Encyclopedia
[edit]User:Tiyuiyutn / User:Torlak / User:JohnAnderson, if you're interested in adding Wikipedia's status as an encyclopedia as a criticism, please do. (And, again, please include a verifiable citiation.) However, your POV is not NPOV. Wikipedia identifies itself as an encyclopedia, as do other people, and "the free encyclopedia" is its slogan. To excise that fact from the article's intro is not NPOV and detracts from the article's comprehensiveness. In other words, it is not helpful.
At this point, I can't restore the intro for another 24 hours without violating WP:3RR. Please do not to change it. (Copied from Talk:Wikipedia) bcasterline t 22:54, 25 March 2006 (UTC)
Torlak, please do not continue blindly reverting the edits of other users, especially those backed by consensus. If you disagree with the content of an edit you need to engage in discussion on the article's talk page. Thank you. Canderson7 (talk) 00:24, 30 March 2006 (UTC)
- Please refrain from undoing other people's edits repeatedly. If you continue, you may be blocked from editing Wikipedia under the three-revert rule, which states that nobody may revert an article to a previous version more than three times in 24 hours. (Note: this also means editing the page to reinsert an old edit. If the effect of your actions is to revert back, it qualifies as a revert.) Thank you. Jkelly 00:38, 30 March 2006 (UTC)
