Welcome to Wikipedia. If you are affiliated with some of the people, places or things you have written about on Wikipedia, you may have a conflict of interest. In keeping with Wikipedia's neutral point of view policy, edits where there is a conflict of interest, or where such a conflict might reasonably be inferred, are strongly discouraged. If you have a conflict of interest, you should avoid or exercise great caution when:
 * 1) editing or creating articles related to you, your organization, or its competitors, as well as projects and products they are involved with;
 * 2) participating in deletion discussions about articles related to your organization or its competitors; and
 * 3) linking to the Wikipedia article or website of your organization in other articles (see Spam).

Please familiarize yourself with relevant policies and guidelines, especially those pertaining to neutral point of view, verifiability of information, and autobiographies.

Feaster
This is a disambiguation page, listing related articles. I've raised some concerns at Wikipedia talk:Disambiguation. It should follow our guidelines at WP:DAB and MOS:DAB. The MOS (manual of style) page says " In brief, the pages should contain only disambiguation content". It's a dab page because it isn't just a surname page, it has a place on it. Even if it were a surname page, you'd still need links to articles. I don't think there's any chance of an article for the South Carolina John Feater, see WP:People. The 'notes' don't belong there at all, nor does the infobox. Your link to Vassy is to another dab page, we don't have an article on this surname, nor any evidence that Feaster is related to it.

November 2010
Welcome to Wikipedia. The recent edit you made to Feaster has been reverted, as it appears to be unconstructive. Use the sandbox for testing; if you believe the edit was constructive, ensure that you provide an informative edit summary. You may also wish to read the introduction to editing. Thank you. Alansohn (talk) 15:26, 24 November 2010 (UTC)

Please do not assume ownership of articles such as Feaster. If you aren't willing to allow your contributions to be edited extensively or be redistributed by others, please do not submit them. Thank you. Also, please see WP:COI, WP:BRD, WP:CITE, WP:NOT, WP:D, and WP:MOSDAB. -- JHunterJ (talk) 16:02, 24 November 2010 (UTC)

Please stop assuming ownership of articles such as Feaster. Doing so may lead to disruptive behavior such as edit wars and is a violation of policy, which may lead to your being blocked from editing Wikipedia. Please revert to the encyclopedic version. Wikipedia is also not a webhost. No one is disputing the truth of your additions, just their appropriateness to a general encyclopedia. -- JHunterJ (talk) 16:22, 24 November 2010 (UTC)

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war&#32; according to the reverts you have made on Feaster. Users who edit disruptively or refuse to collaborate with others may be blocked if they continue. In particular the three-revert rule states that making more than three reversions on a single page within a 24-hour period is almost always grounds for an immediate block. If you find yourself in an editing dispute, use the talk page to discuss controversial changes. Work towards wording and content that gains consensus among editors. If unsuccessful, then do not edit war even if you believe you are right. 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 edit warring continues, you may be blocked from editing without further notice. ''Please understand, if within 24 hours you replace the removed material again, or remove what anyone else has added, you will be blocked. In other words, you mustn't edit this article again for about 23 hours. '' Dougweller (talk) 17:15, 24 November 2010 (UTC)


 * consolidated from User talk:JHunterJ

Hi JHunterJ, Alright, I want to put as much info. as I can about the Feasters and you want to conform. Could We compromise? Can I start up a new page about the Feaster Family?

Sincerely, TFeaster
 * As much information as conforms to the five pillars (WP:PILLARS), yes, we can compromise. No, you probably can't set up a new page on Wikipedia about the Feaster family (WP:NOTDIRECTORY -- Wikipedia is not a genealogical reference) -- Feaster, an entry about the surname, is the appropriate place for the appropriate information. (You could set up a new page on a genealogy site about the Feaster family. http://boards.rootsweb.com/surnames.feaster/mb.ashx, for example.) The information on Wikipedia needs to be encyclopedic, which means notable and verifiable in reliable sources, not original research. -- JHunterJ (talk) 17:19, 24 November 2010 (UTC)

I wouldn't say that it's "Original Research", as you can see, the University of South Carolina is a source for much of the information. Also, I will add a book for one of the sources.


 * Please (a) stop reverting the article and (b) use the talk page to propose your changes. Understand that there may be elements of Wikipedia that your are still unfamiliar with. -- JHunterJ (talk) 01:20, 27 November 2010 (UTC)

You have been blocked from editing for a period of 24 hours for For a disruptive edits, ownership issues, and edit warring at Feaster. Once the block has expired, you are welcome to make useful contributions. If you would like to be unblocked, you may appeal this block by adding the text below this notice, but you should read the guide to appealing blocks first. JHunterJ (talk) 00:04, 30 November 2010 (UTC) Let's be clear, it's my family, I don't care about the "5 Pillars" or other stuff, I'm going to make my family history known when possible. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Tfeaster (talk • contribs) 00:37, 30 November 2010 (UTC)

You have been blocked from editing for a period of 1 week for Continued disruption and stated intention to ignore the pillars. Once the block has expired, you are welcome to make useful contributions. If you would like to be unblocked, you may appeal this block by adding the text below this notice, but you should read the guide to appealing blocks first. JHunterJ (talk) 02:16, 1 December 2010 (UTC)

I hope that you will reconsider the five pillars. After the week is up, please use the Talk:Feaster page to propose your changes. -- JHunterJ (talk) 02:16, 1 December 2010 (UTC)

Actually, I never explicitly stated and intent to "ignore the pillars", how you interpret that is your thing, and most certainly not my problem, maybe you should reconsider and learn the meaning of "stated intention", also, I know bypasses (how you interpret this is your opinion).

Wow, you actually blocked me indefinitely, all for some dispute over my family's page, don't you two (Dougweller and JHunterJ) have better stuff to do? Maybe get a wife or girlfriend. I'll just start up some new accounts and edit Feaster with those. (don't ever tell me about my family you J.O.s)

Original research
You really must read WP:NOR and WP:VERIFY before you start editing again. You may know your family, but we need reliable sources (also see WP:RS and these don't include House of Names, personal websites, etc. Please read the other guidelines and policies you've been asked to read. We welcome your input, but basically this is an encyclopedia built on what reliable sources (by our criteria) have to say about a subject that is notable (again by our criteria). We also have style guidelines, et. And read WP:COI again if you haven't read it yet. Dougweller (talk) 17:28, 24 November 2010 (UTC)

Alright, Let me make my own page about the Feaster Family.

December 2010
You have been blocked indefinitely from editing. You were originally blocked for a week. Your edits to make it appear that it was only a one day block strongly suggest that you are not here to contribute to the project. After discussion with the Admin who originally blocked you, I'm extending your block to indefinite. You can of course appeal.. If you would like to be unblocked, you may appeal this block by adding the text below this notice, but you should read the guide to appealing blocks first. Dougweller (talk) 20:50, 1 December 2010 (UTC)

You're not editing about your family, you're editing an article about a last name. When your family members become notable enough for inclusion on Wikipedia, somebody else will write about them using third party reliable sources. I'm not sure what the J.O. part is about - maybe you'd care to elaborate ( talk→  BWilkins   ←track ) 22:19, 2 December 2010 (UTC)
