Need some help with another editor

One editor in the Semitic and Magi articles (CreativeSoul7981) has been removing well-sourced portions of them because they conflict with his identity as an Iranian-American (that shouldn't matter, but he keeps bringing his Zoroastrian ancestors and how Zoroastrianism relates to Christianity). He has not provided any sources countering the sources he keeps removing. I've already alerted the Conflict of Interest folks, but they are a bit busy. Could you please help by keeping an eye on the Magi and Semitic articles and reverting him when he removes stuff? I've already reverted him three times on those issues, and that's as far as one is allowed to go without getting in trouble (if he reverts your reversion, though, then he will be breaking the 3 revert rule). Thanks for helping, or if you choose not to, thanks for your help on the rest of Wikipedia. Ian.thomson (talk) 21:15, 12 December 2009 (UTC)

Gospel of Thomas

You're edit-warring; you need to discuss on the talk page instead.   pablo_hablo. 15:47, 27 January 2010 (UTC)

Yeah, I wanted to make a note about your edit warring. Please see WP:BRD. The way to keep the peace, and to be a good editor, is to NOT EDIT WAR. It is totally fine to go around and make bold edits. However, if an editor reverts your bold edit, it is NEVER appropriate for you to reinstate your edit and try to force your way. I find this even more problematic because two editors disagree with your repeated reverts, and no one has supported it (so defacto consensus/majority is currently against you). I would strongly urge you to restore the long standing version (i.e. revert yourself), and continue working on the talk page. This would be a clear sign of good faith on your part, and an acknowledgment that edit warring is counter productive. Keep in mind, if you continue to revert, you will be blocked, per WP:3RR. Thanks for your consideration. -Andrew c ^[talk] 22:01, 27 January 2010 (UTC)

I will not revert. If I am blocked, I will protest and see what comes or it. Eugnostos (talk) 22:23, 27 January 2010 (UTC)

You have been blocked for a period of twenty-four hours for edit-warring and violation of the three-revert rule on Gospel of Thomas. To contest this block, please reply here on your talk page by adding the text {{unblock|Your reason here}} along with the reason you believe the block is unjustified, or email the blocking administrator. For alternative methods to appeal, see Wikipedia:Appealing a block. -- tariqabjotu 23:40, 27 January 2010 (UTC)

I saw your statement above, but you clearly reverted five minutes after that statement. -- tariqabjotu 23:40, 27 January 2010 (UTC)
