LGBT rights in the Dominican Republic

The following is a copy of a thread at WP:Editor assistance/Requests:

I have edited two times the page LGBT rights in the Dominican Republic. the first time I placed a wrong SD tag and it was reverted by user Dpmuk (talk | contribs) who I thought was an administrador, because all his contrubutions are patrolling and removing tags.

Because the article did not meet the criteria for SD, I edited the wrong information. Dmuk, reverted my edit, and placed a source and link which does not support his revertion.

My question is. Can I edit again that page, and if I do can I be blocked based on 3RR? --Juliaaltagracia (talk) 01:38, 26 March 2009 (UTC) [reply]

You only appear to have edited the page twice, without reverting it, so 3RR is not a problem, but as your edits appear to be controversial it is probably better to discuss with the user or on the article's talk page - 3RR doesn't mean three reverts are always permitted, and on this occasion as the other user is citing sources to support his/her argument, reverting to your version, when the article previously appeared to be stable, would be disruptive. —Snigbrook 02:02, 26 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for your reply. I have been searching for this page but keep getting only my question, I put it in my watchlist, but still did not work.

Copy this link [[Wikipedia:Editor assistance/Requests#LGBT rights in the Dominican Republic|Link to editor assistance thread on Dominican Republic]] to your user page and it will bring you straight here. SpinningSpark 17:55, 28 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

going back to the subject: The page or source given by user does not really supports his argument alsotThe whole wording in the article is wrong as it says that it is legal admited in the D. R.. --Juliaaltagracia (talk) 17:15, 27 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

The source in the article is a UNHCR document which clearly states that homosexual acts are legal in the Dominican Republic but that discrimination is not legally prevented. This is also what the article says. If this is not correct you will need to find other sources to reference, but I would have thought that the UNHCR would be reliable on this. The edit summary of your edit leads me to believe you are confusing sexual relations with the right to same-sex marriage. These are two different things (at least legally) but there is not reason that they cannot both be covered in the article. SpinningSpark 18:17, 28 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I read the article and it’s like a Headline news to catch your attention, but in reality there is no law in our constitution or in our legal code which admits that two person of the same sex have rights to marry, to adopt, to be admited as couple in any club, to inherit, to be in the insurance of his parter, if they had that then it would be ok to write that it´s legal by law. Homosexuals have no special laws in our late or recent constitution which says that any human beings has the rights not to be discrimitated for their race, age or sex please read our constitution Georgetown University --Juliaaltagracia (talk) 23:28, 28 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

What it is saying is that there are no legal injunctions against being homosexual or engaging in same-sex sexual acts. That is not the same thing as saying that same-sex marriage is allowed or that adoption by same-sex couples is allowed, etc. No one is claiming that. You are reading more into the article than is there. Aleta ^Sing 03:54, 29 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
