Hello, I'm Jacona. I noticed that you recently removed content from Nashville Christian School without adequately explaining why. In the future, it would be helpful to others if you described your changes to Wikipedia with an accurate edit summary. If this was a mistake, don't worry; the removed content has been restored. If you would like to experiment, please use your sandbox. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thanks.

Please refrain from making unconstructive edits to Wikipedia, as you did at Nashville Christian School. Your edits appear to constitute vandalism and have been reverted. If you would like to experiment, please use your sandbox. Repeated vandalism may result in the loss of editing privileges. Thank you. Jacona (talk) 16:02, 13 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Please stop your disruptive editing. If you continue to censor or remove encyclopedic content based on the fact that it is offensive to some readers, as you did at Nashville Christian School, you may be blocked from editing. Wikipedia is not censored, and attempts to censor encyclopedic content will be regarded as vandalism. Jacona (talk) 00:45, 15 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, I'm Jacona. I wanted to let you know that one or more of your recent contributions to Nashville Christian School have been undone because they did not appear constructive.

Your recent editing history at Nashville Christian 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.
Please discuss your concerns at the article's talk page. It might not hurt to mention the passages from the source that you feel support your position. —C.Fred (talk) 17:47, 15 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

In particular, please explain how the direct quotation you removed is misrepresentative. —C.Fred (talk) 17:49, 15 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Hello C.Fred (talk) I have read all cited sources for the Nashville Christian School page. The quote can be found here https://www.newspapers.com/clip/81514399/ The quote you are asserting as "direct" is being taken out of context. Mr. Demunbreun state that he almost didn't take the job as headmaster due to the false assumption that the school was founded on whites fighting desegregation. If you take the time to read the rest of his quote he goes on to say that that was not true and that "Children of all races are welcome" Here March in 1972 NCS publicly shows they have a racially Nondiscriminatory admissions policy. https://tennessean.newspapers.com/clip/81515018/racially-nondiscriminatory-admissions-po/ Here again in '74 https://tennessean.newspapers.com/clip/81516132/ And this sited article never even mentions Nashville Christian School at all https://tennessean.newspapers.com/clip/81517563/

I being a black person from Nashville feel this type of garbage race baiting fueled by hate needs to stop. If it is true and backed by legit articles or better yet encyclopedic citations by all means add it. I promise I won't edit something that is properly sourced and cited. This is just pushing false narratives. I will leave you with a quote from Robert F. Kennedy speaking to a crowd in Indianapolis, Indiana April 4, 1968 "Martin Luther King dedicated his life to love and to justice for his fellow human beings, and he died because of that effort.In this difficult day, in this difficult time for the Untied States, it is perhaps well to ask what kind of a nation we are and what direction we want to move in. For those of you who are black--considering the evidence there evidently is that there were white people who responsible--you can be filled with bitterness, with hatred, and a desire for revenge. We can move intuit direction as a country, in great polarization-black people amongst black, white people amongst white, filled with hatred towards one another. Or we can make an effort, a Martin Luther King did, to understand and to comprehend, and to replace that violence, that stain bloodshed that has spread across our land, with an effort to understand with compassion and love. For those of you who are black and are tempted to be filled with hatred and distrust at the injustice of such an act, against all white people, I can only say that I feel in my own heart the same kind feeling. I has a member of my family killed, but he was killed by a white man. But we have to make an effort to understand and to go beyond these rather difficult times. My favorite poet was Aeschylus. He wrote: "In our sleep, pain which cannot forget falls drop by drop upon the heart until, in our own despair, against our will, comes the wisdom through the awful grace of God." Whats we need in this country is not division; what we need is not hatred; what we need in the United States is not violence or lawlessness; but love and wisdom, and compassion toward one another, and a feeling justice toward those who still suffer within our country whether they be white or they be black. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Itztrue (talk • contribs) 02:37, July 16, 2021 (UTC)

You need to discuss this on the article's talk page. You have attempted to remove this material nine times now without having discussed it. Discuss it on the article's talk page and wait for editors to reach consensus, or leave it alone. Meters (talk) 03:13, 16 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I have opened the discussion and pinged the editor who I believe added the claims and sources in 2017. Meters (talk) 03:15, 16 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]
