Your personal opinions on subjects of articles are irrelevant, and I have reverted your edit. Please take a look at policy on biographies. Also, in relation to Hezbollah-related articles, please take a look at our neutraility policy. Thanks. Rodhullandemu 14:09, 16 April 2009 (UTC)
Hassan Nasrallah edits
[edit]Hell Scarletpoet! While you welcome to edit Wikipedia, your recent edits at Hassan Nasrallah are in violation of WP:NPOV and WP:AVOID among other guidelines. Wikipedia is not allowed to judge whether or not someone or some group is a terrorist or terrorist organization. We can state that certain governments consider Nasrallah and Hezbollah to be terrorists and that's pretty much as far as we can go. Also, continuous reverts could result in an edit war and I would be forced to block you for certain amount of time. I take it that you are new here, so this time I'll give you a warning. Cheers and happy editing! --Al Ameer son (talk) 19:41, 18 April 2009 (UTC)
- You have been blocked for a 31 hour period because of consistent disruption to the Hassan Nasrallah page despite several warning at the article and here on your talk page. You could appeal to be unblocked if you like. --Al Ameer son (talk) 20:27, 18 April 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Please do not add commentary or your own personal analysis to Wikipedia articles, as you did to Hassan Nasrallah. Doing so violates Wikipedia's neutral point of view policy and breaches the formal tone expected in an encyclopedia. Thank you. The State Department are only one source. per this policy, we avoid terms such as "terrorist" as they are not neutral. Thanks. Rodhullandemu 19:50, 18 April 2009 (UTC)
- Kindly read this section carefully before adding the term "terrorist" to any other article. It is a topic to be treated with care, and we don't regard journalists as necessarily applying the term correctly. Thanks Rodhullandemu 20:26, 18 April 2009 (UTC)
Changing nationality
[edit]Hi, I notice quite a few of your edits are changing nationalities on biographies. However, I'm reverting them because if somebody was born in the UK, then they are a British citizen. Bob talk 08:50, 17 April 2011 (UTC)
Gene Simmons: Israeli American
[edit]No one is denying that he is an Israeli-American. He certainly is. However, MOS:BIO says that we don't include ethnicity in leads, and "Israeli-American" is an ethnicity. His Israeli birth and family ties are covered later in the article.—Kww(talk) 21:32, 17 April 2011 (UTC)

[edit]Although I see it is being explained to you above - Talk:Gene_Simmons#Israeli-American - Please join in the discussion, thanks. Off2riorob (talk) 21:32, 17 April 2011 (UTC)
Jay Sean
[edit]You really need to read MOS:BIO and stop adding ethnicities into leads. Jay Sean, in particular, is a trouble case, because of rampant edit-warring over whether he is Pakistani or Indian. If you repeat this edit, you will be blocked immediately. Read the talk page for the article if you want to see how long that battle has been going on.
As for the rest of your edits today, don't edit-war ethnicities into articles. Edit-warring, in and of itself, will get you blocked. —Kww(talk) 22:00, 17 April 2011 (UTC)
Please stop editing, and start talking
[edit]I get the impression that you aren't even reading what anyone is saying. No one is saying that these people aren't British-Indian, or Israeli-American, or whatever. What is being said is that our Manual of Style says not to include that information in the article lead.
You can include ethnicity in the article. That's fine. No problem. Just not in the article lead. That's a pretty simple concept, and I wish you would show some sign of listening when it's explained to you.—Kww(talk) 23:02, 17 April 2011 (UTC)
revert crazy
[edit]![](http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/f/f1/Stop_hand_nuvola.svg/30px-Stop_hand_nuvola.svg.png)
You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war according to the reverts you have made on Dev Patel. Users are expected to collaborate with others and avoid editing disruptively.
In particular, the three-revert rule states that:
- Making more than three reversions on a single page within a 24-hour period is almost always grounds for an immediate block.
- 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 to edit war, you may be blocked from editing without further notice. - and at other articles. Such as Nir Rosen - Off2riorob (talk) 23:08, 17 April 2011 (UTC)
