October 2016
Your recent edit to List of people from Pawtucket, Rhode Island appears to have added the name of a non-notable entity to a list that normally includes only notable entries. In general, a person or organization 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. &mdash;  Rhododendrites talk  \\ 16:26, 4 October 2016 (UTC)
 * Please stop adding Samuel Matook to the list. I understand this may be an important person, but this list is only for people with Wikipedia articles about them. If Mr. Matook has received significant coverage in reliable sources like books, journal articles, magazines, newspapers, etc. (sources with a reputation for accuracy, written by people with no connection to Mr. Matook), then you may want to create an article about him. Following this edit I'll leave another message with some links to useful resources if you'd like to do that. If you repeatedly make the same edit to the page, however, the page will likely be locked and/or your ability to edit restricted. That's not a threat -- Wikipedia just has strict rules about "edit wars". &mdash;  Rhododendrites talk  \\ 20:23, 10 October 2016 (UTC)

You have been blocked indefinitely from editing for edit warring. If you think there are good reasons why you should be unblocked, you may appeal this block by first reading the guide to appealing blocks, then adding the following text to the bottom of your talk page:. 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. Ian.thomson (talk) 01:02, 13 October 2016 (UTC)
 * If you promise to not add Matook's name to the Pawtucket RI article again (and to communicate with other users in the future), you might very well be unblocked. The only reason I made your block indefinite is because you've refused to communicate or even acknowledge communication, and don't seem to have any other purpose but adding that name.
