Creation myth

Please discuss your proposed changes on Creation myth on the talk page rather than unilaterally redefining the subject. I have reverted a couple of your changes to the lead section. The wording of the article lead was reached by collaboration among editors with diverse backgrounds, please respect that. Vsmith (talk) 01:32, 16 February 2008 (UTC)

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war according to the reverts you have made on Creation myth. 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. If you continue, you may be blocked from editing. Please do not repeatedly revert edits, but use the talk page to work towards wording and content that gains a consensus among editors. If necessary, pursue dispute resolution. Thanks, Ben (talk) 19:55, 16 February 2008 (UTC)

You have been blocked from editing for a period of 12 hours in accordance with Wikipedia's blocking policy for violating the three-revert rule . Please be more careful to discuss controversial changes or seek dispute resolution rather than engaging in an edit war. If you believe this block is unjustified, you may contest the block by adding the text {{unblock|your reason here}} below. CIreland (talk) 20:56, 16 February 2008 (UTC)

I've wasted several hours unsuccessfully trying to find instructions on exactly how to respond to comments like yours, and still not violate the 5 wikicommandments. I don't even know if this will work. If it doesn't, I will just send a message by editing the subject page. I don't care to spend any more time learning anything about the ins and outs of wikipedia. I simply want to use it from tome to time as an information resource, and to be able to correct misinformation when I come across it, during my searches. That is exactly what I did on February 16, 2008, when I came upon the article "creation myth". The edits I made are true and factually correct. The article, as it now reads, contains factual errors and obvious bias. My edits may be improved upon with grammatical changes, but the content of my edits is true and accurate, and should be left in the article.Saythetruth (talk) 00:28, 16 March 2008 (UTC)

Please stop. If you continue to vandalize Wikipedia, as you did to Creation myth, you will be blocked from editing. — the Sidhekin (talk) 19:57, 24 March 2008 (UTC)

This is your last warning. You will be blocked from editing the next time you vandalize a page, as you did with this edit to Creation myth. ÐeadΣyeДrrow (Talk - Contribs) 20:18, 24 March 2008 (UTC)

You have been blocked from editing for a period of 1 week for Vandalism. If you wish to make useful contributions, you may do so when the block expires. · AndonicO ^Hail! 20:33, 24 March 2008 (UTC)
