Re: Elvira Arellano, please discuss your changes on the article's talk page instead of just engaging in a revert war. Thanks. —Wknight94 (talk) 06:10, 26 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] 3RR warning for Elvira Arellano

You are in danger of violating the three-revert rule on Elvira Arellano. Please cease further reverts or you may be blocked from editing. —Wknight94 (talk) 01:07, 27 November 2006 (UTC)

She is not an undocumented worked, as she is not working. It is unfair to punish me with my attempt to include a key fact (I have modified it is several different ways in an attempt to compromise, but to also make sure this critically important fact is included in the article).

I have fairly and accurately stated that she should be listed as an illegal immigrant/alien in the history as you initially asked. (others, you twice and Ramsey2006 has done three reverts. Not only to undo my additions, but the person with address 68.whatever)

The fact that biased sources (i.e. people with links to groups involved in the story with an agenda can revert a known fact for political reason completely undermines wikipedia.) Know, this is the first article I have attempted to edit, but this omission is considerable.

Now, I am learning as I go, I put clear reasons in the history for my change, at your request, but you have punished me a second time, by reverting back.

Reasoning:

Somebody who crosses the border illegally is an illegal alien.

Elvira Arellano is therefore an illegal alien.

Elvira Arellano may also be an undocumented worker, but so a teenager who does not report baby sitting wages.

To list Elvira Arellano as solely and undocumented worker, with no reference to her being an illegal immigrant/alien is factually negligent.

Countless news articles refer to her as such:

*[[1]]
*[[2]]

Even CNN from this transcript:

Listen, you are the admin, you can block me if you want, but I hope this is sufficient to have her listed as an illegal immigrant/alien. Please let me know what you end up deciding also I am being honest when I state the 68.something IP is another individual who had this very same fact edited out and who provided support for it as well.

You should add all this to Talk:Elvira Arellano. The dispute is about one article so let's consolidate the discussion to that article's talk page. BTW, it wouldn't be me blocking anyone for 3RR. Since I'm more involved now, I wouldn't want to be accused of being biased. I'm just trying to mediate. —Wknight94 (talk) 02:39, 27 November 2006 (UTC)
