Martin McGuinness

[edit]

Please note that content in Wikipedia articles must be directly verifiable in published reliable sources, and that our rules concerning matters relating to living persons are particularly strict. Accordingly, it is not permissible to assert that McGuinness's views are 'heretical' - the BBC article you link does not state that at all. AndyTheGrump (talk) 17:43, 17 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war according to the reverts you have made on Martin McGuinness. Users are expected to collaborate with others, to avoid editing disruptively, and to try to reach a consensus rather than repeatedly undoing other users' edits once it is known that there is a disagreement.

Please be particularly aware that Wikipedia's policy on edit warring states:

  1. Edit warring is disruptive regardless of how many reverts you have made.
  2. Do not edit war even if you believe you are right.

In particular, editors should be aware of the three-revert rule, which says that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. While edit warring on Wikipedia is not acceptable in any amount and can lead to a block, breaking the three-revert rule is very likely to lead to a block. If you find yourself in an editing dispute, use the article's talk page to discuss controversial changes; work towards a version that represents consensus among editors. You can post a request for help at an appropriate noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases it may be appropriate to request temporary page protection.
