[edit] Edits of Westboro Baptist Church

Changing "Westboro Baptist Church (WBC) is a controversial church, considered by many to be a hate group" to "Westboro Baptist Church (WBC) is a controversial hate group, considered by many to be a hate group" is not a helpful edit. Please don't change words because of your personal dislike of them when those changes lead to a nonsensical sentence. The Westboro Baptist Church is a church, and is properly referred to as such, and Wikipedia isn't going to stop referring to the church as a church just because you don't like it. Do not make this sort of change without prior discussion and prior consensus on the article's talk page. - Nunh-huh 17:50, 9 October 2007 (UTC)

They're not a church, that's how they evade paying taxes. Also, how are they not a hate group? There's reliable sources quoting them as a hate group. ≈ Maurauth (Ravenor) 17:51, 9 October 2007 (UTC)

You've been warned. Do not violate the WP:3RR. Please read the sentence you produce through your change. They are a church, whether or not you like that definition. It makes no sense whatsoever to say "they are a hate group considered to be a hate group". Your behavior and your reversions despite being informed that your edits are - at best - problematic are inappropriate and may lead to your being blocked. - Nunh-huh 17:56, 9 October 2007 (UTC)

You can hardly talk, you've already broken the 3RR. Also, I don't see how calling a hate group a hate group is "problematic" or "inappropriate", infact you may be blocked for breaking the rules. ≈ Maurauth (Ravenor) 18:38, 9 October 2007 (UTC)

No, I haven't. Please don't make more false statements; now is the time for you to stop and actually think about your behavior, rather than reflexively defend it. You can start by assessing why the sentence "they are a hate group considered to be a hate group" should exist. In your editor review you note that you need to work on assuming good faith and being polite: this would be a good opportunity for you to learn that when your edits are repeatedly removed, there is probably a good reason. - Nunh-huh 18:48, 9 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] 4chan

Do you have a source that it is being DDOSed? All is known is that it is has been gone for about a week. William Ortiz 15:23, 22 October 2007 (UTC)

There's multiple quotes of moot saying that they're being DDOSed. And still, it's more likely than them being investigated by the police. ≈ Maurauth (Ravenor) 16:12, 22 October 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for uploading Image:Trivium Ascendancy Cover.jpg. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that media for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that all non-free media not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. BetacommandBot 15:22, 25 October 2007 (UTC)
