September 2010

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war according to the reverts you have made on Musicians Institute. Note that the three-revert rule prohibits making more than three reversions on a single page within a 24-hour period. Additionally, users who perform several reversions in content disputes may be blocked for edit warring even if they do not technically violate the three-revert rule. When in dispute with another editor you should first try to discuss controversial changes to work towards wording and content that gains a consensus among editors. Should that prove unsuccessful, you are encouraged to seek dispute resolution, and in some cases it may be appropriate to request page protection. If the edit warring continues, you may be blocked from editing without further notice. Reconsider ! 11:40, 4 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, we would like to remind you not to attack other editors. Please comment on the contributions and not the contributors. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. You are welcome to rephrase your comment as a civil criticism of the article. Thank you.

October 2010

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war according to the reverts you have made on Musicians Institute. Users who edit disruptively or refuse to collaborate with others may be blocked if they continue. In particular the three-revert rule states that making more than three reversions on a single page within a 24-hour period is almost always grounds for an immediate block. If you find yourself in an editing dispute, use the talk page to discuss controversial changes. Work towards wording and content that gains consensus among editors. If unsuccessful then do not edit war even if you believe you are right. Post a request for help at an appropriate noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases it may be appropriate to request temporary page protection. If edit warring continues, you may be blocked from editing without further notice.

You have been blocked from editing for a period of 48 hours for edit warring, as you did at Musicians Institute. During a dispute, you should first try to discuss controversial changes and seek consensus. If that proves unsuccessful you are encouraged to seek dispute resolution, and in some cases it may be appropriate to request page protection. Once the block has expired, you are welcome to make useful contributions. If you would like to be unblocked, you may appeal this block by adding below this notice the text {{unblock|Your reason here}}, but you should read the guide to appealing blocks first.

You have been blocked temporarily from editing for edit warring. During a dispute, you should first try to discuss controversial changes and seek consensus. If that proves unsuccessful you are encouraged to seek dispute resolution, and in some cases it may be appropriate to request page protection. Once the block has expired, you are welcome to make useful contributions. If you would like to be unblocked, you may appeal this block by adding below this notice the text {{unblock|Your reason here}}, but you should read the guide to appealing blocks first.

Indefinitely blocked

After two recent temporary blocks for edit-warring, you have returned immediately to Musicians Institute and resumed your edit war, breaching WP:3RR in the process. It appears that you have no intention on complying with our policies on edit-warring so you have been blocked, this time indefinitely. If you would like to be unblocked, you may appeal this block by adding below this notice the text {{unblock|Your reason here}}, but you should read the guide to appealing blocks first. --Mkativerata (talk) 19:43, 4 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

This user's unblock request has been reviewed by an administrator, who declined the request. Other administrators may also review this block, but should not override the decision without good reason (see the blocking policy).

Request reason:

Why is it the FACTS that I have put in the article mean absolutely nothing? The MI article has been edited back to an advertisement. EVERYTHING I put in the article is facts. Is this or is this not a fact-based publication? Or is it just ad space for businesses? Some potential students or their parents might use Wikipedia to help them research Musicians Institute. They should get useful, truthful information. NOT have useful, factual information taken down and an ad put in its place. The idea that I am blocked and not the person that keeps vandalizing the article is astounding.

Decline reason:

The idea that you are unable to comprehend Wikipedia's policies regarding consensus and edit warring is less astounding. But it is evident. --jpgordon^{::==( o )} 23:00, 4 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

If you want to make any further unblock requests, please read the guide to appealing blocks first, then use the {{unblock}} template again. If you make too many unconvincing or disruptive unblock requests, you may be prevented from editing this page until your block has expired. Do not remove this unblock review while you are blocked.
