You have been blocked from editing for to prevent further disruption caused by your engagement in an edit war. 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. If you believe this block is unjustified, you may contest the block by adding the text below.

It does look as you copy/pasted unreferenced material at that article. Please do explain your reasoning instead of boldly reverting the edits.

 * The inserted information was poorly formatted, but this could be quickly fixed. The problem was absence of references to reliable sources. Such unreferenced additions may be removed on the spot, especially for sensitive topics. Please do provide in-line references to information which you bring to wikipedia.

One more note, it appears that this address belongs to user:Hyquest. Please avoid reverting other editors using more than one account. Materialscientist (talk) 09:48, 28 January 2010 (UTC)

You observation is incorrect. Hyquest is the owner of the company. I am on the board.

The conflict started when the owner was trying to add the original content that was deleted with the proper references. The administrator kept reverting the information while the user was editing. I know all this was happining because she communicated this to me. So how is it that referenced can be added when content and new references keep being deleted. We were not even given time to resolve the issue.

 * Any saved edits of mainframe wikipedia articles become immediately visible to the world and shortly picked up by other internet sites. For this reason, it is advised to prepare the information on a local computer or on a temporal page, such as sandbox or personal wikipedia userpages. Materialscientist (talk) 10:08, 28 January 2010 (UTC)

So any changes should be created in the sandbox first and then added to the site. We should also make sure that all the formatting in correct before they will be accepted. I wish the last administrator would have made mention of this instead of just calling them tests. I feel that the administrator did a poor job of communicating the problem. We will abide by that in the future. 174.18.20.181 (talk) 03:15, 28 January 2010 (UTC)
 * An important step was missing - when your edits were reverted by a wikipedia editor, with a provided edit summary, it was expected that you contact the editor at their talk page and discuss the changes instead of reverting them. The general WP:AGF wikipedia policy, in this case, means that there was something wrong with your edits, which would be kindly explained upon request.

Ok so basicaly I was doing it all wrong. Ok got it. I will try to brush up on my skills. I will also explain the situation to user Hyquest. Thank you for your help. 174.18.20.181 (talk) 03:27, 28 January 2010 (UTC)
