Alumni lists
Thanks for your contributions on Lutheran West. Unfortunately, I've had to revert them now twice because the names fail to meet Wikipedia's standard of notability. Please make sure you read that, as well as the guidelines for school articles, found at WP:WPSCH/AG. The general rule of thumb for school articles is to only include people who have existing articles on Wikipedia. Even if you believe they meet the standard of notability, a school article is not the place to argue that; instead, you should look into creating an article about that person. Further, merely having a source available online does not make the person notable. For instance, the hockey player you added, according to the link provided, he never actually played a game for an NHL team, which is required for notability (see WP:NHOCKEY). The same is true for Ben Miller. While he may have been on the Browns roster, the link provided indicates he never played in a game, and WP:NGRIDIRON requires the person to "Have appeared in at least one regular season or post season game." For Mike Clum, while he's certainly successful, that doesn't necessarily mean he's notable. You would need to find several other third-party sources like news and magazine articles that talk about him specifically, filling the notability requirement of significant coverage. Simply linking to his company website does not satisfy notability. Again, though, the place to establish or argue notability isn't on a high school article. The point of alumni lists in school and community articles is to connect related Wikipedia articles, not to be a place for the school to highlight their accomplished alumni. Any questions, please ask! --JonRidinger (talk) 12:10, 6 September 2018 (UTC)


 * Further, after reviewing the sources, none of them mention that the respective person actually attended Lutheran West. —C.Fred (talk) 20:56, 6 September 2018 (UTC)

 * For help, take a look at the introduction.

Please do not add or change content, as you did at Viper (rapper), without citing a reliable source. Please review the guidelines at Citing sources and take this opportunity to add references to the article. Thank you.  Velella  Velella Talk 21:15, 15 September 2018 (UTC)

Please stop adding unsourced content, as you did on Viper (rapper). This violates Wikipedia's policy on verifiability. If you continue to do so, you may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.  Velella  Velella Talk 21:17, 15 September 2018 (UTC)

added references. thank you for your feedback. I will take your advice into due consideration.

You may be blocked from editing without further warning the next time you disrupt Wikipedia, as you did at Lutheran West. John from Idegon (talk) 19:15, 16 September 2018 (UTC)

You have been blocked from editing for a period of 48 hours for persistently adding unsourced or poorly sourced content, as you did at Lutheran West. Once the block has expired, you are welcome to make useful contributions. If you think there are good reasons for being unblocked, please read the guide to appealing blocks, then add the following text below the block notice on your talk page:. Continuing to add material that is unsupported by reliable sources, after warnings. A complaint about this article was filed at WP:RFPP. EdJohnston (talk) 20:18, 16 September 2018 (UTC)


 * Higher up on this talk page, we see three editors plus one anti-vandal bot noticing problems with your edits. Mostly, you were citing sources not considered by Wikipedia to be reliable sources, or were citing sources that failed to confirm the text you are adding, or mentioning no source at all. To be unblocked, you should address these problems. You should indicate to us how all three commenters plus the anti-vandal bot are mistaken. The bot noticed you adding a huge list of songs to Viper (rapper) while including no source for your changes. EdJohnston (talk) 21:55, 16 September 2018 (UTC)
 * After studying your latest edits, I have increased your block to indefinite. See WP:GAB for your appeal options. It seems unlikely that you are actually here to improve the encyclopedia. EdJohnston (talk) 23:06, 16 September 2018 (UTC)

Unblock requests and discussion

 * Clearly time has come to revoke TPA. John from Idegon (talk) 20:56, 21 September 2018 (UTC)

You have now four times posted unblock requests which do not address the reasons for the block. Doing so achieves nothing except for taking up time of administrators who could have spent the time on more useful work (such as reviewing unblock requests from editors who do address the reasons for their blocks.) I have therefore removed your talk page access. The administrator who reviews your latest unblock request will be free to restore talk page access if she or he decides that letting you post a fifth unblock request is likely to be helpful. The editor who uses the pseudonym "JamesBWatson" (talk) 09:36, 22 September 2018 (UTC)
 * Also now proven socking, both for block evasion and for purposes of deception prior to block. See user page for links to SPI. John from Idegon (talk) 16:16, 24 September 2018 (UTC)
