Hi, and welcome to Wikipedia! I can see that you've been trying to make good-faith edits to the article about Gerard Butler. I encourage you to read the information in the welcome template located above this message, since that may help you. Again, welcome! • CinchBug • 20:04, 5 February 2010 (UTC)
Please read WP:RS. Fan sites are not reliable sources. Woogee (talk) 05:19, 7 February 2010 (UTC)
- I already tried to explain to you that fan sites are not reliable sources. I have reverted your edits to How to Train Your Dragon (film), and will continue to revert any edits you make which rely on the fan site for sourcing. Woogee (talk) 20:02, 7 February 2010 (UTC)
The information is factual. You are biased. Why do you retain links going through to gerardbutler.net, hello magazine etc? Gerardbutler.net are a fan site to, and hello magazine are notoriously known as a unreliable source.
That comment regarding gerard butler being connected with artists for justice and peace charity is factual. the link shows a video of gerard butler talking about the work he is doing for the charity.
You are clearly biased and do not support the victims of haiti, by continuing to delete awareness that gerard butler is doing charitable work for haiti. You keep retaining links to the other charity - which shows you are the one that is biased.
You cannot argue that the video is evidence in itself to prove that he is involved in supporting earth quake victims.
- Fan sites are not considered reliable sources and may not be used to source an article. Please stop or you may be blocked from editing. Yworo (talk) 02:55, 8 February 2010 (UTC)
Please stop your disruptive editing. If you continue to vandalize Wikipedia, as you did at How to Train Your Dragon (film), you will be blocked from editing. Woogee (talk) 07:51, 8 February 2010 (UTC)
I am not vandalising wiki. the links are factual because it features video content featuring Gerard Butler talking about the subject matter and verifying the information as truth.
EXPLAIN TO ME why you are keeping HELLO MAGAZINE's biography link on the page? They are notoriously known as a biased source.
Also EXPLAIN TO ME why you are deleting acknowledgement that Gerard Butler is representing Artists for Peace and Justice? The link shows a video of gerard butler stating that he is supporting this charity.
IT is clear you are biased.

[edit]Clearly you are not getting it. Please read WP:RS. If you have a problem with another source, bring it up on the article talk page for all editors to discuss, I personally have no opinion. But fans pages are completely out as sources, that is not in question. Please stop edit warring. Here's your official warning. Yworo (talk) 18:53, 8 February 2010 (UTC)
Please refrain from undoing other people's edits repeatedly, as you are doing at Gerard Butler. If you continue, you may be blocked from editing Wikipedia. Note that the three-revert rule prohibits making more than three reversions in a content dispute within a 24 hour period. Additionally, users who perform a large number of reversions in content disputes may be blocked for edit warring, even if they do not technically violate the three-revert rule. Rather than reverting, discuss disputed changes on the talk page. The revision you want is not going to be implemented by edit warring. Thank you. Yworo (talk) 18:53, 8 February 2010 (UTC)
Thank you for making a report on Wikipedia:Administrator intervention against vandalism. Reporting and removing vandalism is vital to the functioning of Wikipedia and all users are encouraged to revert, warn, and report vandalism. However, it appears that the editor you reported may not have engaged in vandalism, or the user was not sufficiently or appropriately warned. Please note there is a difference between vandalism and unhelpful or misguided edits made in good faith. If the user continues to vandalise after a recent final warning, please re-report it. Thank you! —DoRD (?) (talk) 17:20, 9 February 2010 (UTC)
You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war according to the reverts you have made on Gerard Butler. 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. Please stop the disruption, otherwise you may be blocked from editing. NeilN talk to me 17:39, 9 February 2010 (UTC)
Please read WP:AGF and WP:CIVIL. Your accusations that I work for some magazine are laughable. If I am, where are my paychecks? You have repeatedly had explained to you that your sources are not reliable, as per WP:RS. Your vandalism claims are likewise ridiculous, and have been properly removed from WP:AIV. If you feel that your sources are valid, then go to WP:RSN to get support for your claims. Otherwise, if you revert to the fan site as a source again, I will report you as a vandal for violating the WP:3RR rule. Woogee (talk) 19:54, 9 February 2010 (UTC)
Comment
[edit]Please take your time and try to understand that editors who are more experienced are only editing according to their understanding of wikipedia policies and guidelines. They will usually explain things to you when you ask, things happen round here using policy and discussion, please take your time and ask for assistance when you don't understand why things are happening, repeatedly inserting something into an article when it is being removed by experienced editors is a good point to move to discuss things on the talkpage. Please take care as you are collecting a fair few warnings. Thanks. Off2riorob (talk) 20:37, 9 February 2010 (UTC)
- I'd like to second Off2riorob's suggestions. When you first started editing at Wikipedia several days ago, I posted the Welcome template at the top of this talk page and it has many links to useful and important information about Wikipedia. Please take a little bit of time and look through the information there, so that you can understand how to make good contributions that won't need to be reverted. If you need help with something, then you can type {{helpme}} anywhere on this talk page and someone will arrive shortly to assist you. Regards, • CinchBug • 20:54, 9 February 2010 (UTC)
