Your recent edits

Hello. In case you didn't know, when you add content to talk pages and Wikipedia pages that have open discussion, you should sign your posts by typing four tildes ( ~~~~ ) at the end of your comment. You could also 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 useful because other editors will be able to tell who said what, and when they said it. Thank you. --SineBot (talk) 04:55, 29 September 2012 (UTC)

Mars Hill College

I saw you undid the text I entered for Mars Hill College. It is a true fact, not false. MHC is a private college.

Cited from both the Mars Hill College page and the Western North Carolina pages on Wikipedia.

From the MHC Wiki page: "Mars Hill College was founded in 1856, and it is the oldest college or university in western North Carolina. The college was originally named the French Broad Baptist Academy, after the nearby French Broad River."

From the WNC Wiki page: " Mars Hill College, affiliated with the North Carolina Baptist Convention, is located 15 miles (24 km) north of Asheville. Founded in 1856, it is the oldest college or university in western North Carolina.

I'm not sure exactly how to cite this, but since it is on two other Wikipedia pages, it is viable. I put a citation on the page coming from the Mars Hill College website. I'm not sure if it is in the correct format but I want to make certain this accurate information remains on the page. I can cite other websites if need be. I will be adding this again to the NC page. If there is a special note needed for this I would ask you to let me know. Thanks for your understanding.

Wikipedia cannot source itself. See WP:CIRCULAR. Also be careful not to edit war after you have been reverted several times. That's a policy violation. Cresix (talk) 14:23, 29 September 2012 (UTC)

Proper sourcing is necessary but not sufficient to keep the information in the article. Your edits have been challenged. Your next step if you wish to restore the information is to discuss on the article's talk page and wait for consensus. Cresix (talk) 16:36, 29 September 2012 (UTC)

September 2012

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war according to the reverts you have made on North Carolina. Users are expected to collaborate with others, to avoid editing disruptively, and to try to reach a consensus rather than repeatedly undoing other users' edits once it is known that there is a disagreement.

Please be particularly aware, Wikipedia's policy on edit warring states:

1. Edit warring is disruptive regardless of how many reverts you have made; that is to say, editors are not automatically "entitled" to three reverts.
2. Do not edit war even if you believe you are right.

If you find yourself in an editing dispute, use the article's talk page to discuss controversial changes; work towards a version that represents consensus among editors. You can 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 you engage in an edit war, you may be blocked from editing. Cresix (talk) 17:12, 29 September 2012 (UTC)

Administrators do not "give permission" to make edits. The admin only told you that the citation was done properly. Admins cannot override the consensus process. You have already been told to get consensus on the article's talk page because your edit has been challenged. If you continue to revert without consensus you can be blocked from editing. Click all blue links above and read the policies. Cresix (talk) 17:14, 29 September 2012 (UTC)
