It seems like quite a few editors on Wikipedia lately want to play "God". They think they have the right to harass and constantly undo changes by other editors because they have a longer history of editing here.
I've thoroughly read the talk page guidelines before and after leaving comments on a talk page. My original intention was to remove my talk page comments on another talk page once the goal was achieved regarding some information on the related user page. I can understand all of the "Gods" out there with their point of not removing my own talk page edits. However, according to the talk page guidelines the basic rule of editing is to not edit or delete the comments of other editors. And regarding my own edits, it is recommended to not remove them but if I do choose to remove them I should state that I removed them and leave a signature.
If Wikipedia editors want exclusive control over talk page comments, then that needs to be stated up front. Wikipedia is doing a disservice by allowing the "God" editors to lock out accounts and prevent individuals from removing their own talk page comments.
A deal is a deal, and I am following the guidelines that were present when I made my talk page comments. There are nothing wrong with my comments, but ultimately I have the right to remove them. "God" needs to go back and "Read the Guidelines". -- ReadTheGuidelines ( talk) 19:41, 10 October 2013 (UTC)
There is currently a discussion at Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents regarding an issue with which you may have been involved. Thank you. Binksternet ( talk) 20:27, 10 October 2013 (UTC)
ReadTheGuidelines, I am concerned that the statement above, which contains "If I need to pursue civil action in order to get this aspect of Wikipedia changed I will do that.", might be perceived as a
legal threat. Wikipedia takes these sorts of things seriously, I urge you to remove that statement as soon as possible.

Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. You appear to be engaged in an edit war with one or more editors according to your reverts at Talk:Dick Dale. Although repeatedly reverting or undoing another editor's contributions may seem necessary to protect your preferred version of a page, on Wikipedia this is usually seen as obstructing the normal editing process, and often creates animosity between editors. Instead of edit warring, please try to reach a consensus on the talk page.
If editors continue to revert to their preferred version they are likely to be blocked from editing. This isn't done to punish an editor, but to prevent the disruption caused by edit warring. In particular, editors should be aware of the three-revert rule, which says that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. While edit warring on Wikipedia is not acceptable in any amount, breaking the three-revert rule is very likely to lead to a block. Thank you. GB fan 02:05, 11 October 2013 (UTC)
User:GB you should contact the editor that has been causing the problem User:Binksternet. Those were my comments that I removed, and under the guidelines he has no right to edit my own comments.
Thats abuse of the guidelines of wikipedia by letting another editor edit my comments. You can block me if you want to, because I will continue to delete my comments.

guide to appealing blocks first.During a dispute, you should first try to discuss controversial changes and seek consensus. If that proves unsuccessful, you are encouraged to seek dispute resolution, and in some cases it may be appropriate to request page protection. GB fan 02:25, 11 October 2013 (UTC)
No, I got the message User:Beyond My Ken, so stop criticizing others and go Read the Guidelines since you don't seem to understand them at all. -- ReadTheGuidelines ( talk) 04:11, 11 October 2013 (UTC)
User:Beyond My Ken you should check out the movie "Troll Hunter", its really good. I'll read you a quote from one of the reviews "It's so steeped in troll and paranoia lore, it risks boring you with the details at times. But it also makes you more inclined to believe it, and the frights are real enough." It is good, really good! Check it out, i think its on Rotten Tomatoes.-- ReadTheGuidelines ( talk) 06:11, 11 October 2013 (UTC)
The talk page guidelines need to be changed. There are so many inaccurate representations of what a talk page is. I've been blocked from editing on Wikipedia because I tried to remove the only three comments that I ever made on Wikipedia. Furthermore, they were on a talk page. This is totally uncalled for and needs to be changed. Look, if you're going to have guidelines, then follow them! This is a disgrace and needs to be looked into further... — Preceding unsigned comment added by ReadTheGuidelines ( talk • contribs) 00:22, 11 October 2013 (UTC)
