I'm Currently in a Wikipedia Edit War Over the CW - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

TMC · 03-23-2011, 01:21 AM

I'm trying to claim that since UPN and WB are in essence, early versions of the CW (therefore, their respective programs and affiliates are by default, also those of the CW's retroactively) they should be incorporated in a template for the CW. He seems to want me to believe that the CW is really a separate entity from UPN and the WB.

Basically, this user named MikeWazowski (yes, he apparently, named himself after that giant, green eyeball character from Monsters, Inc.) just reported me for edit warring over a template that I made in regards to the CW:

Please see WP:AN3#User:BornonJune8 reported by User:MikeWazowski (Result: ). You may respond there if you wish. Since you've clearly broken WP:3RR, you may be blocked unless you promise to wait for consensus regarding the content and usage of Template:The CW Television Network.

The issue at hand stems from me incorporating articles relating to the networks that proceeded the CW, UPN and the WB.

In a nutshell, this is MikeWazowski's logic behind his point of view:

(Undid revision 420269149 by BornonJune8 (talk) technically, no. Both networks shut down and a new entity was formed. Please stop edit warring.) (undo)

The *beep* *beep* administrator blocked me anyway and tried to twist my words around. It was pretty much they're word against mine:

Result: Blocked 31 hours for 3RR violation. It is not enough to 'clearly state and articulate' your rationale. You also need to persuade the other editors that your version is correct. If the others disagree you should wait for consensus and not just continue to revert. EdJohnston (talk) 05:40, 23 March 2011 (UTC)

Wikipedia and their affiliates (like Uncyclopedia) CAN be strict in their editing and pages (Some pages get killed on Wikipedia for no apparent reason).
