Regarding the block.
Your contributions would most certainly have been reverted in that case. "Josh has also developed quite the resume in the dramatic arts as an actor, writer & director" has no place here regardless of who adds it, particularly when cited with a source that fails WP:RS. Throw in WP:COI as well and you start to see the problems that lead to your block. --Yamla (talk) 12:21, 21 December 2018 (UTC)


 * Regarding your first edit, you are correct that it isn't unambiguously promotional. I suspect that's why you were only blocked temporarily, rather than indefinitely as is common for accounts that appear to be here solely for promotional reasons. I do agree with the decision to revert it, as it seems to be a classic case of WP:ALMAMATER. But that's just my opinion.
 * By the way, creating multiple unblock requests that don't seriously address the reason for the block is a good way to get your block extended and/or lose talk page access. You are welcome to comment here without using the unblock template. -- Scott (talk) 10:21, 22 December 2018 (UTC)

Scott, I haven't 'seriously addressed' the block because to be honest with you; I don't take the block seriously (which, no doubt you've guessed). I think that it was performed by some punk kid sitting in their bedroom in their underwear because they're on a power trip for being named 'wikipedia moderator'. The fact that the original blocker hasn't come back to justify themselves is very telling, I feel. But, for the sake of argument, if we agree to disagree for a minute that I'm blatantly self-promoting, are you suggesting that my words or experience lacks truth? You already passive-aggressively called me 'unimportant' through the alma:mater link you posted. So let's be real, what would it take to get that information on the page verified & permanent? If you can't answer that, than you're unimportant.
 * Your block has now expired. I urge you to read WP:NPA because any more like this and you'll end up blocked again. --Yamla (talk) 11:40, 23 December 2018 (UTC)
 * To add that information to the page you would need to:
 * Explain its pertinence to the article subject. How does the information improve a reader's understanding of the school? Every school has at least some students go on to career success; why give this much weight to an alum who doesn't meet the notability guidelines for their own article?
 * Provide reliable, secondary sources for the information. The two award sites you linked aren't sufficient by themselves, and IMDB is not an appropriate source.
 * Since you have a conflict of interest, make an edit request on the article talk page asking someone else to add the information.

Thank you Scott, this is the information I was after from the get go. I have been talking to other alums in my down time, and we're all in agreement that more names belong on that list (not just mine, but Amy Wells & Jacqueline Hine also were a general consensus). It's in my opinion that the alums list on wikipedia is incomplete, the campus co-ordinator (whom may/or may not have been the author of the original article, I honesty don't know) is recently deceased, so there's a possibly they had more to say. My only issue with the links I provided, which were links from the official award sites; how would any secondary site prove more pertinent? Merry Christmas Scott.

Yalma. Personal attacks? I haven't given anymore than I've received. Who moderates this page; https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hypocrisy
