Hello. Before making potentially controversial edits, such as those you made to Hezbollah, it is recommended that you discuss them first on the article's talk page. Also, make sure to use an informative edit summary for such edits. Otherwise, people might consider your edits to be vandalism. Thank you. One more small note, please do not use 'reversion' as a means to add information. That by itself, could be construed as vandalism. Thank you very much, and happy editing. --Kyra~(talk) 23:11, 12 October 2006 (UTC)
Please stop. If you continue to vandalize pages, as you did to Hezbollah, you will be blocked from editing Wikipedia. --Kyra~(talk) 23:18, 12 October 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Re: Message left on my page
Yes, first, the members of Hezbollah are Islamic, not Nazis. And second, further back in the page's history, I have noticed that other editors have also found that they think that the text you changed the image caption to was possibly controversial, as those edits have been reverted as well. For all we know, that could just be a general salute they give when they are being sworn in. Just because it looks like a salute the Nazis gave, does not mean that the intent for it to be that way is there.
And as for evidence, no, due to the fact that I have not talked to the people within that picture to inquire. By that very same token, however, the odds are quite high that the same can be said on your part. If you feel that the image caption must read that, please discuss the change on the talk page first. This will give you a chance to discuss your views with other editors may be informed as to why you wish it to read that way, otherwise, it may be considered vandalism, as others have already. Have a pleasant day, and happy editing. --Kyra~(talk) 23:45, 12 October 2006 (UTC)
