Welcome

Hello and welcome to Wikipedia! We appreciate encyclopedic contributions, but some of your recent edits, such as the ones to the page Midland Park High School, do not conform to our policies. For more information on this, see Wikipedia's policies on vandalism and limits on acceptable additions. If you'd like to experiment with the wiki's syntax, please do so in the "sandbox" rather than in articles.

If you still have questions, there is a new contributor's help page, or you can write   below this message along with a question and someone will be along to answer it shortly. You may also find the following pages useful for a general introduction to Wikipedia. I hope you enjoy editing and being a Wikipedian!

The recent edit you made to Midland Park High School has been reverted, as it introduced unsourced or poorly sourced negative or controversial biographical material. Please do not continue to add such information. Thank you. NellieBly (talk) 01:01, 20 March 2011 (UTC)

Please do not vandalize pages, as you did with this edit to Midland Park High School. If you continue to do so, you will be blocked from editing. Carmichael95 [TALK] | [CONTRIBS] 01:05, 20 March 2011 (UTC)
 * Your edit was somewhat negative towards the decision that was made by the school. If you are going to write that, it needs to be sourced. Please feel free to let me know if you have any questions...I will be more than happy to help out. Carmichael95 [TALK] | [CONTRIBS] 01:14, 20 March 2011 (UTC)

Welcome to Wikipedia. Everyone is welcome to make constructive contributions to Wikipedia, but at least one of your recent edits, such as the one you made to Midland Park High School, did not appear to be constructive and has been automatically reverted (undone) by ClueBot NG.
 * Please use the sandbox for any test edits you would like to make, and take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. Note that human editors do monitor recent changes to Wikipedia articles, and administrators have the ability to block users from editing if they repeatedly engage in vandalism.
 * ClueBot NG produces very few false positives, but it does happen. If you believe the change you made should not have been detected as unconstructive, please read about it, [ report it here], remove this warning from your talk page, and then make the edit again.
 * The following is the log entry regarding this warning: Midland Park High School was changed by IntellectualPie (u) (t) ANN scored at 0.899575 on 2011-03-20T01:35:20+00:00 . Thank you. ClueBot NG (talk) 01:35, 20 March 2011 (UTC)

This is your last warning. You will be blocked from editing the next time you vandalize a page, as you did with this edit to Midland Park High School. &mdash; Coffee //  have a cup  //  essay  // 02:21, 20 March 2011 (UTC) You have been indefinitely blocked from editing for Vandalism. If you feel this block is unjustified, you may contest it by adding the text below. &mdash; Coffee //  have a cup  //  essay  // 02:28, 20 March 2011 (UTC)

I understand the point you make about my edit, yet I do not see justification for an indefinite block. I would like this to be considered thoroughly. My edit to Midland Park High School was not malicious or nonsensical, but only was not sourced properly. As such, I would like my ban to be removed with the understanding that I will source my edits correctly in the future. Thank you for your consideration, User:IntellectualPie


 * Oh, you went beyond "not properly sourced"; it appears you added a link already in the article to simulate a citation. Most deceptive.   Tide  rolls  21:05, 20 March 2011 (UTC)

Understood, but I do not see how this warrants an indefinite block. That move seems analogous to a life sentence for shoplifting. Especially being that Midland Park High School was the only page I "vandalized". Do you see my point? Thanks, User:IntellectualPie
 * It's not analogous with a life sentence for shoplifting... it's like being banned permanently from the store for shoplifting 4 times, and not heeding any warnings. &mdash; Coffee //  have a cup  //  essay  // 21:28, 20 March 2011 (UTC)

Okay, but what about all of the other "stores"? Have I stolen from there as well? May I not enter any of them, because of my experience at one? Your punishment seems a bit unreasonable. User:IntellectualPie

That sounds fine.User:IntellectualPie
 * Tell ya what I'm willing to do. Providing User:Coffee is agreeable, I would volunteer to watch over your edits if you would agree to some restrictions.  They will be strict as I have a job and cannot monitor this site during a significant portion of the day.  If you want me to set out the restrictions I will approach Coffee about the idea.   Tide  rolls  00:06, 21 March 2011 (UTC)


 * I've left Coffee a message. If they think this is a good idea I will set out the restrictions.  I don't know how long this will take so this will be your first hurdle. Patience.   Tide  rolls  00:23, 21 March 2011 (UTC)

Your (possible) unblock
I've received Coffee's permission to begin an unblock process. I will outline the restrictions I believe necessary soon so that you may comment. It will be tonight (US time), though, before I have time to spare.  Tide  rolls  11:53, 25 March 2011 (UTC)


 * Before you were blocked several editors left you messages containing links to various guidelines and policies that this project uses to provide an encouraging environment for those users that wish to be constructive. (Not to be patronizing, but "blue" text is clickable and will open the page that is in the link)  I want to make clear that if you had followed those links and stopped to discuss any questions or concerns regarding Wikipedia's conventions and processes, most of your difficulties could have been avoided.  I would advise you to actually read Wikipedia's five pillars that were linked in the welcome message above.  The fourth pillar contains a reference to the concept of consensus.  With so many diverse individuals and ideas there is a requirement for a process to keep chaos and disorganization to a minimum.  This process is discussion.


 * If you read the Five pillars and wish to continue I would like to hear any ideas regarding how you plan to help out here. If you have specific edits in mind, please include them.  If your ideas are more general in nature we can work with that as well.  I hope you decide to make the effort because we always need the help of conscientious volunteers.  I'll watch this page for any questions you may have.  Regards   Tide  rolls  00:20, 26 March 2011 (UTC)


 * Hello sir.

Angelina Jolie's page: reference 16 on her page says nothing about a 72 hour admission to a psychiatric ward, therefore, this part of the page needs a new citation. IntellectualPie (talk) 02:08, 27 July 2021 (UTC)
