[edit] Suggestion
When you engage in revert warring, like you did on Islamophobia, you should try to make your reasons known on the article talk page. Wikipedia is a place where people with different points of view and ideologies try to find a way to collaborate, and reverting without engaging in discussion usually just makes things worse. Anyway, welcome to Wikipedia & happy editing! JACOPLANE • 2007-03-27 20:04
- Well, precisely because you are new, so you might not be aware of Wikipedia etiquette. More experienced users should know better, and I certainly frown upon revert warring from them too. I was just trying to be helpful, and I think you will find that I am correct: being confrontational on Wikipedia rather than engaging in dialogue will not help you get the results you desire. Especially on an article as emotionally charged as Islamophobia, this will help you deal with others that you might not agree with. Anyway, I can tell you don' appreciate my advice, so from now on I'll leave you alone. JACOPLANE • 2007-03-27 20:14
[edit] FFI
No worries, your commentary is a bit adversarial though. You are always welcome to adjust it if you decide later that it was "too much". (→Netscott) 03:06, 28 March 2007 (UTC)
