Your recent editing history at Northeastern Oklahoma A&M College shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war. Being involved in an edit war can result in your being blocked from editing—especially if you violate the three-revert rule, which states that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Undoing another editor's work—whether in whole or in part, whether involving the same or different material each time—counts as a revert. Also keep in mind that while violating the three-revert rule often leads to a block, you can still be blocked for edit warring—even if you don't violate the three-revert rule—should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly.

To avoid being blocked, instead of reverting please consider using the article's talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. See BRD for how this is done. You can post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection.

As someone told you st the above-referenced article's talk page: Yes you can create a separate article about the school's football program. However, an exhaustive list of all their games played would not be appropriate content there either. The purpose of a Wikipedia article is to report on what others are saying about a given subject; not to present all the knowledge available on a subject. Further, no edit of this size will ever be added to a Wikipedia article or used as the basis for a new article without referencing. To paraphrase one of your edit summaries made while you were trying to edit-war this information into the article, We can come to an understanding about this. The understanding you need to come to is this: Unreferenced content like this doesn't belong on Wikipedia, no matter what the subject matter. Further, no matter how well you reference this, this particular subject matter does not belong here. You have no horse in this race. The information you are trying to add is not within policy and it is completely unreferenced. Even if you solved the referencing issue, it would still be out of policy.
You have some links above that lead to some places where you can learn a bit more about what Wikipedia is, and what it isn't. I will also leave you a link to a Q&A forum especially for new users. They specialize in explaining things to new editors like yourself in a non-technical, easy to understand way. Happy editing! If I can be of any assistence, please drop me a note on my talk page.

  Hello and welcome to Wikipedia. When you add content to talk pages and Wikipedia pages that have open discussion (but never when editing articles), please be sure to sign your posts. There are two ways to do this. Either:

  1. Add four tildes ( ~~~~ ) at the end of your comment; or
  2. With the cursor positioned at the end of your comment, click on the signature button (  or  ) located above the edit window.

This will automatically insert a signature with your username or IP address and the time you posted the comment. This information is necessary to allow other editors to easily see who wrote what and when.

Thank you. --SineBot (talk) 06:21, 14 November 2013 (UTC)Reply

Your draft article, User:Hammerb/sandbox

edit
 

Hello Hammerb. It has been over six months since you last edited your WP:AFC draft article submission, entitled "sandbox".

The page will shortly be deleted. If you plan on editing the page to address the issues raised when it was declined and resubmit it, simply edit the submission and remove the {{db-afc}} or {{db-g13}} code. Please note that Articles for Creation is not for indefinite hosting of material deemed unsuitable for the encyclopedia mainspace.

If your submission has already been deleted by the time you get there, and you want to retrieve it, copy this code: {{subst:Refund/G13|User:Hammerb/sandbox}}, paste it in the edit box at this link, click "Save page", and an administrator will in most cases undelete the submission.

Thanks for your submission to Wikipedia, and happy editing. JMHamo (talk) 20:28, 19 June 2014 (UTC)Reply
