Hello, I'm Notfrompedro. I wanted to let you know that one or more of your recent contributions&#32;to Ooltewah High School have been undone because they did not appear constructive. If you would like to experiment, please use your sandbox. If you have any questions, you can ask for assistance at the Teahouse. Thanks. Notfrompedro (talk) 15:35, 2 September 2021 (UTC)

Your recent editing history at Ooltewah High School shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war; that means that you are repeatedly changing content back to how you think it should be, when you have seen that other editors disagree. 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 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 the bold, revert, discuss cycle 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 you 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 do not violate the three-revert rule&mdash;should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly. - Arjayay (talk) 16:06, 2 September 2021 (UTC)

Hello, BigRedMachine55. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about on the page Ooltewah High School, you may have a conflict of interest (COI). Editors with a conflict of interest may be unduly influenced by their connection to the topic. See the conflict of interest guideline and FAQ for organizations for more information. We ask that you:


 * avoid editing or creating articles about yourself, your family, friends, colleagues, company, organization or competitors;
 * propose changes on the talk pages of affected articles (you can use the request edit template);
 * disclose your conflict of interest when discussing affected articles (see Conflict of interest);
 * avoid linking to your organization's website in other articles (see Spam);
 * do your best to comply with Wikipedia's content policies.

In addition, you are required by the Wikimedia Foundation's terms of use to disclose your employer, client, and affiliation with respect to any contribution which forms all or part of work for which you receive, or expect to receive, compensation. See Paid-contribution disclosure.

Also, editing for the purpose of advertising, publicising, or promoting anyone or anything is not permitted. Thank you. –Skywatcher68 (talk) 18:07, 2 September 2021 (UTC)

'''I understand what you're saying about this being a conflict of interest. However, I do not find this being a constructive part of the information about the school. It is also very traumatic for those involved, especially having to be reminded of it if they or others go online and see it here. Personally, I do not see what something that happened 6-7 years ago has to do with information about the school. If that is the case, then every school in the country should have the negative information posted about them, no matter how far back it happened. I'm sorry to vent guys, it just bothers me that these kids have to relive this. My apologies on editing the information, but is there anything that can be done?


 * You can use the article's talk page to request input from disinterested third parties and obtain consensus regarding that section, bearing in mind that Wikipedia is not censored and not liking content is generally not a valid reason for removal. –Skywatcher68 (talk) 20:35, 2 September 2021 (UTC)
