[edit] March 2008

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war according to the reverts you have made on Barack Obama presidential campaign, 2008. 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. If necessary, pursue dispute resolution. Loonymonkey (talk) 04:22, 5 March 2008 (UTC)

Welcome to Wikipedia! I am glad to see you are interested in discussing a topic. However, as a general rule, talk pages such as Talk:Barack Obama presidential campaign, 2008 are for discussion related to improving the article, not general discussion about the topic. If you have specific questions about certain topics, consider visiting our reference desk and asking them there instead of on article talk pages. Thank you.

This is your last warning. You will be blocked from editing the next time you vandalize a page, as you did with this edit to Barack Obama presidential campaign, 2008. Dycedarg ж 05:17, 5 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Re:Obama

The only edit you made that I have any opinion of, is the one I reverted, and that would be your removal of an entire section without an edit summary in this edit. If you want to remove large portions of text please specify your reason for doing so in an edit summary, or it will probably get reverted as vandalism. The only reason my warning was worded so harshly is because I was using a program that automatically issues warnings based on prior warnings on your page, and you'd already received a level three warning. I have not read anything else you've written on the page.--Dycedarg ж 05:39, 5 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Re:Vandalism

When you're editing a page, towards the bottom above the save page and show preview buttons there's a text box titled Edit summary. It is helpful when you're making edits to fill out that box with information about what you're doing to help people understand the basis for your edits, especially when they might be considered controversial. More information concerning edit summaries can be found here. As for the rules concerning primary sources; they depend on how it was published, among other things. You can find all of our rules concerning sources and how they may be used here.--Dycedarg ж 06:03, 5 March 2008 (UTC)
