  Hello, I'm Wham2001. I noticed that you made an edit concerning content related to a living (or recently deceased) person on Southeast Missouri State University, but you didn't support your changes with a citation to a reliable source. It's been removed and archived in the page history for now. Wikipedia has a very strict policy concerning how we write about living people, so please help us keep such articles accurate and clear. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. You cannot include material of this nature in a Wikipedia article without multiple, highly reliable sources; see the Wikipedia policy on writing about living people.

The Arrow, the source which I cited, is the student newspaper on the campus of Southeast Missouri State University. I am a current student at Southeast Missouri State University. Capt.Vladi91 (talk) 15:34, 7 October 2024 (UTC)Reply

Don't revert other editors without explaining your actions on the talk page. Behavior like that can get you blocked. -- Melchior2006 (talk) 15:46, 7 October 2024 (UTC)Reply

First of all, you did not need to respond back in the nasty way you did. Second, The Arrow, the source I cited, is the student run newspaper on the campus of Southeast Missouri State University, a more than credible source. Capt.Vladi91 (talk) 15:49, 7 October 2024 (UTC)Reply

Request reason:

Your reason here The specific source in question, The Arrow, is not only a highly credible publication but also a nationally recognized university newspaper associated with Southeast Missouri State University. It adheres to rigorous journalistic standards and provides accurate, well-researched content. As such, I believe the edits I made, which referenced The Arrow, were based on a reliable and authoritative source. There seems to be no valid reason for this to be considered a violation of Wikipedia’s policies on reliable sourcing. While I fully understand and support Wikipedia’s strict guidelines on verifiability and the use of credible sources, I feel that the ban in this instance may have been imposed prematurely or without a full assessment of the source's credibility. The Arrow meets the standards of reliability, and I am confident that the information I added was accurate and within Wikipedia's content guidelines. I kindly request that my case be re-evaluated, as I have always aimed to contribute constructively to Wikipedia's mission of providing free, accurate information to the public. I am more than willing to engage in further discussion or provide additional context regarding my use of The Arrow as a reference. This is my appeal Capt.Vladi91 (talk) 16:23, 7 October 2024 (UTC)Reply

You were blocked for edit warring over an unsourced rumor. ScottishFinnishRadish (talk) 16:27, 7 October 2024 (UTC)Reply
Ok. It's common knowledge that the reason why Dr. Vargas's contract was not renewed is because of the rumor. Ask anyone. If this block is a result of the rumor, the punishment is a bit harsh for a first-time offence. There is no reason a block should be issued on the first offence. A brief message is perfect. The messages I received did not mention that what I did was not allowed. How should I know I did something wrong if I did not know? Capt.Vladi91 (talk) 16:34, 7 October 2024 (UTC)Reply
That is exactly what is covered in the first message on your talk page. ScottishFinnishRadish (talk) 16:43, 7 October 2024 (UTC)Reply
