Welcome!

Hello, Bama720, and welcome to Wikipedia! I have noticed that you are fairly new! I hope you like the place and decide to stay. I also see that some of your recent edits, such as the ones to the page Jacksonville State University, show an interest in the use of images and/or photos on Wikipedia.

Did you know that ...
 * ...wikipedia has a very stringent image use policy?
 * ...most images from Flickr, online news websites, and other web sources are copyrighted?
 * ...wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously?
 * ...freely-licensed images should be uploaded to Wikimedia Commons, a central location for images where they can be used on all Wikipedia projects?
 * ...we recommend that new users use our "files for upload" process - at least until you get the hang of things?

Disambiguation link notification for July 9
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Jacksonville State University, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Kappa Alpha. Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ* Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Hello, I'm Corkythehornetfan. I noticed that you made a change to an article, Jacksonville State University, but you didn't provide a reliable source. It's been removed and archived in the page history for now, but if you'd like to include a citation and re-add it, please do so! If you need guidance on referencing, please see the referencing for beginners tutorial, or if you think I made a mistake, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you.

Jacksonville State University
Hello. Please do not add information that you copied and pasted from a website. (See WP:COPYPASTE for more information.) I edited the Campus section and added references. I am letting you know because I looked in the History as to had done it. If it happens more, and people warn you about it, then you have the chance of being blocked. Just an FYI.

Sigma Phi Epsilon
Hello. Please stop re-adding the information about Sigma Phi Epsilon and Jacksonville State University. In order for that information to be included in the article, you need to find reliable sources. The one source you have added is a vaguely worded apology letter which doesn't actually explain very much at all. Wikipedia isn't a place to share information you happen to know to be true, as that is original research. You must find reliable sources so that the information is verifiable. In addition, repeatedly adding info without using an edit summary is a form of edit warring, which can lead to being banned. If you would like to discuss this further, the place to do it is the article's talk page Talk:Sigma Phi Epsilon. Thanks. Grayfell (talk) 03:41, 27 May 2015 (UTC)

Your recent editing history at Sigma Phi Epsilon 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 get 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&mdash;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&mdash;even if you don't violate the three-revert rule&mdash;should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly.

You may be blocked from editing without further warning the next time you add unsourced material to Wikipedia, as you did at Sigma Phi Epsilon. ''The source you have cited only supports that the chapter apologized for use of racist language. It does not support the remainder of your addition.'' —C.Fred (talk) 00:54, 29 May 2015 (UTC)

Blocked
You have been blocked from editing for a period of 31 hours for persistent addition of material not supported by a reliable source. Once the block has expired, you are welcome to make useful contributions. 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 below this notice:. —C.Fred (talk) 02:07, 29 May 2015 (UTC)

ArbCom elections are now open!
Hi, You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.
