[edit] African Jew

Hi. I'm posting this message on several accounts in the hope that you'll read it. I've been watching what's been going on recently with this page and I think something needs to be done about it. There are at least four editors (myself included) who seem ready to revert your edits as soon as they are made and there seems little point in your continuing to make them. Let me say I'm not Jewish; I'm not African and I don't know much or have strong opinions about either; I do however trust Kaelus and Ehav on the basis of their editing history and the contents of their talk pages to make rational edits. The reason I keep reverting is that I just don't understand the rationale for removing every occurrence of the word Jew from a page about Jews and I can only conclude that this is politically motivated - please tell me if I'm wrong. In the last few hours I've overlooked a violation of the three reverts rule and the probable use of a second account to circumvent this rule, both of which could potentially get you blocked and I'm hoping I can persuade you to talk about your changes, in line with normal Wikipedia policy rather than constantly reverting to the same version. If you have a problem with the nature of the article or with the current terminology used it might be in your own interests, in order to create a final page that is acceptable to you, to discuss your changes and to try to work towards consensus. Other users have explained their reverts on the article's talk page - why not do the same? At the moment you're coming very close to being blocked. If you would like to reply to this message please do so on my talk page; if you would like to talk about the African Jew article, please do so on the article's talk page. Thank you for reading. --Lo2u 01:21, 9 July 2006 (UTC)
