial governors has not been credited for his accomplishments his name is Antoine Lamothe Cadillac and he owned thousand of acres in Louisiana and still own it yet no one recognizes that. Because his wife and children were Black back then that's what they did to black people but today 325 years later there is no excuse for that type of injustice to still be prevalent in this world today. It's one thing if Lamothes' family didn't have a clue about his existence then I could see people trying to keep that secreat but his famiy knew then what he owned and what he was for the crown and they know now that the local Government bodies of all these parishes stolen remapped and hidden with hopes that the Family never finds what's rightfully theirs On September,4th 2008.

Hi Neil, I saw that you here declined to semi-protect Galileo affair because of what I presume is this talk page subheading. However, if you look at the entries, you'll see there is no real discussion or dispute - the page has been edited by a series of crazy IPs, and sometimes socks, for a long time, as I tried to explain here. There doesn't appear to be any content issue - half the time the IPs/socks are talking to themselves. It's not an emergency or anything, just a kind of a pain to have to keep reverting the IP edits.

@ RamanujaDasa: SpacemanSpiff is an administrator, which means that he is a highly experienced editor that has earned the trust of the community. As a new editor, you would do well to read carefully whatever comments he has made, and follow the advice. Have you looked through the policy pages listed in the welcome message on your talk page? I am afraid you will not make much headway in editing Wikipedia if you do not read and understand the policies first. The page you are editing does not yet have enough reliable source that can be used to verify information. Your first task in improving the page is to find enough sources. Once you find the sources, you can summarise them in an encyclopedic way. Cheers, Kautilya3 ( talk) 18:03, 11 July 2015 (UTC)

If you are editing from the viewpoint that the subject is a "living legend" then your beliefs are getting in the way of your contributions here and I strongly suggest you stop editing this topic. -- NeilN talk to me 18:53, 11 July 2015 (UTC)
Dear NeilN, thanks for the response. Iam also very disappointed with your response. Is this called Wikipedia's impartiality? What disruptive editing of mine is making you to block me again. As mentioned, I didn't made those edits on the pretext of living legend comment. Living legend is my personal belief and I just learned that in wikipedia it is a bad word to use. But, the edits are just merely based on chinna jeeyar's office website of chinna jeeyar at http://www.chinnajeeyar.g[u]ru. I am sure wikipedia is not an encyclopedia to twists the truth and advertising agency for those who take advantage of its policy of WP:NPOV. I know you guys have power to block me, but I cant help commenting on wrong doings at wikipedia and getting bad name to its reputation.
Deal Neil, Thanks for the response. If that is the case, how about other sentences. How about modifications about chinna jeeyar as an HIndu Seer and also his followers call him his holiness. What sources are we referring here? We are talking about a person who became jeeyar before the internet age and for sure before wikipedia.So what source we need to confirm than a person himself. I understand about other people like me , an article page on wikipedia cannot be allowed based on a self page. If we need to argue based on WP:BLPSELFPUB , then it goes for every article of wikipedia. It is better not to have a page on wikipedia rather than have an insulting page and/or a page with wrong facts. Please guide a way to completely remove a page on chinna jeeyar. It is causing so much discomfort on the true followers of chinna jeeyar. — Preceding unsigned comment added by RamanujaDasa ( talk • contribs) 20:13, 11 July 2015 (UTC)
Dear Neal. it is not the question of notability guideline, because if you google chinna jeeyar you will get all the sufficient secondary sources . We just want to take this page out, that has wrong fact-less information and an attitude continue to protect ill informed administrators and writers rather going on the truth facts. When I made a comment I was blocked with disruptive editing. But when the same was done by others they let go. It is a proof that you and another administrator made changes to this page , undoing the edits done by other administrators, without punishing them as it was done in my case. Sorry, If i am very blunt, but it is very sad to see an open source been abused. Thanks again for responding with patience.
Dear MarnetteD. I read all the information and responding to it accordingly. WOW.. Do not look at it. That is a great solution. This is the most name calling I have never seen using wikipedia's terminology. Sad to see someone accusing a user with assumptions. But the truth prevails.
Dear Neil, I am forced to respond. I am really confused when you are referring to it as unsourced hagiography. Please don't take my writings out of context. Yes, I am a follower. It doesn't mean I don't have any right to speak about the truth. So the word "his followers called him "his holiness" also satisfies WP:NPOV.? Do I need to fight with thousand people to get the world " self-styled" removed. Why it is not done in the first place. and everyone is started calling with wikipedia policy names. It is blatant abuse of volunteering and open source. Any ways I will initiate the process of its deletion. Is there any speedy way? Do you need any official letter?
Wow. Neil. You are talking like President of Wikipedia. Great attitude: THAT WILL NEVER HAPPEN. OBAMA IS fighting for democracy everywhere in the world and we see opposite in wikipedia. I understand that how reliable the information is on wikipedia with great people like you and others. I am done talking to everyone here. I see no point in talking and raising issues any more without a thought or a brain to receive the other side. Thanks for responding. BTW, I never said what you are alleged about replacing the article with an approved one. I am sure you don't believe even if the personality come and talk . Instead you believe in users like user:Wasell — Preceding unsigned comment added by RamanujaDasa ( talk • contribs) 22:02, 11 July 2015 (UTC)

There are million of articles that comes under that category and I am sure this is not the one. This attitude is gonna kill our wikipedia one day.
user:NeilN, user:Abecedare Can one of guys help in stopping the nonsensical edits to this article. Seeing all this, this page is turning to a hate page rather an introduction page.

Hi there - I've been handling the dispute over the Kashmir conflict that was at the dispute resolution noticeboard, and at the talk page. I've spotted some of the involved parties have been given the discretionary sanctions notice and I am asking if you can review the talk page discussion here, I feel I have been neutral and impartial here but explanation of Wikipedia policy and guidance has not been effectual, I believe there might be POV pushing going on here influenced by personal opinions held, but would appreciate a sanity check to ensure I'm not completely crazy here, and to ask if you feel other measures apart from protection could help break the back of this dispute.

Hi I'm 5 days old of using wikipedia and I edited Silverwood Theme Park on the Tremors Rollercoaster section addind how when you go under the gift shop it takes souvenir pictures of every seat and when you get off the coaster you can buy them in the gift shop. I also added that there was a veiwing window in the gift shop to watch people on the coaster go down under the gift shop. And here's why I know its true: my family buys golden season passes every year and a gold season pass pays for one person and lets 2 addional people or friends in for free. If I didn't go to silverwood every year I wouldn't know how many people can get in. And since I go there every year I am pretty familiar with the park. And if my family didn't go there every year I wouldn't have gone on tremors for the first time and pass out for what seemed to my dad 30 seconds including when it went down and under the gift shop to take a picture of every seat and when we were done we went to go look at the pictures of us kids that went on ( 5 to be exact) and she saw the picture of me and I was passed out she wasn't going to the pictures before and was just going to see them but she thought mine was just funny or PRICELESS is what she said exactly she bought mine only. So now every time we go to silverwood I get reminded on how I passed out on tremors just beacause of one stinking souvenir picture. I don't care I am still blocked from editing because it was stupid. and imature of me to goof around and vandalize other pages like change the Taliban flag to the cover of escorted (magazine) on their page and also to delete every word on the page deletion I did do wrong so wrong comes with a consequense or as my dad describes it BUY ONE AND GET THIS FREE. But do please add my editing to silverwood back on it was true. (oh and the administrater that took it off was gogo dodo) and if for some reason you cant add it please tell me why and if i need to do something first. thx colliand000

Hi NeilN. Could you take off the full protection you placed on Tajiks? There is no dispute over content, it was simply a tendentious sock re-adding unreferenced OR. I removed the unreferenced material per WP:V, but he was intent on re-adding it. I already requested a sock puppet investigation as a result of new information at the ANI I raised. In the mean time, the ethnicity gallery, as is, is completely bogus and unreferenced and is in need of removal. Thanks. Elspamo4 ( talk) 08:26, 13 July 2015 (UTC)

I had inserted some material into the page on Eckankar. This was fully sourced material; and the source i used was primarily a published work of David Christopher Lane who has done the most amount of academic work on Eckankar. There is an editor on this page Sarunfeldt who keeps removing my edits, and declares that i am indulging in vandalism. Discussions with him on the talk page of the main article have been futile. What is noteworthy is that Sarunfeldt has a clear conflict of interest as per his claim that he has been a member of Eckankar for forty years and is currently a member of the Eckankar clergy as per this diff: Diff1.

Hi, NeilN, and thank you for protecting Michael Carbonaro for what I see was supposed to be until July 13, 2016.

I have submitted an edit request in the talk page of Kasamh Se having provided some reliable sources to improve upon the Awards Section of the article. Since you protected the article, then being a registered user, it's your very own responsibility to make constructive edits in the article to make it more concise. Is it that you are fond of doing only destructive edits? I have myself watched the award shows in which Kasamh Se was awarded many awards. The Indian soap opera has won about 25 awards which were enlisted in the previous edits but you reverted them claiming the cited sources to be unreliable. If you find the sources to be unreliable, why don't you find yourself reliable sources. If you don't have enough time, then leave the work on other editors who have time. But how could it be? You have simply protected the whole article making worthy editors unable to improve the article. It is quite unbearable that in many articles of Indian soap opera, the awards section do not have even a single reference and even then the award section have not been removed in those articles just like what you did in Kasamh Se. Why don't you concentrate on those articles? One such article is Kahiin to Hoga. Please unprotect the article Kasamh Se so that other editors can also make worthy contributions. If you can't do it, then please do respond to my edit request mentioned on the talk page of Kasamh Se. Vibha Ashan ( talk) 10:08, 15 July 2015 (UTC)

Hi NeilN! Quick question. A bot archived three discussions on the ANI page See here, the one that I was involved in hadn't really resulted in a decision on the (imho) offending editor's behavior. Is that usual? Thanks. Onel5969 TT me 03:08, 16 July 2015 (UTC)
Neil, I just want to make sure that I'm doing this right and not screwing things up. First of all, thanks for the latest round of protections. These vandals aren't going to achieve anything by being so petty, and the site will remain safe, but the temporary protection does help. I suppose that's part of the process.
Second of all, a few more unprotected articles just got hit again, by all new IP addresses:
Madhhab (not protected),
Quranic literalism,
Sirat al-Jahim,
Ben Sediq Abdelaziz, File:Ben Sediq Abdelaziz 1.jpg,
Template:Sindhi Scholars and
The first four Sunni Caliphs and the Sunnah. Either the loser and his/her friends are jumping from computer to computer all to make some kind of a point to me personally (it hasn't been made successfully, all I see is that they have no lives), or they have some means of switching IP addresses rapidly. Either way, they're slowly going around reverting changes I've made, even small ones like putting brackets around the title of a linked Wikipedia article.
My question is: there's no limit on how often I can go to the protection request board, is there? I have no problem doing this indefinitely if it means protecting the encyclopedia and you did say that was the best we can do, but I wanted to check once more that I'm following all the correct protocol.

Hi! I've noticed that you just protected the page Tajiks, which, of course, I agree with. The page is undergoing a massive edit-war (you know that, that is the reason you protected). I have no relation to Tajiks or anything similar, but I came to know about this case as a sockpuppet investigation clerk while reviewing Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Beh-nam. The case is basically this: there are two users: Scytsari (alleged sockpuppet in the said case) and Jeppiz who want to add to the infobox images of various persons for whom thay have no sources to prove they are/were Tajiks. I initiated a calmed-down argumented discussion on the talk page ( Talk:Tajiks#Who should be included in the infobox and why) trying to resolve the case while the page was protected for the first time (by you). Scytsari took no part in the discussion and openly said that he doesn't want to take part [9]. All editors taking part in the discussion agreed that those images should be removed, except Jeppiz, but even he admitted he has no sources to prove those persons were Tajiks. After the page protection expired, Scytsari immediately re-added the images, while I tried to remove them. Now, you protected the page for the second time, but for the second time, you protected it in the "wrong" state (against the clear consensus, with unsourced images added). Now, I don't give a damn about Tajiks, but I just think that it is bad for Wikipedia to have one such article protected in the state that clearly violates WP:Verifiability and WP:consensus.

It was inevitable that the yodelling gentleman would resort to legal threats, and the correct decision to block. The challenge is that he has been trying, albeit rather aggressively, to get his own way without seeming to understand what he has been told. He was certainly not here to build an encyclopaedia, so is not a loss to the community. The entire incident does make me concerned, though, that we are not able to handle those who, perhaps, cannot understand what they are told, lumping them together with those who will not understand. I'm not sure which of those categories this gentleman was in. It has seemed to me to be each of them from time to time. Fiddle Faddle 08:20, 20 July 2015 (UTC)

Please refrain from using my photos on his Wikipedia page. I wrote a very comprehensive bio and added the images I took, of René Bazinet, on Wikimedia. Then due to Wikipedia policies, involving lack of published references, was compelled to remove the entire bio, which now only remains on the IMDb site. I do not want my pictures used without my permission. Thank you for your compliance with my wishes that no one use these photos, on Wikipedia or anywhere else, without my authorized permission to do so. Blythe Spirit ( talk) 08:35, 26 July 2015 (UTC)
I'll ask you once again to please refrain from using my pictures of René Bazinet, without my consent. Common courtesy and consideration should be exercised in such cases and the ownership of a photographer’s work should be respected. I had previously composed and posted a comprehensive profile/bio, of René, only to experience others making inappropriate edits and finally being notified by an administrator that due to a lack of published references it didn’t meet Wikipedia standards, in any event. I had originally added the images, which are copyrighted, to accompany my composition, but was under the misconception that others could only use them with my permission. The policies regarding permission and image utilization were ambiguously stated and I did not interpret them correctly, as it turned out. Neither was I aware that once they were added to Wikimedia I relinquished the opportunity to remove them, from that site. However, after a talk with my lawyer, who assured me that the Wikimedia organization is not entitled to keep them, rather than file a contentious lawsuit in order to protect my work - by demanding their removal - I decided not to press the issue. I’m sure you can understand and appreciate why I wouldn’t want my photographic work to be used by unauthorized people to represent their text, especially, after I deleted all of my contributions, from the René Bazinet page. Thanking you, in advance, for honoring my wishes to cease using the images, I took of René Bazinet. I'm disinclined to give my express approval, of their use, for the above mentioned reasons.

I request you to intervene in Baahubali movie box office collections. Actually the movie is primarily a Telugu movie shot simultaneously in Tamil and it is bilingual. It is also dubbed in Hindi and Malayalam too. The story, entire cast and crew including production house is from Telugu. It grossed around Rs 401 crores in 15 days. But it is included in Tamil list of highest grossing films. The Telugu version alone grossed Rs 236 crores The Hindi and Malayalam versions ( dubbed from Telugu) grossed around 120 crores. The Tamil version grossed around Rs 55 crore from India and rest of the world. The above information is from official trade analysts. So I kindly request you to remove from Tamil list which even didn't gross 15% of collections.

Could we get a Facebook fansite blacklisted? An IP keeps adding one, which there is no indication is official. The same IP tried adding a Peter Capaldi Facebook fansite a while back, and it did get blacklisted. Then they said that there was a malfunction or something, when it was all about it being a blocked fansite. They were also doing something similar at Annastacia Palaszczuk. It seems to be the IP's raison d'etre or something. I put in a request at MediaWiki talk:Spam-blacklist, but perhaps it could be nudged? Thanks and cheers! :) --‖ Ebyabe talk - Repel All Boarders ‖ 00:50, 27 July 2015 (UTC)

I think we are in need of a block hammer. You fully protected Mary Kom (film) a few days back, the issues are still ongoing. Let me give you a few examples, [17] this section started by Krimuk is saying there is a problem with the reviews and that they are mixed giving several sources to show that the reviews are indeed mixed. Here User:Cyphoidbomb edits away the POV and it is deceptively changed back under the edit summary "clean" and reinserted another time again [18]. It's the same concerns raised on the talkpage under Mixed Reviews and Edit Warring and their userpage. It is also one of the more severe cases of WP:OWN I've seen in a while as well. Berating another user for nominating the article as a FA, [19], [20] and continued through to the talkpage of the article and eventually ends with [21] all the while with the edit warring, NPOV and attacks ongoing. On a side note by the block log it doesn't appear this is the first issue thaey've had with the FA process so the problem might extend to that subject area.

You recently blocked Shelbychevette ( talk · contribs) for a 5RR edit war on Chevrolet Corvette (C1) (and others). Fair enough. Yet you don't seem to have taken any similar action against Lukeno94, his adversary in all this, the instigator of these changes, a much more experienced editor who ought to know better, and who seems to be winding up everyone (myself included) at WT:CARS. One of the issues he has kicked off there is precisely this removal of engine information. You even felt the need to warn him to not term other people's edits as vandalism.

The original article was authored by someone in a legal dispute with the company. I now have a financial connection with the article-subject and have proposed a draft on the Talk page here that I think would be more of a legitimate, well-rounded page. The previously involved editors haven't responded yet and I wasn't sure if this kind of thing would interest you. If you feel we should wait longer for previously involved editors that would be fine too. Smartse said on his Talk page that the draft "looks good", but he sort of indicated he wouldn't do anything with it, without checking the sources, which he indicated he is unlikely to spend the time to do. It's always a bit fickle with this kind of thing, because I'm essentially bothering editors about a page they don't really have a genuine interest in. If you have time, to take a look, let me know.

Unable to understand the full scenario/subject, and contributing unknowingly in not keeping wikipedia neutral, unable to understand bunch of users' biased position and giving in or accepting just because some set of editors are big in number. Providing users like Ricky81682 who blatantly edit the same article to their terms, going on to revert the page more than three times on the same day, please log. Spend time on the article and understand what is going on, do not follow people who feed you information only then would you realise, that the ones who feed you information are doing so wrongly, the ones who are confident that they are right would not reach out to administrators unless like now where the article is locked and biased users are given full power to edit the articles as they wish. I seriously doubt your abilities as an administrator.
Have you ever thought why the article needs to be locked ???
My opinion: Majority of people do not like what is on the article and know it is false and are constantly editing it. And the minority few who want to control the article need power hence contact admins to lock it down.

I offer a profuse apology for calling NeilN in competent, In this case my actions were incompetent as I did not know the full scenario of his past records and based my comment on just one of his edits. I was very disturbed and got very emotional in the process ended up using strong terms, I think its the need for attention towards injustice happening towards the article which made me take the drastic step to call someone terms like incompetent, I deeply regret my actions and I am shameful of them.

Is
this edit wrong on the talk page ?
My comment is being hidden and the users say I should not attack other users personally as seen on my talk page. I have read that page and it says that I can put my comments if I back myself with diffs which I did and I never made any personal statements about the user's except the user's edit and backed myself with diffs. None of the sections described
here are being violated by me, in fact I feel the need to express myself on talk page, and my edits should not be hidden, there is evidence in my edits which have diffs of other user which are being ignored.

Hello,
Hope you're doing well. I am currently engaged in a lengthy dispute resolution process over at No Gun Ri Massacre, which has seen a very heated debate between Cjhanley and WeldNeck which has seethed for years.
Part of it revolves around a sourcing dispute, namely, the credibility of the U.S. No Gun Ri Review Report, the initial AP reports (particularly the credibility of certain eyewitnesses), and of historian Robert Bateman. In general, the page has been a battleground, with frequent personal attacks, accusations of POV, bold edits against consensus, and so on, although it has calmed down as of late. It is important to note that Cjhanley is in fact one of the AP reporters who initially broke the No Gun Ri story, and was awarded the Pulitzer Prize; also, WeldNeck has accused him of a conflict of interest. Both editors have compiled extensive lists of their grievances, and have dragged one another to ANI: [24] [25] [26] [27] [28] WeldNeck also attacked Cjhanley as a sockpuppeteer: [29]. Neither editor is blameless, to say the least. I filed a DRN quite some time ago.
For some time, I, along with Timothyjosephwood, Wikimedes, and Irondome have attempted to mediate, and we have successfully imposed an unofficial "freeze" on editing the page without prior proposals. The page has been fairly quiet for a while. Unfortunately, there has recently been some adding and reverting of content, as the "freeze" has begun to thaw out: [30] [31] [32] [33] I would appreciate any help an experienced editor such as yourself could offer. If you are interested, I can also provide some sources to provide background, although some can also be found on the page's external links category.
Thanks very much,

Come on Neil...why did you wipe-out my hard work to correct the fabulously misinformed error comprising what amount still to only a stub requiring time, effort and expansion?
I see that you have great Wiki experience, dedication and power...but you're are no walking encyclopedia. You're text on the Silent Generation is just plain wrong...it's narrow and drawn from only one hardly accepted resource.
I had only just begun to repair the page and build a proper body of information. Really, just because you've more power doesn't mean that you've acted either rightly, in the interest of knowledge or for the benefit of readers. The Wiki is build from the contributions of many people, simply protecting your ignorance like a childish wizard on the watch with his magic wand does not pass for decent editorial work.
Now, really, you own me a civil apology, restoration of my words...and, frankly, assistance to me with some Wiki issue I need to learn in order to properly straighten-out this page.

I will make the statement on my user page. And not be abel to finish it?Why wouldn't I? There isn't a huge wealth of information on him, but I feel like there is enough to constitute a page that is informative for anyone who wished to know more about our organization. I understand that it should be unbiased, and I would remove any statement that expressed personal opinion, just other people's stated opinions such as Obama's quote. What else do you want me to do, make up a negative opinion so I can show two differing perspectives? I was lazy the first time and just copied and pasted everything. I will go through and read the interviews people have taken of him, and use those as sources. Your goal as an administrator for wikipedia is to help spread knowledge, no matter how prominent. Why can't you help me without bringing your criticism into it?
