[edit] Civility

Name calling is not recommended. If your intention is to disrupt our activities, you will find your account blocked from editing. Please read up on our policies - including those linked above. Rklawton 11:27, 23 April 2007 (UTC)

I'm not here to disrupt wikipedia's activities, and I'm not calling you names. I'm accusing you of not being civil and lacking in wiki spirit. How's that for you? Are you going to try and harass me just because I'm upset with you? I made my point and you are changing the subject. So, make a valid point about the matter at hand or get off my ass.

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war according to the reverts you have made on Inaccurate media reports of the Virginia Tech massacre. 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 which gains a consensus among editors. Talk further with Skarioffszky and others; could they be right in part? In any event, this article is already the subject of much contention. Settle down before you drive it into a full-fledged edit war. Thanks. --Mhking 12:38, 24 April 2007 (UTC)

You may well be right about the anon edit, but I can't put my finger on it (I'm not an admin, so I don't have access to the "keys" to figure that part out). In any event, I would suggest that both of you step back from edit warring and talk it out -- without yelling at each other. Try to see what he's saying. He, likewise, should try to see what you're saying (and I'll say as much on the talk page). I'm sure there is some middle ground. Now, that being said, I can tell you that I work for an NBC affiliate, and they did indicate that some of the content was anti-Christian in nature, and that does exist, especially within the bounds of what was withheld from the public view (though, no, I haven't seen it personally; this is based on the internal communications I have received). Cho was a sick guy, whose mindset was all over the map. --Mhking 16:00, 24 April 2007 (UTC)

No, NBC is owned by General Electric (though technically it is its own company -- NBC Universal), and has been for at least the last 20 years. Of course, individual stations are owned by other parties (my station is owned by Gannett for example), but Turner (actually Turner's parent in that case, Time-Warner) does not own any of the broadcast network affiliates. --Mhking 16:14, 24 April 2007 (UTC)

Youngidealist, an administrator would be appropriate to contact about a revert war, not myself. Briefly looking at the section, two major omissions were missing so I placed them in the section and made a comment on the talk page. Beyond adding references to the section and giving my position on the talk page I can't help, and I won't deliberately enter a revert war. My advice is to count reverts and if they are reverting four times report it and they will be blocked. Make sure you don't do the same thing in the opposite direction. And if they have raised a point on the discussion page address it, they might have a valid concern and after discussion one or the other of you may change your position.
