Welcome to Wikipedia, and thank you for your contributions, including your edits to Bill Ayers. However, please be aware of Wikipedia's policy that biographical information about living persons must not be libelous. Any controversial statements about a living person added to an article, or any other Wikipedia page, must include proper sources. If you don't know how to cite a source, you may want to read Wikipedia:Referencing for beginners for instructions. Thank you. Active Banana ( ^bananaphone 14:23, 1 September 2010 (UTC)

Please stop adding unreferenced controversial biographical content to articles or any other Wikipedia page, as you did at Bill Ayers. Content of this nature could be regarded as defamatory and is in violation of Wikipedia policy. If you continue, you may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.

Welcome to Wikipedia. Everyone is welcome to contribute to the encyclopedia, but when you add or change content, as you did to the article Propaganda, please cite a reliable source for the content of your edit. This helps maintain our policy of verifiability. Take a look at Wikipedia:Citing sources for information about how to cite sources and the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. Thank you.

This is the final warning you will receive regarding your disruptive edits. If you vandalize Wikipedia again, as you did at Propaganda, you may be blocked from editing without further notice. Final warning for the introduction of non-neutral material and original research and edit-warring. Drmies (talk) 03:00, 15 September 2010 (UTC)

Warning

Please do not make personal attacks as you did at Propaganda. Wikipedia has a strict policy against personal attacks. Attack pages and images are not tolerated by Wikipedia and are speedily deleted. Users who continue to create or repost such pages and images, especially those in violation of our biographies of living persons policy, will be blocked from editing Wikipedia. Thank you.

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war according to the reverts you have made on Propaganda. Note that the three-revert rule prohibits making more than three reversions on a single page within a 24-hour period. Additionally, users who perform several reversions in content disputes may be blocked for edit warring even if they do not technically violate the three-revert rule. When in dispute with another editor you should first try to discuss controversial changes to work towards wording and content that gains a consensus among editors. Should that prove unsuccessful, you are encouraged to seek dispute resolution, and in some cases it may be appropriate to request page protection. If the edit warring continues, you may be blocked from editing without further notice. --- Barek (talk • contribs) - 03:05, 15 September 2010 (UTC)

You have been blocked from editing for a period of 3 days for attempting to harass other users. Once the block has expired, you are welcome to make useful contributions. If you would like to be unblocked, you may appeal this block by adding below this notice the text {{unblock|Your reason here}}, but you should read the guide to appealing blocks first. - Barek (talk • contribs) - 03:08, 15 September 2010 (UTC)

Request reason:

Oh please. So because I tried to fix an article that violated WP:RS, WP:MOS, WP:SYNTH, and WP:NPOV, I am being attacked. I request an unblock.

Decline reason:

The block was for personal attacks and harassment, done via edit summaries. You have continued this conduct even after your block, in your edits on your talk page.[1][2] As long as you continue to harass users via edit summaries that are not civil, you will not be unblocked. —C.Fred (talk) 03:20, 15 September 2010 (UTC)

If you want to make any further unblock requests, please read the guide to appealing blocks first, then use the {{unblock}} template again. If you make too many unconvincing or disruptive unblock requests, you may be prevented from editing this page until your block has expired. Do not remove this unblock review while you are blocked.

ADDITIONAL: please see the Propaganda article. The sentence "Another example of America’s attempt with Black Propaganda is that the U.S. paid Iraqis to publish articles written by American troops in their newspapers under the idea that they are unbiased and real accounts; this was brought forth by the New York Times in 2005.[39]" is clearly UNSUPPORTED BY THE ARTICLE THEY LINK TO. I have run a search on the article linked with both NYT and New York Times and there is no mention anywhere related in that article regarding "black propaganda" or the payment of Iraqis to publish ghost-written articles!!!!!!!!!!!

ADDITIONAL: I have read WP:3RR as per [3] which he did not even post until after being abusive. NOWHERE DOES THIS JUSTIFY HIS THREE-DAY ABUSIVE BLOCK.

Since you persisted in this abusive conduct, I have revoked your ability to edit your talk page for the duration of your block. —C.Fred (talk) 03:25, 15 September 2010 (UTC)
