The Left (Germany)[edit]

You put the NPOV tag to the article The Left (Germany). You are new to Wikipedia. So I'd like to inform you about the use of this tag. Because the tag does not discribe itself, we, as mentioned within the text of the tag, ad an explaination to the talk page of the article. Because you forgot to do so, the tag is in danger to be removed. Happy editing. --Thw1309 (talk) 08:07, 20 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Edit war.[edit]

Edit war at Sahra Wagenknecht: Please stop at once. There is not one single comment here. There has been no attempt to reach a consensus. There is no excuse for refusing to work toward a solution. If you don't both care enough to discuss, then you should abandon your edits. sinneed (talk) 05:06, 25 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I note that the text you are restoring is unsourced. If it is important to you, please source it. It is very difficult to defend unsourced content, and it is not vandalism to remove it, in very general (though it may be rude). Edit warring over it IS a Bad Thing. sinneed (talk) 05:06, 25 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

No confusion on my part. Please do not pursue this edit war further.

Example of unsourced portion which the 2 of you are edit warring over: "Sahra Wagenknecht-Niemeyer (born July 16, 1969 in Jena, Thuringia) is a German politician. She is a Member of the European Parliament, author, and a member of the National Committee of the Left Party. She is also currently the chief spokesperson for the Left Party's Communist Platform". While is very interesting, and I am sure this is all great information, it is without source.

No, the other editor is doing no better. Simply deleting the unsourced statements:

date, place of birth
nationality
Parliament membership
author
Party affiliation
"chief spokesperson" for "Communist Platform"

would have been much better than modding them to fit an agenda. The only critical sourcing, I should think is the party and the spokesperson thing. The only thing I would point out as being PoVish in this portion is the "chief spokesperson". I would kill the "chief" unless the party itself formally identifies her as such. Just one person's opinion, but there it is. :) All the best. sinneed (talk) 07:29, 25 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

It doesn't matter which part of the material you are edit warring about. It doesn't matter that the main problems are in another article. It doesn't even really matter who is right or wrong. What matters at this moment is that the 3 of you stop the edit war and talk. Now, please. sinneed (talk) 13:48, 25 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

November 2008[edit]

Replaced the incorrect template. sinneed (talk) 14:02, 25 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war according to the reverts you have made on Sahra Wagenknecht. 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 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. If you continue, you may be blocked from editing. Please do not repeatedly revert edits, but use the talk page to work towards wording and content that gains a consensus among editors. If necessary, pursue dispute resolution. Please **STOP** at once. sinneed (talk) 14:02, 25 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Stop the edit war, and there will be no more need for flags. I have tagged the article, as the 3 of you clearly believe it is biased. I have given all 3 of you warning flags on your pages so you will have had a chance to understand you are not doing as well as you might. I am out. All the best, and I hope the 3 of you will stop your edit war and talk. sinneed (talk) 14:10, 25 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
