Please do not add or change content, as you did at Geneva Community High School, without citing a reliable source. Please review the guidelines at Wikipedia:Citing sources and take this opportunity to add references to the article. Adding a cn to your own edit is not a license to add unsourced material. If it need a source and you don't have one, do not add it. I've undone multiple edits by you to several different articles. Don't add unsourced content. Don't add content that does not have to do with the article. Don't add anonymous conjectures. Meters (talk) 21:27, 10 August 2020 (UTC)

And don't add alumni who do not have articles. Meters (talk) 21:29, 10 August 2020 (UTC)

Please stop your disruptive editing. If you continue to add unsourced or poorly sourced content, as you did at Glenbard South High School, you may be blocked from editing. The source does not say it happened at the school, or that it happened at a school function, just that it involved students. Meters (talk) 00:35, 11 August 2020 (UTC)

You may be blocked from editing without further warning the next time you add unsourced material to Wikipedia, as you did at Geneva Community High School. Stop adding alumni who do not have a Wikipedia articles or references to show their attendance. Meters (talk) 00:36, 11 August 2020 (UTC)

Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. You appear to be repeatedly reverting or undoing other editors' contributions at Glenbard South High School. Although this may seem necessary to protect your preferred version of a page, on Wikipedia this is known as "edit warring" and is usually seen as obstructing the normal editing process, as it often creates animosity between editors. Instead of reverting, please discuss the situation with the editor(s) involved and try to reach a consensus on the talk page.

If editors continue to revert to their preferred version they are likely to lose their editing privileges. This isn't done to punish an editor, but to prevent the disruption caused by edit warring. In particular, editors should be aware of the three-revert rule, which says that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Edit warring on Wikipedia is not acceptable in any amount, and violating the three-revert rule is very likely to result in loss of your editing privileges.

You have added this three times now. Per WP:BRD you should have discussed this on the article's talk page after the first undo. I specifically asked you to do so after the second undo. And telling me I should read the ref is pointless when I obviously have. As I said in my first summary "nothing in the source says anything about this being a school incident. If it just involved students, but not at the school or a school function it does not belong" and in my second summary "undo again. Take it to talk please. The source does not say it happened at the school, or at a school function, just that it was students". Maybe you should actually read the edit summaries next time.

Your recent editing history at Geneva Community High School shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war; that means that you are repeatedly changing content back to how you think it should be, when you have seen that other editors disagree. To resolve the content dispute, please do not revert or change the edits of others when you are reverted. Instead of reverting, please use the talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. The best practice at this stage is to discuss, not edit-war. See the bold, revert, discuss cycle for how this is done. If discussions reach an impasse, you can then post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection.

Being involved in an edit war can result in you being blocked from editing—especially if you violate the three-revert rule, which states that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Undoing another editor's work—whether in whole or in part, whether involving the same or different material each time—counts as a revert. Also keep in mind that while violating the three-revert rule often leads to a block, you can still be blocked for edit warring—even if you do not violate the three-revert rule—should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly.

You may be blocked from editing without further warning the next time you vandalize Wikipedia, as you did at Geneva Community High School. Not just edit warring a non-notable alumnus, but an apparently fake entry too. This has been going on for 5 months. Enough. Meters (talk) 04:51, 16 August 2020 (UTC)
