You seem to be confused about the way things are done on Wikipedia (or you have decided to create your own rules). Please see Talk:Known Unknowns#Removal of unsourced trivia and WP:ANI#User:71.77.21.198, and cease edit warring. Thank you. 71.77.21.198 ( talk) 15:49, 3 April 2010 (UTC)
Hi Seashorewiki, I reported the above Ip on the ANI page. The user above removed some sourced lines from one of the House episode pages I edit as well,when I cited another source he renamed the section as trivia then tagged it as miscellaneous with a edit message that it will be removed in a month. If you want to comment on his position, you can leave a comment on the ANI page section about the IP user above. I think we have something in common here and I support your position if it helps, one anon IP user should not get to decide what other people contribute especially if its sourced. Thanks -- Theo10011 ( talk) 17:28, 3 April 2010 (UTC)
Fine, I have made my position and I dont plan on dragging this out further as well. the only thing that irked me were threats of policy violation, it really doesn't mean anything to me, either get someone involved and make your case or dont- stop threatening. Just an observation though, your repeated citations of policy presents a paradox since by definition Wikipedia guidelines are formed by a community consensus or in other words a majority rule and you are using those same guidelines to argue against a majority rule.-- Theo10011 ( talk) 20:00, 3 April 2010 (UTC)
Hi seashorewiki, I just read your message on my page and wanted to let you know I understand your position. As for the issue here, the cultural reference section from my edits had 3 sources, the argument was about if there is a need for trivia section all together, apparently there are guidlines against it. I still think a small unsourced cultural reference or trivia section is pretty harmless if it doesnt go against any other wiki policy, the IP user believes they all need to go. Also, For future use if you ever need sources for trivia from Tv episodes, allusions etc. you might want to look at TV.com, they have a small trivia section on episode guide, I used it for house episode guides. Hope this helps, and again I agree with you on your position, they is no argument from me, Its the anon Ip user above who had the problem. Take care. -- Theo10011 ( talk) 08:10, 4 April 2010 (UTC)
You currently appear to be engaged in an
edit war according to the reverts you have made on
Known Unknowns. 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.
