Pope Pius XII

I also welcome you to Wikipedia. However, I would beg you to please not make major one-sided changes to Pope Pius XII without talk page consensus. Both str1977 and myself have reverted you on this manner. May I suggest that as a token of your good faith you discontinue adding the same information over and over and instead participate on the talk page discussion. I also feel obliged at this point to inform you about the Three Revert Rule, which you should read up on. I beg you: if you discuss your changes and wait until others have agreed with you, the editting process will be better for all. savidan^{(talk) (e@)} 19:43, 5 July 2006 (UTC)

You are in danger of violating the three-revert rule on a page. Please cease further reverts or you may be blocked from further editing. savidan^{(talk) (e@)}

I find it kitschy that you performed your fourth revert exactly 24 hours and one minute after your first. Please note that the 3RR is not an indicate of a right to 3 reverts in 24 hours. I implore you: stop trying to sneak your biased version of the article in without edit summaries and instead try to respect and work towards talk page consensus. savidan^{(talk) (e@)} 18:26, 6 July 2006 (UTC)

Erika Steinbach

What is the POV problem you find in the article version you are reverting? Could you explain, besides claiming it is obvious? In particular, what do you think is the correct way to describe the status of Rumia in 1939-1945? Pozdrawiam. Balcer 19:49, 5 July 2006 (UTC)

Pope Pius XII Userbox

I just thought I should let you know that the image used in your userbox is a fair use image and thus not one that should be used in the userspace. The same with the images of Pope Benedict XVI. Only free images may be used in this manner. The only free image currently uploaded for Pius XII is the one of his ordaination; I know of none for Benedict XVI. I will give you a chance to remove these yourself as it is your userpage. savidan^{(talk) (e@)} 21:59, 5 July 2006 (UTC)

Hi, I've actually just edited your page to remove these fair use images. I have replaced them with free images of the two popes. If you would like an explanation of why this was done, please read through User:Durin/Removal of fair use images and feel free to ask any questions you might have on my talk page. Thank you. —Mira 01:26, 6 July 2006 (UTC)

Personal attacks

Hi, I'm writing as I'm upset with the aggression that you've expressed in your recent edits of Erika Steinbach. Contrary to what you've written in your edit summary [1] I did never refer to you as neo-Nazi. I have commented on the point of view maintaining that occupied Poland during WW2 was not Poland but part of Germany but I have not criticized you personally. Maybe you could try not to use edit summaries to make personal attacks or threats like this one and focus on the merit instead. Personal emotions will not help a reasonable discussion and we would end up in a revert war instead. I would also like to use this opportunity to mention that I consider "a nationalist" to be an offensive term. --Lysy^talk 20:19, 6 July 2006 (UTC)
