You currently appear to be engaged in an
edit war according to the reverts you have made on
White South African. 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. Please stop the disruption, otherwise you may be
blocked from editing.

Hello, I'm
Jim1138. I noticed that you made a comment on the page
User talk:Ground Zero that didn't seem very
civil, so I removed it. Wikipedia needs people like you and me to collaborate, so it’s one of our core principles to interact with one another in a polite and respectful manner. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on
my talk page. Thanks,

Hi Jim! Most of us have better things to do than censor and baby-sit.

Ronald, I apologize for getting your name wrong. Every community has rules for its members to help everyone get along. Wikipedia is no different. Wikipedia is a community of hundreds of thousands of people, so there is a lot of potential for disputes. The Wikipedia community has developed policies to deal with disputes, and expects people to follow them. Users are not expected to understand all of them when they begin editing, but you will see people referring to them when they discuss changes. Without these policies to help resolve disputes, Wikipedia disputes would just be a matter of one person's preferences against another's, and there would be no way of deciding which approach will be used.
One of the key policies to which Wikipedia adheres is no original research. You can learn more about the reason that this policy was adopted by clicking on that link. If something is "common sense" as you say, then it should be very easy to provide a reference to a reliable source, because lots of recognized experts will have written about it.
As far as being civil, this is a really good Wikipedia policy because being rude never improves a discussion. Jim was just trying to help you learn how to get along in Wikipedia, and helping Wikipedia to be a better place that discussion forums where people flame each other for sport. You should decide whether insulting someone who is trying to help you is how you want to behave. Ground Zero | t 12:14, 10 December 2012 (UTC)
Hi James! I don't know what you're talking about since my last comment was made almost a year and a half ago. If you look at the date/time of the above posts, you'll see that Ground Zero was the last to comment, and I did not respond further.
