Please stop adding unreferenced or poorly referenced biographical content, especially if controversial, to articles or any other Wikipedia page, as you did at Akon. Content of this nature could be regarded as defamatory and is in violation of Wikipedia policy. If you continue, you may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.

Hello, I'm GimliDotNet. Wikipedia is written by people who have a wide diversity of opinions, but we try hard to make sure articles have a neutral point of view. Your recent edit seemed less than neutral to me, so I removed it for now. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Please stop attempting to push your pro UKIP stance into articles, this is a serious paper, not a site to push one view over another.

Your recent editing history shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war. Being involved in an edit war can result in your being blocked from editing—especially if you violate the three-revert rule, which states that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Undoing another editor's work—whether in whole or in part, whether involving the same or different material each time—counts as a revert. Also keep in mind that while violating the three-revert rule often leads to a block, you can still be blocked for edit warring—even if you don't violate the three-revert rule—should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly.
To avoid being blocked, instead of reverting please consider using the article's talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. See BRD for how this is done. You can post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection.

Blocked for edit warring
[edit]
{{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}}. However, you should read the guide to appealing blocks first.During a dispute, you should first try to discuss controversial changes and seek consensus. If that proves unsuccessful, you are encouraged to seek dispute resolution, and in some cases it may be appropriate to request page protection.

[edit]I see you are currently experiencing problems with the User GimliDotNet regards UKIP as well. He has just recently (16/06/2014) undone a cited and referenced edit on the UKIP page that I had done in which I increased UKIP's membership figure from 28,000 to 29,000+ as has been confirmed by UKIP on their official website. I believe this user is intentionally trying to damage UKIP's profile on Wikipedia. He has previously been caught trying to categorise UKIP as being a "Far Right" party and has undone/edited the Party page in other ways to reflect negatively and inaccurately. I notice nobody seems to be doing anything about it or adding the kind of blocks that you have had imposed on your profile. Predictable that is.
