WP:WEIGHT

Thank you for your contributions and your effort to improve Wikipedia. Your changes are a valid position, but to place it in the lead, or beginning, of the article is to give undue weight to that position. If you have any questions, please feel free to discuss this on the article's talk page. Thank you. - SudoGhost ™ 03:31, 18 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

July 2011

Welcome to Wikipedia. Everyone is welcome to make constructive contributions to Wikipedia, but at least one of your recent edits, such as the one you made to Creation myth, did not appear to be constructive and has been automatically reverted (undone) by ClueBot NG.

Please use the sandbox for any test edits you would like to make, and take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. Note that human editors do monitor recent changes to Wikipedia articles, and administrators have the ability to block users from editing if they repeatedly engage in vandalism.
ClueBot NG produces very few false positives, but it does happen. If you believe the change you made should not have been detected as unconstructive, please read about it, report it here, remove this warning from your talk page, and then make the edit again.
The following is the log entry regarding this warning: Creation myth was changed by Musicalcrossbow (u) (t) ANN scored at 0.9573 on 2011-07-18T03:33:31+00:00 . Thank you. ClueBot NG (talk) 03:33, 18 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

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. Please remember to observe this important core policy. Thank you. RE: age of the earth and creationism N^oformation ^Talk 03:41, 18 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Edit Warring at Age of the Earth

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war according to the reverts you have made on Age of the Earth. Users are expected to collaborate with others, to avoid editing disruptively, and to try to reach a consensus rather than repeatedly undoing other users' edits once it is known that there is a disagreement.

In particular, Wikipedia's policy on edit warring states:

Edit warring is disruptive regardless of how many reverts you have made; that is to say, editors are not automatically "entitled" to three reverts.
Do not edit war even if you believe you are right.

If you find yourself in an editing dispute, use the article's talk page to discuss controversial changes; work towards a version that represents consensus among editors. You can post a request for help at an appropriate noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases it may be appropriate to request temporary page protection. If you continue edit warring, you may be blocked from editing. - SudoGhost ™ 03:57, 18 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Please use the talk page

Hello, this is an invitation to use the article's talk page to discuss your edits, as multiple editors have reverted the information, including myself, over concerns that it does not meet WP:NPOV and WP:WEIGHT, specifically. I ask that you please use the talk page in lieu of reintroducing the material right now, as reverting to the same material more than three times usually leads to a block. Thank you. - SudoGhost ™ 04:02, 18 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

You have been blocked from editing for a period of 24 hours for your disruption caused by edit warring by violation of the three-revert rule. 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. If you would like to be unblocked, you may appeal this block by adding the text {{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}} below this notice, but you should read the guide to appealing blocks first. —GFOLEY FOUR!— 04:02, 18 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Unblocked, since I see you haven't reverted since the warning that SudoGhost placed. Please use the talk page to discuss the change. Also note that another revert will probably have you blocked again. —GFOLEY FOUR!— 04:11, 18 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Notification of WP:AN/EW report

Hello Musicalcrossbow,

This is an automated friendly notification to inform you that you have been reported for Violation of the Edit warring policy at the Administrators' noticeboard.
If you feel that this report has been made in error, please reply as soon as possible on the noticeboard. However, before contesting an Edit warring report, please review the respective policies to ensure you are not in violation of them. ~ NekoBot (MeowTalk) 18:55, 18 July 2011 (UTC) (False positive? Report it!)[reply]

Thanks for informing me, but I believe it has been reported according to invalid reasons. I have been merely attempting to insert a more neutral view into the article "The Age of the Earth" and I do not believe I have violated any of the Wikipedia editing policies.

July 2011 redux

Please stop your disruptive editing. If you continue to vandalize pages by deliberately introducing incorrect information, as you did at Age of the Earth, you may be blocked from editing. Adding factually incorrect information into an article, such as the claim that the 4.54 billion year age of the Earth is a 'belief' or that Radiometric dating is a mere 'proposition', is considered vandalism. Hrafn^Talk_Stalk^(P) 19:25, 18 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Please give me factual evidence that the claim that the 4.54 billion year age of the earth is not a belief. Please show me what evidence you obtain that would make my posts incorrect. Thank you. Musicalcrossbow (talk) 19:28, 18 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

This user's unblock request has been reviewed by an administrator, who declined the request. Other administrators may also review this block, but should not override the decision without good reason (see the blocking policy).

Musicalcrossbow (block log • active blocks • global blocks • contribs • deleted contribs • filter log • creation log • change block settings • unblock • checkuser (log))

Request reason:

I was trying to post correct information. Musicalcrossbow (talk) 20:31, 18 July 2011 (UTC)

Decline reason:

The point is to discuss controversial changes on the talk page, not just keep trying to edit them in in various shapes and forms. As you are not convincing me that you understand the requirement to use the talk page to gain consensus, I am declining this unblock request. Taelus (talk) 23:07, 18 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

If you want to make any further unblock requests, please read the guide to appealing blocks first, then use the {{unblock}} template again. If you make too many unconvincing or disruptive unblock requests, you may be prevented from editing this page until your block has expired. Do not remove this unblock review while you are blocked.
