July 2010[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 Canadian Security Intelligence Service 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. The book cited contains unverified information provided by a former employee of the agency with a grudge. This is not a reliable source and the addition of large amounts of such material, aside from being redundant, violates WP:NPOV. Taroaldo (talk) 06:46, 24 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

A book written by a Globe and Mail journalist, and published by Random House absolutely meets the definitions of a "reliable source". To claim it is "unverified information" is to suggest that we can say "Bob Hope was born in 1903" is unverifiable information that came from a book somewhere. You have removed many references from the article, not just Mitrovica, and butchered hours of work to improve it. If you have any evidence a claim is untrue, or disputed, add it to the article - but otherwise I'm going to go with the guy from the second-largest newspaper, and note that Google Books mentions 354 books that reference Mitrovica's research of CSIS...and note that not one of them appears to suggest he is unreliable.

You've been mentioned at WP:EAR[edit]

See WP:EAR#Any Canadians about? undue-weight CSIS edits. You may respond there if you wish. EdJohnston (talk) 19:41, 24 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war according to the reverts you have made on Canadian Security Intelligence Service. 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 several reversions in content disputes may be blocked for edit warring even if they do not technically violate the three-revert rule. When in dispute with another editor you should first try to discuss controversial changes to work towards wording and content that gains a consensus among editors. Should that prove unsuccessful, you are encouraged to seek dispute resolution, and in some cases it may be appropriate to request page protection. If the edit warring continues, you may be blocked from editing without further notice. Repeatedly adding a large quantity of material which violates WP:UNDUE and WP:ATP, and which does not follow WP:NPOV Taroaldo (talk) 00:21, 25 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Could you stop editorialising and threatening other editors? It'd go a long way towards cooperation if you stopped acting like a dick. GarolStipock (talk) 00:22, 25 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
I think you should focus more attention on your own conduct. You should also reconsider your behavior in insulting other editors. Just a thought. Taroaldo (talk) 00:28, 25 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
