A recent edit of yours

I removed some text from Ancient Egyptian race controversy‎ that wasn't backed up by the source, which says "who complained, among other things" - nothing about disagreeing with many of Hawass's statements. We need to stick close to our sources. Thanks. Dougweller (talk) 16:03, 9 March 2010 (UTC)

Fair enough.Mentuhotep23 (talk) 17:06, 9 March 2010 (UTC)

There seems to be pre-existing consensus that Diop is "Afrocentric", I apologize for accidentally using "Vandalism rollback", which was mistaken. You should make your case on the talk page and stop edit warring over the issue. --Pstanton (talk) 19:14, 8 June 2010 (UTC)

Can you cite pre-existing consensus that Diop is Afrocentric? I raised this issue on the talk page. One person disagreed with me and another agreed with me. I asked Fawal24 to stop edit warring but he refuses to discuss the matter on the talk page. At this point if he refuses to cooperate I believe administrative action needs to be taken and am prepared to make a case at the Edit war/3RR noticeboard. Mentuhotep23 (talk)

Accusations of edit warring

You need to read WP:AGF and WP:CIVIL -- calling my one edit edit warring is a personal attack, not a good idea. Please also read WP:3RR You don't take articles to WP:AN3 and you shouldn't threaten me with it as I've only edited the article once - as you are the only editor who has hit 3RR, I should point out that if you'd brought anyone else to the board you'd be taking a chance of being blocked. And for your own sake, I'll give you a formal 3RR warning when I finish this, please do not do any more reverting. Dougweller (talk) 13:30, 9 June 2010 (UTC)

June 2010

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war according to the reverts you have made on Cheikh Anta Diop. Note that the three-revert rule prohibits making more than three reversions on a single page within a 24-hour period. Additionally, users who perform several reversions in content disputes may be blocked for edit warring even if they do not technically violate the three-revert rule. When in dispute with another editor you should first try to discuss controversial changes to work towards wording and content that gains a consensus among editors. Should that prove unsuccessful, you are encouraged to seek dispute resolution, and in some cases it may be appropriate to request page protection. If the edit warring continues, you may be blocked from editing without further notice. I don't think you understand 3RR, I hope you will read the links and not get blocked or take anyone else to AN3 unless they have hit 3RR and been warned. Dougweller (talk) 13:31, 9 June 2010 (UTC)

If the edit warring continues, you may be blocked from editing without further notice. You almost went over earlier today but I didn't report you as it was stale. You made 6 reverts during the period that Fawal24 made 2. In addition, 3 editors have reverted you so you are clearly editing against consensus. Dougweller (talk) 22:55, 9 June 2010 (UTC)

Please do not add or change content without citing verifiable and reliable sources, as you did to Cheikh Anta Diop. Before making any potentially controversial edits, it is recommended that you discuss them first on the article's talk page. Please review the guidelines at Wikipedia:Citing sources and take this opportunity to add references to the article. Thank you. You again changed cited text from sub-Saharan "negroid" types.to sub-Saharan Africans. despite my noting that you'd done this on the talk page. Unless you can show that the source doesn't say Negroid, you should not do this. Dougweller (talk) 23:01, 9 June 2010 (UTC)

Note, user has made 12 reverts over five days. --dab (𒁳) 10:06, 10 June 2010 (UTC)

June 2010 2

You have been blocked from editing for a period of 24 hours to prevent further disruption caused by your engagement in an edit war at Cheikh Anta Diop. During a dispute, you should first try to discuss controversial changes and seek consensus. If that proves unsuccessful you are encouraged to seek dispute resolution, and in some cases it may be appropriate to request page protection. If you would like to be unblocked, you may appeal this block by adding the text {{unblock|your reason here}} below.

The complete report of this case is at WP:AN3#User:Mentuhotep23 reported by User:Tim Shuba (Result: 24h). EdJohnston (talk)
