Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. You appear to be repeatedly reverting or undoing other editors' contributions at Waubonsie Valley 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 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 lead to a loss of editing privileges.

Please understand what an encyclopedia is. It is not a place for the school to voice what it wants voiced. It is instead a summary of what other reliable sources independent of the school have said about it. You have an entirely incorrect idea of what Wikipedia is. it is not a place for the school to wrote about itself. Unless you can show that the world at large cares about it by showing that others have written about it, it does not belong here. John from Idegon (talk) 03:21, 10 October 2016 (UTC)

Managing a conflict of interest

Hello, 2602:306:CFA6:1850:CD8F:1BA1:76F4:4237. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places, or things you have written about in the article Waubonsie Valley High School, you may have a conflict of interest (COI). Editors with a COI may be unduly influenced by their connection to the topic, and it is important when editing Wikipedia articles that such connections be completely transparent. See the conflict of interest guideline and FAQ for organizations for more information. In particular, we ask that you please:

• avoid editing or creating articles related to you and your family, friends, school, company, club, or organization, as well as any competing companies' projects or products;
• instead, you are encouraged to propose changes on the Talk pages of affected article(s) (see the {{request edit}} template);
• when discussing affected articles, disclose your COI (see WP:DISCLOSE);
• avoid linking to the Wikipedia article or to the website of your organization in other articles (see WP:SPAM);
• exercise great caution so that you do not violate Wikipedia's content policies.

In addition, you must disclose your employer, client, and affiliation with respect to any contribution for which you receive, or expect to receive, compensation (see WP:PAID).

Please take a few moments to read and review Wikipedia's policies regarding conflicts of interest, especially those pertaining to neutral point of view, sourcing and autobiographies. Thank you. John from Idegon (talk) 03:52, 10 October 2016 (UTC)

You may be blocked from editing without further warning the next time you add unsourced material to Wikipedia, as you did at Waubonsie Valley High School. John from Idegon (talk) 04:02, 10 October 2016 (UTC)

Your recent editing history at Waubonsie Valley High School shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war. 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 article's 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 BRD 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 your 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 don't violate the three-revert rule—should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly.
Please cease edit warring. Discuss your edits on the article's talk page.

If you make one more revert, over this warning --- I will report you here, where you will likely face a block -- and the content you wish to add, will not be added. —MelbourneStar☆^talk 04:19, 10 October 2016 (UTC)

Reliable sources

The website of the school in question is not a reliable source. On Wikipedia we require independent secondary sources -- books, newspaper articles, etc. Please understand, that if you continue to edit war, without discussing your edits whatsoever on the talk page as has been asked of you, you will be reported to this noticeboard that deals with edit warring -- and that helps nobody out, but especially you. —MelbourneStar☆^talk 04:38, 10 October 2016 (UTC)

Anonymous users from this IP address have been blocked from editing for a period of 24 hours for edit warring. If you think there are good reasons why you should be unblocked, you may appeal this block by first reading the guide to appealing blocks, then adding the following text to the bottom of your talk page: {{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}}.

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.  — MusikAnimal ^talk 04:52, 10 October 2016 (UTC)
