[edit] About the white article

Hello, Osmium 14 and welcome to Wikipedia. I see that you are a good editor who wants to improve Wikipedia. Well, the white people article does not conform to Wikipedia's standards. There are some people who want to see non-whites included in the white race. It is up to good-hearted editors like yourself to find credible sociological sources and cite them. Sociologists agree that the Jews have historically not been considered whites. To cite a source open up the page and type in <ref>author name. book name. date. websiteURL.(if applicable)</ref>. If you need, help I'll be glad to help you. Some editors may try to remove your edit, but they are not playing by Wikipedia's rules. Wikipedia:Neutral point of view is a policy that demands all verifiable sides of the issue be represented. Of course, the POV that Jews are not white is well verifiable, so they will not be able to justify removing it based on official policy. Make sure to get a source written by a sociologist, because they'll remove the citation if it comes from a white nationalist or otherwise a "bad" source. Remember, you will not be allowed to revert the article to your version more than three times in 24 hours or you'll get banned. You should encourage more kindred spirits to come on down to Wikipedia for the defense of the white race. --DarkTea 00:13, 8 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] A new consensus on the white article

It is possible to make the white people article conform to the "majority's" view. Normally, if a person garnered like-minded people to his or her cause they would be accused of sock puppetry because their IPs will be shown to come from the same area. This is not a problem for a multiregional group whose IPs come from all over the US and Europe. If you and your multiregional supporters set up accounts on Wikipedia and held a majority on the article, Wikipedia's policy on consensus will allow the article to reflect the consensus of your group within the parameters of the governing laws. Currently, the white people article gives undue weight to the minority view that Middle Easterns are also white. As long as it is mentioned in passing for NPOV, your numerous fellowship can make the article arrive at a new consensus where this anti-white POV is further restricted.--DarkTea 16:22, 8 February 2007 (UTC)

Thank you for making a report on Wikipedia:Administrator intervention against vandalism. Reporting and removing vandalism is vital to the functioning of Wikipedia and all users are encouraged to revert, warn, and report vandalism. However, administrators are generally only able to block users if they have received a recent final warning (one that mentions that the user may be blocked) and they have recently vandalized after that warning was given. The reported user has not yet been blocked because it appears this has not occurred yet. If this user continues to vandalize even after their final warning, please report them to the AIV noticeboard again. Thank you! --Nlu (talk) 16:46, 14 March 2007 (UTC)
