We welcome and appreciate your contributions, but your recent edits to Scouting/BSA/Citizenship in the World Merit Badge had to be undone. Please see What is Wikibooks? to learn more about what contributions are beneficial to Wikibooks. It might not have been your intention, but your recent edit removed content from Wikibooks. When removing text, please specify a reason in the edit summary and discuss edits that are likely to be controversial on the page's talk page. If this was a mistake, don't worry; the text has been restored, as you can see from the page history. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this project, and if you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. Thank you. – Adrignola talk 18:26, 15 August 2010 (UTC)

You cannot edit for 1 week due to your continued removal of material from pages. You are welcome to contribute constructively when editing privileges are restored. You may appeal this action with a reasonable argument by adding the text below. – Adrignola talk 19:54, 15 August 2010 (UTC)


 * (note) Kids are more likely to book it at Wikijunior. — I-20 the highway  21:34, 15 August 2010 (UTC)
 * (note) No that does not make sense, please just erase the answers to the question in the requirements for the Citizenhip in the World merit badge Wikibook think here. It's better if it's erased so kids don't use those answers when they should be doing the work themselves.
 * Wikibooks is not censored. Period. — I-20 the highway  22:10, 15 August 2010 (UTC)


 * It is easy for somebody assessing work (whether a child's or an adult's) to check if they have plagiarized the answer. All assessors need to do this because the information to answer any question is easily available on the Internet. In the case of your edits, it is custom and practice within this Wikibook to include the answers. While you may disagree with this, just erasing them (repeatedly) is not the way to approach it once other people have started to revert your edits. The best way is probably to start a discussion on the talk page of the book to explain why you think the answers should be removed. However, as I-20 states, the overarching princple is that we do not censor content so removing something because it might be "misused" is unlikely to ever succeed as an argument, but feel free to try.

Okay I understand, thanks, but also I was trying to fix some answers up and make them better than they were originally (this was before I did the crazy erasing) and I was actually making the answers more elaborate and better. I don't understand why they were erased, because I turned a three word sentence into a paragraph with better detail.
 * It may have been reverted by mistake. The rollback tool will reverse all sequential edits by one person, so if you expanded an answer, then deleted something else (for example), the person trying to revert your removal may have accidentally removed all your changes. Anyway, I've removed your block as requested. If you're trying to improve the answers, please go ahead and do so. Thanks. QU TalkQu 23:37, 15 August 2010 (UTC)

Okay, thanks you for working with me, and I'm sorry for my misdoings and will take what you said and I will try to do things more appropriately now. Thank you again for you time and cooperation.
