You have been blocked indefinitely from editing for abuse of editing privileges. 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:.

 * 1) You refer to "another user who kept undoing the correct information I was putting out there" (my emphasis) but this account has never made more than one edit to any article, there is no other editor who has ever reverted more than one edit by this account, and this account has only ever made two edits to articles. That must mean that you have made other edits using one or more other accounts.
 * 2) Whether or not all the accounts involved were operated by the same person, they have been used collectively to edit-war. Edit-warring is contrary to Wikipedia policy, and using several accounts to do it is also contrary to policy, whether those accounts are operated by one person or by different people working in collaboration.
 * 3) It is really odd how, when two or more editors in the same family are wrongly blocked for sockpuppetry, the one who informs us of the mistake is almost always the older sibling of a younger brother. Very occasionally we read the other editor was sister, husband, son, or cousin, or even a brother not stated to be younger, but for some reason these occasions are enormously outnumbered by cases where it was a younger brother. I am intrigued to know why the editors requesting to be unblocked always tell us that the brother was younger: it is not at all clear to me why anyone would think that is relevant, and I don't remember ever, even once being told whether a sister or cousin was younger, older, or the same age, but for some reason if the "other" editor was a brother, the younger status is virtually always specified.
