Welcome! {{helpme}} According to wikipedia's own policies, a biographical article on a living person must have AT LEAST ONE SOURCE directly supporting it. I have put up many sources directly supporting this subject. But the message at the top of the article put up by MBK004 states that it is not sourced. That's incorrect. Everything in the article is totally accurate and this subject is all over Google.com. This can be easily checked. MBK004 blocked me arbitrarily saying I was being "Disruptive". He/She was the one being disruptive and unprofessional. Whoever that is ought to be made aware of an apparent bias of some sort. Others are now joining with me in contributing to this article and if it's deleted they will put it up again and continue to do so.

{{helpme}} MBK004 is warring with me about editing the article "John W. Flores". Whomever this is appears to have some sort of an attitude regarding this subject. This is a Mexican-American writer of significance and the article has been well-sourced. However, MBK004 continually puts up a message stating it is not correctly sourced, and has multiple problems. Mexican-Americans today encounter racism all the time and I think this editor is racist. This article seems fine. Perhaps someone can counsel MBK004 about his/her own disruptive/racist attitude regarding this important writer. Who has received many awards for writing about another important Mexican-American. We don't all work in the fields guys.

{{helpme}} Thank you for previous assistance on creation of my article recently. I have attempted to link this article as it was designated an "orphan." Have tried to follow guidelines listed on Wikipedia for linking to other Wikipedia sites directly related to my article. But am not sure if I correctly attempted this. Could you assist one more time? The article is titled "John W. Flores" and please let me know what else I should do to the article so it conforms with Wikipedia guidelines.

Proposed deletion of John W. Flores

edit
 

The article John W. Flores has been proposed for deletion because under Wikipedia policy, all biographies of living persons created after March 18, 2010, must have at least one source that directly supports material in the article.

If you created the article, please don't take offense. Instead, consider improving the article. For help on inserting references, see Wikipedia:Referencing for beginners or ask at Wikipedia:Help desk. Once you have provided at least one reliable source, you may remove the {{prod blp}} tag. Please do not remove the tag unless the article is sourced. If you cannot provide such a source within ten days, the article may be deleted, but you can request that it be undeleted when you are ready to add one.

  Welcome to Wikipedia. It might not have been your intention, but your recent edit removed maintenance templates from John W. Flores. When removing maintenance templates, please be sure to either resolve the problem that the template refers to, or give a valid reason for the removal in the edit summary. If this was a mistake, don't worry, as your removal of this template has been reverted. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia, and if you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. Thank you. -MBK004 05:35, 5 November 2010 (UTC)Reply

Even if you think you have completed the issues, DO NOT REMOVE ALL the tags unless another user has concurred with your assessment. There are still many problems with the article. -MBK004 05:37, 5 November 2010 (UTC)Reply

  Please stop. Continuing to remove maintenance templates from pages on Wikipedia, as you did to John W. Flores, without resolving the problem that the template refers to may be considered vandalism. Further edits of this type may result in your being blocked from editing Wikipedia. IT IS UNACCEPTABLE TO CONTINUE THIS BEHAVIOR -MBK004 06:22, 5 November 2010 (UTC)Reply

  This is your last warning; the next time you remove the maintenance templates from Wikipedia articles without resolving the problem that the template refers to, as you did at John W. Flores, you may be blocked from editing without further notice. You have continued to remove all tags even though the majority are still relevant. -MBK004 06:41, 5 November 2010 (UTC)Reply

 
You have been blocked from editing for a period of 24 hours for continued disruptive removal of maintenance templates after repeated warnings, as you did at John W. Flores. 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 below this notice the text {{unblock|Your reason here}}, but you should read the guide to appealing blocks first. -MBK004 07:13, 5 November 2010 (UTC)Reply
