[edit]Your recent editing history at May 2017 Kabul attack shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war. To resolve the content dispute, please do not revert or change the edits of others when you are reverted. Instead of reverting, please use the talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. The best practice at this stage is to discuss, not edit-war. See BRD for how this is done. If discussions reach an impasse, you can then post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection.
Being involved in an edit war can result in your being blocked from editing—especially if you violate the three-revert rule, which states that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Undoing another editor's work—whether in whole or in part, whether involving the same or different material each time—counts as a revert. Also keep in mind that while violating the three-revert rule often leads to a block, you can still be blocked for edit warring—even if you don't violate the three-revert rule—should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly.

- Don't remove important information from the article, you may find it unimportant but that information is important to others.--Tummywink (talk) 16:53, 2 June 2017 (UTC)
- Please review WP:NOTVAND and adjust your future edit summaries accordingly. --NeilN talk to me 17:02, 2 June 2017 (UTC)
- An edit-warrior [1] completely removed the following well-sourced content, if that's not vandalism then what is?--Tummywink (talk) 17:11, 2 June 2017 (UTC)

"On 30 May 2017, Haji Mohammad Farid, former secretary and close relative of warlord Gulbuddin Hekmatyar, was assassinated in Peshawar, Pakistan, by unknown gunmen.[1][2] The Taliban denied involvement in the assassination.[3] Hekmatyar and his followers are said to be supported by Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps,[4] all of whom are against the presence of foreigners in Afghanistan.[5] Some analysts believe that Hekmatyar's return to Kabul is a sign of the start of another civil war in Afghanistan.[6]
- Some may find the above well-sourced information unimportant but to others it may be very important. Most readers don't know about what is currently happening in Afghanistan. Wikipedia should not promote censorship.--Tummywink (talk) 17:11, 2 June 2017 (UTC)
- Vandalism is "[r]emoving encyclopedic content without any reason, or replacing such content with nonsense. Content removal is not considered to be vandalism when the reason for the removal of the content is readily apparent by examination of the content itself, or where a non-frivolous explanation for the removal of apparently legitimate content is provided, linked to, or referenced in an edit summary." You may not agree with the reason, but that makes it a content dispute, not vandalism. --NeilN talk to me 17:17, 2 June 2017 (UTC)
- The refs used are either months old, or relate to an incident that occurred prior but do not make any reference to the Kabul bombing. If you can show a reliable source discussing the connection between the Kabul incident and the Hekmatyar incident, it can go in. Until then, this is textbook WP:OR and WP:SYNTHESIS.

- I made my comment at Talk:May 2017 Kabul attack. The information I added is related to the "Background" of this latest bomb blast. Hekmatyar is a powerful warlord, he is capable of doing this. Who are you to say he is not involved?--Tummywink (talk) 17:33, 2 June 2017 (UTC)
