[edit] Re-assertion of British sovereignty of the Falkland Islands (1833)
Hello. I assume that you are the anon who has been adding the NPOV tag thus far, and that you have just registered an account. Welcome.
According to our sources, the contents of the article Re-assertion of British sovereignty of the Falkland Islands (1833) are an accurate and neutral (though incomplete) account of the events of late 1832 and early 1833 on the Falkland Islands, which resulted in the British gaining control of said islands. If you feel that this article is POV, please give your reasoning at the talk page. Bear in mind that you will need to provide neutral reliable sources that back up your claims, if you dispute the content of the page. If no-one else knows where you think there is bias then the tag is useless, thus, if you do not choose to discuss your placement of the tag, other editors may well just assume that you are trolling and remove it accordingly.
Note that the creation of an account is not a legitimate way of defending yourself against WP:3RR. Pfainuk talk 20:35, 3 June 2008 (UTC)
[edit] 3RR
Please refrain from undoing other people's edits repeatedly, as you are doing at Monroe Doctrine. If you continue, you may be blocked from editing Wikipedia. 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. Rather than reverting, discuss disputed changes on the talk page. The revision you want is not going to be implemented by edit warring. Thank you.

Sorry, I am new to Wikipedia and I didn't know anything on the 3 revert rule. Anyway, I can't be accused of anything for trying to put an NPOV warning on an article that is not neutral, as you can see in this discussion page:
Talk:Re-assertion of British sovereignty of the Falkland Islands (1833)
The whole talk page is devoted to discuss whether the article is neutral or not, and that is a strong evidence of the lack of neutrality in the article.
I can't be accused either for correcting a very obvious error, as you can see in this talk:

- Mmm, new to wikipedia, but you know about NPOV tags and you've formatted your signature already. Please don't insult people's intelligence. Put forward a rationale for the NPOV claim on the talk page and people will discuss your concerns will you.
[edit] Be warned
Please be warned about 3RR editing. Given from previous experiences, I recommend you not to revert a 1RR. Discuss it on the talk page or with the user, unless it's plain blatant vandalism. Some administrators may choose to block immediately after the 3RR. Be safe. Prowikipedians (talk) 08:45, 4 June 2008 (UTC)
