[edit] Explain Please

I have attempted to remove redundant information (speculation about whether a new X-Files movie will be made or not) and replace it with factual information (the recent confirmation by Twentieth Century Fox that a new movie is to be made, etc), yet the information is being reverted and I've received warnings for "blanking the page". I'd prefer to believe this is an eror of some kind and not the work of some anti-Chris Carter, anti-X-Files 2 zealot. 210.54.245.44 03:55, 5 November 2007 (UTC)

Please do not replace Wikipedia pages with blank content. Blank pages are harmful to Wikipedia because they have a tendency to confuse readers. If it is a duplicate article, please redirect it to an appropriate existing page. If the page has been vandalised, please revert it to the last legitimate version. If you feel that the content of a page is inappropriate, please edit the page and replace it with appropriate content. If you believe there is no hope for the page, please see the deletion policy for how to proceed. -- KnowledgeOfSelf | talk 02:42, 5 November 2007 (UTC)

Please stop. If you continue to blank pages, you will be blocked from editing Wikipedia. -- KnowledgeOfSelf | talk 02:48, 5 November 2007 (UTC)

This is your last warning.
The next time you vandalize a page, you will be blocked from editing Wikipedia. C'est moi 02:48, 5 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Warning regarding your edits to The X-Files

Please stop assuming ownership of articles. Doing so may lead to disruptive behavior such as edit wars and is a violation of policy, which may lead to a block from editing. ---RepublicanJacobiteThe'FortyFive' 05:41, 5 November 2007 (UTC)

This is very interesting. Who is it that is being accused of assuming ownership here? I see a person making reasonable edits under the circumstances - the updated news about this project - and I see them being slapped down by someone who seems to think that the new edits aren't acceptable. I fail to see any problem with the original edits - which I have restored btw - and I cannot see any justification for removing them. The unedited article is ambiguous at best. The new edit clarifies the situation a lot by explaining that the new movie has indeed been announced and confirmed by the studio and that previous speculation is now just historical speculation and should be afforded little weight. The personal opinions and guesswork has been replaced by authoritive statements and facts from those making the movie.

If warnings are in order, they should be targeted at those who appear to be guarding the ambiguous form of the article. Why they feel they have the right to warn off those attempting to improve the article is difficult to fathom. Rabidly Placid 08:06, 5 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Blocked

You have been blocked from editing for a period of 31 hours in accordance with Wikipedia's blocking policy for edit warring at The X-Files. It is essential that you are more careful to discuss controversial changes with the user in question, rather than simply revert them repeatedly: this applies even if you think or know you are correct. Edit warring helps nobody, and actually harms the page in question, and the encyclopedia - please bear this in mind.

Kind regards,

If you believe this block is unjustified, you may contest the block by
adding the text "{{unblock|your reason here}}" below this text, or contact me.

[edit] November 2007

Welcome to Wikipedia. Everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia. However, adding content without citing a reliable source, as you did to Meridian Energy Limited, is not consistent with our policy of verifiability. This is especially important when dealing with biographies of living people. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. If you are already familiar with Wikipedia:Citing sources please take this opportunity to add your original reference to the article. Thank you. Gscshoyru 22:19, 8 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] X-Files

Why are the facts being reverted on the X-Files page? The new X-Files movie has been officially confirmed by Twentieth Century Fox, yet the article is constantly being reverted back to a state whereby readers will assume that the new movie is simply speculative, when in fact it isn't. I have repeatedly attempted to clarify the situation and article yet for some reason a few members would prefer that the content and facts remain unclear! The new movie has been officially confirmed! It is not speculative, so why not make that clear on the WIKIPEDIA ENCYCLOPEDIA?210.54.245.44 22:19, 8 November 2007 (UTC)

Why are you moving the section? The part you're moving seems to be a conclusion of the rest, so moving it and labeling the rest as speculation makes them seem seperate, and the stuff you're calling speculation is a "failed path," so to speak, which does not seem to be the case. So unless there's some good reason to move that section, in which case please explain on the talk, leave it where it is. Gscshoyru 22:22, 8 November 2007 (UTC)
Please take the time to read the articles before reverting. I have added publicly available facts to the article, clarifying it greatly in the process. The previous version did not include the new facts (that Twentieth Century Fox have officially confirmed the new movie) and is now badly out of date! Why on earth would you wan to keep an out of date article with gross inaccuracies in preference to an updated article with the current facts? I originally deleted the old stuff but another editor restored it and included my own edit which worked well but other editors have deleted my additions, reverting it to an out of date state. By moving my edits to the top it makes it clear that the previous edits are now out dated speculation mostly.210.54.245.44 22:25, 8 November 2007 (UTC)
They seem pretty recent to me -- much of what is stated happens in 2007, which is in fact recent. Adding the confirmation I can understand, but moving it still makes no sense whatsoever. And this really should be discussed on the talk, not here. Gscshoyru 22:30, 8 November 2007 (UTC)

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war according to the reverts you have made on The X-Files. Note that the three-revert rule prohibits making more than three reversions in a content dispute within a 24 hour period. Additionally, users who perform a large number of reversions in content disputes may be blocked for edit warring, even if they do not technically violate the three-revert rule. If you continue, you may be blocked from editing. Please do not repeatedly revert edits, but use the talk page to work towards wording and content that gains a consensus among editors.

I have to get back to work. Once again Wikipedia comes to be dominated by those with axes to grind and lots of time on their hands.
