Wikien-l, I have just been blocked for an alleged 3RR violation at Saddam Hussein and al-Qaeda I thought the rules favored the contributor, since the first edit doesn't count as a revert, but in this case it appears the first edit is being counted as a revert so the deletionist is getting the final say. While my first edit is adding text that I have previously proposed, it is two days later and to a new version of the article. The text had previously been opposed but on unconvincing, rather spurious grounds that I have responded to in good faith on the talk page and in the edit summaries. I think this article is heading for two versions because csloat is trying to rally a clique, but in the meantime I am curious about this technical issue of how edits/reverts are counted. I would not have knowingly violated 3RR, apologies if I am wrong. -- thanx for your consideration, Silverback
