Revert warring

The standard practice on Misplaced Pages is BOLD, REVERT, DISCUSS (see WP:BRD)... not BOLD, REVERT, UN-REVERT, EDIT WAR. Please discuss your issues with the header "Jurisdictional area" on the article talk page (I have set up a section for that discussion.) Thank you. Blueboar (talk) 12:33, 6 January 2012 (UTC)

Please stop threatening revert war attacks. If you cannot edit Misplaced Pages without threatening people, please do something else.129.133.127.112 (talk) 06:27, 7 January 2012 (UTC)
I am not threatening a revert war... I am trying to stop it before it gets going. That's why I asked that, instead of re-reverting, you engage me on the talk page and discuss. Blueboar (talk) 13:43, 7 January 2012 (UTC)

List of Freemasons, pelase add person, Carlos Romero Gimenez

Dear Blueboar: There is an article in Spanish Misplaced Pages: coronel carlos romero giménez. Regards Descendiente (talk) 02:56, 8 January 2012 (UTC)

Other language versions of Wikipeida have different rules for inclusion than the English version... See WP:Verifiability and WP:Reliable sources for what the rules are here on the English language version. In short, we need to be able to cite reliable sources, and wikis (in any language) are not considered reliable. Blueboar (talk) 03:14, 8 January 2012 (UTC)

Dear Blueboar: I do not understand why Spanish Misplaced Pages could not be considered as reliable as English Misplaced Pages. Anyway, it was in my plans to make an English translation of Romero's article. Have you seen it? References would necesarily still be in Spanish. Would that be a problem? Regards. Descendiente (talk) 03:08, 9 January 2012 (UTC)

It isn't that we consider the English language Misplaced Pages more reliable than the Spanish language Misplaced Pages... the fact is, we don't consider any version of Misplaced Pages reliable (we don't consider wiki's reliable, no matter what language they are in).
We probably would consider the sources that are cited in the Spanish article reliable here on the English verison. I say "probably" because each of the different language versions of Misplaced Pages have developed slightly different sets of rules and guidelines over the years... sort of the way different countries have slightly different laws... so, while most sources would be fine on both sites, it is quite possible for a specific source to be considered reliable at one, and yet considered not reliable at the other. Whether this affects any of the sources you wish to use I can not say (I don't read Spanish, and so can not judge them). Blueboar (talk) 03:48, 9 January 2012 (UTC)
