[edit] Three revert rule

As of this edit you are at three reverts for today (and my followup puts me at 3 as well). I'm just letting you know about the three revert rule, which is that no user may revert something more than 3 times in 24 hours. (You've gone over this limit before, so I wasn't sure if you were aware of the rule.) - Rainwarrior 18:35, 29 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Educating ourselves about Wikipedia policies and practices

Hello Commator. I would like to suggest that we should educate ourselves about Wikipedia policies and practices that relate to listing "tributes" to famous people. This question must have arisen on pages other than Konstantin Tsiolkovsky. Lots of famous people get mentioned in ways that could be considered a tribute to them. Perhaps we could find a place where a similar dispute happened, and see how it was resolved? Right now I don't know what is policy or what is common practice, much less what should be policy and practice! Can you help me get a better understanding of this -- again I mean on articles other than the one about Tsiolkovsky? (sdsds - talk) 21:32, 6 October 2007 (UTC)

Hello Sdsds. I have such ideas on this matter. It is incorrectly to interpret imposition of the modest bunch of flowers to famous monument as self-promotion. It is incorrectly to remove modest bunch of flowers from a non-notable admirer, which is placed on the famous monument. Also it is incorrectly to be afraid that very many of such bunches are possible. As for K. E. Tsiolkovsky, it is bad that just this matter led to the article blocking during his 150 anniversary.
