Hello. Your recent edit to Cave Spring High School (Roanoke, Virginia) appears to have added the name of a non-notable entity to a list that normally includes only notable entries. In general, a person, organization or product added to a list should have a pre-existing article before being added to most lists. If you wish to create such an article, please first confirm that the subject qualifies for a separate, stand-alone article according to Wikipedia's notability guideline. Thank you.

Please stop your disruptive editing. If you continue to disrupt Wikipedia, as you did at Cave Spring High School (Roanoke, Virginia), you may be blocked from editing. ''Please stop. You cannot add whatever you want here. This isn't Facebook or a blog. The requirement to be in a notable alumni list are two-fold. First, the individual must either have a biography on Wikipedia already or unambiguously qualify to have one. Simply being a reporter, even for a very important newspaper like the Wall Street Journal, does not unambiguously qualify a person for a biography. A journalist who had won a Pulitzer is unambiguously notable. Without that, they must qualify to have a biography by meeting WP:GNG. One reference from their employer does not in any way show that. Additionally, any entry in a notable alumni list must have a reliable source reference showing their attendance at the school, either in their biography or at the notable alumni list. The ONLY way to show this person qualifies to be in the notable alumni list is to write their biography first.
 * If you are engaged in an article content dispute with another editor, discuss the matter with the editor at their talk page, or the article's talk page, and seek consensus with them. Alternatively you can read Wikipedia's dispute resolution page, and ask for independent help at one of the relevant notice boards.
 * If you are engaged in any other form of dispute that is not covered on the dispute resolution page, seek assistance at Wikipedia's Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents.

Your actions seem to indicate you feel you have some sort of right to add what you want here. You don't. Everyone is welcome to contribute, but your contributions must conform to our policies and guidelines. If you need clarification or assistance, use the link you've been provided to the Teahouse and ask for help. Continuing on the path you are on is only going to lead to suspension or revocation of your editing ability.''

At the end of each message you will see a signature left by the editor posting. This is done by signing with four tildes ( ~ ) or by pressing or  in the editing interface toolbox, located just above the editing window (when editing). You won't need to sign your contributions to articles themselves; you only need to when using talk pages. If you have any questions or face any initial hurdles, feel free to contact me on my talk page and I will do what I can to assist or give you guidance.

Welcome to Wikipedia. Because we have a policy against usernames which give the impression that the account represents a group, organization or website, I have blocked this account; please take a moment to create a new account with a username that represents only yourself as an individual and which complies with our username policy or request a change of username. You should also read our conflict of interest guideline and be aware that promotional editing is not acceptable regardless of the username you choose. If your username does not represent a group, organization or website, you may appeal this username block by adding the text at the bottom of your talk page. You may simply create a new account, but you may prefer to change your username to one that complies with our username policy, so that your past contributions are associated with your new username. If you would prefer to change your username, you may appeal this username block by adding the text at the bottom of your talk page. Please note that you may only request a name that is not already in use, so please check here for a listing of already taken names. Thank you. 331dot (talk) 19:32, 31 March 2018 (UTC)
