The edits you are making to Ben Harris-Quinney are not supported by any citation provided. Continuing to re-add claims that are not supported by any citation is vandalism and you are close to breaking the 3 revert rule, which is edit warring and could lead to you being blocked. If you can find verifiable, reliable sources for the claims, please add them. As it is, the material that is being removed is not supported by citations. Those that are given are unrelated to what is written in the article. Thanks, Tiller54 ( talk) 22:24, 22 October 2012 (UTC)
Your recent editing history at Ben Harris-Quinney shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war. 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.
To avoid being blocked, instead of reverting please consider using the article's talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. See BRD for how this is done. You can post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection. Tiller54 ( talk) 00:30, 23 October 2012 (UTC)
As I and User:EardleyC have pointed out when we have removed the content, it is because it is not supported by the references provided. For example, the citation provided for "a column" in the Spanish newspaper links not to a column but to a single article, hence the edit. Also, the claim that Harris-Quinney "courted controversy in May 2012 when he challenged the decision of the UK Government to ban a debate on gay marriage from taking place at the QE2 Exhibition centre" is completely unsupported by the citation provided which only mentions Harris-Quinney in passing, to say that "Ben Harris-Quinney of the Bow Group... Cameron would have squirmed at Harris-Quinney's reminder that... he had voted to retain Section 28". There is nothing in the citation about either Harris-Quinney "courting controversy" himself or his "challenging" the government over the "banning of a debate". Finally, listing MPs and MEPs who may have contributed to an "alternative manifesto" published by a think tank is completely irrelevant. The Spectator citation simply says "Bernard Jenkin has an article in Crossbow magazine". This has nothing to do with Harris-Quinney and doesn't establish his notability. Working with people who are notable and then having them all listed here does not make Harris-Quinney himself notable.
Removing claims, such as the ones listed above, that are unsupported by the citations provided is not vandalism. Continuing to re-add them is. Thanks, Tiller54 ( talk) 16:22, 23 October 2012 (UTC)
