Hello, I'm Gab4gab. I noticed that you added or changed content in an article, Oak Grove High School (Hattiesburg, Mississippi), 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. You can have a look at the tutorial on citing sources. If you think I made a mistake, you can leave me a message on my talk page. In addition it's not appropriate to list each athletic event the school participates in.

Please stop your disruptive editing. If you continue to add unsourced or poorly sourced content, as you did at Oak Grove High School (Hattiesburg, Mississippi), you may be blocked from editing. ''Stop adding this. It is unsourced, not neutral, and not encyclopedic. And please read WP:BRD and WP:EW'' Meters (talk) 22:55, 10 December 2020 (UTC)

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war&#32; according to the reverts you have made on Oak Grove High School (Hattiesburg, Mississippi); that means that you are repeatedly changing content back to how you think it should be, when you have seen that other editors disagree. Users are expected to collaborate with others, to avoid editing disruptively, and to try to reach a consensus, rather than repeatedly undoing other users' edits once it is known that there is a disagreement.

Points to note: If you find yourself in an editing dispute, use the article's talk page to discuss controversial changes and work towards a version that represents consensus among editors. You can post a request for help at an appropriate noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, it may be appropriate to request temporary page protection. If you engage in an edit war, you may be blocked from editing. Formal EW warning since you apparently ignored the informal one earlier. Meters (talk) 00:08, 12 December 2020 (UTC)
 * 1) Edit warring is disruptive regardless of how many reverts you have made;
 * 2) Do not edit war even if you believe you are right.

You may be blocked from editing without further warning the next time you add unsourced material to Wikipedia, as you did at Oak Grove High School (Hattiesburg, Mississippi). Still unsourced and not encyclopedic. Meters (talk) 00:07, 12 December 2020 (UTC)

Why is the state game edit still there then even though it’s not sourced. STOP TAKING MINE DOWN YOU PROBABLY DONT EVEN GO TO OAK GROVE Gregarious musclethrower (talk) 01:21, 13 December 2020 (UTC)


 * Whether I go to the school or not is irrelevant. The difference is that the claim of a state title in football is worth mentioning, and is written neutrally. I didn't add the claim, but I I have now added a reliable source for it. You, on the other hand, have made the same unsourced addition of non-encyclopedic puffed up information five times. That the school has held its first cross country meet is not encyclopedic, and "This signified something significant and brought the team closer to the recognition of the school." is plain puffery. You have been reported for a block since you ignored the warnings about adding unsourced non-encyclopedic material, and for edit warring. Meters (talk) 04:46, 13 December 2020 (UTC)

Based on your reply you sound like you have intimate knowledge to the the definition of puffery. Gregarious musclethrower (talk) 19:13, 13 December 2020 (UTC)
 * Gregarious musclethrower, I strongly suggest you drop the attitude. The whole point in giving you a short block was to get you to slow down and discuss your changes, and maybe take some time to read up on why you've been reverted and ask questions.  Being hostile is only going to get your block extended, likely to indefinite for being not here to build an encyclopedia. I'd rather not do that to you, but I need to see you be sincere in wanting to improve an article and drop the hostility.  Red Phoenix  talk  19:50, 13 December 2020 (UTC)

 You have been blocked from editing for a period of 31 hours for edit warring, as you did at Oak Grove High School (Hattiesburg, Mississippi). Once the block has expired, you are welcome to make useful contributions. During a dispute, you should first try to discuss controversial changes and seek consensus. If that proves unsuccessful, you are encouraged to seek dispute resolution, and in some cases it may be appropriate to request page protection. 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:.
