I am asking that I may be unblocked at this time. I was unaware of how to add references. Honestly, I am somewhat technologically challenged and often view Wikipedia on my mobile phone. It may be causing some problems as well. I'm glad to know that Wikipedia has this type of monitoring system as I prefer to see excellent references and resources. I am stickler for detail, especially with regards to history. I have no problems with Wikipedia policies and I just viewed a YouTube video to explain to me how to insert references.

Your block is not just for failure to add references. Also, and more importantly, you have engaged in an edit-war, which you have kept up since January, and you have persistently edited to promote a point of view, which you repeatedly assert to be objective fact. You will not be unblocked as long as you cannot or will not acknowledge the nature of your disruptive editing, as that implies that you are likely to do the same again.

I hear you and I understand your concern. It makes perfect sense. I have to say I was under the impression that Wikipedia was not so much of a reliable historian. Frankly, I had no idea that they were as many administrators is there appears to be. I would use other resources to substantiate my research. This is why I felt free to continue to edit. I feel terrible about this. I had no intentions of creating a war or any more work for anybody. frankly I'm very glad to know that Wikipedia is structured in such a way that there is I need for substantiation and perhaps even debate. I have to tell you that, this all began when I received an Alexa Echo for Christmas. For kicks I had asked Alexa, who founded the Catholic Church. It responded with two words: Jesus Christ. Later, when I was demonstrating how it works to a friend, I realized that the answer had changed to the statement that the Catholic Church teaches.....etc..... This is what prompted my first edit, as Alexa specifically referred to Wikipedia. That statement comes with an assumption that the fact regarding who is the founder of the Catholic church is subjective to the teacher. seriously, I had no intentions of creating this kind of War. I had no idea that I was even involving administrators in Wikipedia and creating extra work for you all. I feel really badly about that. You have my apologies. Since I received notification about this this morning I have looked further into Wikipedia's policies. I only have one concern. Do those at Wikipedia decide which references they will accept and they will not accept? For example, if I cited writings from individuals that were alive in the first century and references from individuals who are alive today and yet may not be Catholic, is it possible that Wikipedia would not accept them if it conflicts with a current statement? Perhaps I'm missing something and how Wikipedia discerns what may and may not be published. Again, if any additional comments and or references would create more of a war I will permanently decline graciously from editing Wikipedia looking ahead. My only intention and perhaps to a fault is being a stickler for detail and truth. Thank you for your time and information.

Many seasoned Wikipedia editors had a rocky start when they first found our project – often in circumstances very like yours. The key to contributing in a constructive, enjoyable way is to first understand our core editorial policies. You asked a number of questions in your appeal that suggest you have not done so, to say nothing of the edits that necessitated the warnings and block.

I am therefore denying your unblock request. Please do not make further requests; a fourth is unlikely to be successful where the first three weren't. Whilst you are blocked from editing, please make a more detailed reading of our editorial policies. I will post a reading list to the end of this page. AGK ■ 10:39, 27 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

to whom it may concern, I have not heard back and I feel that an unequivocal blocking is unjust. The assumption is that the information which I provided was not accurate. That assumption made is understandable since I did not add references. my question is how does Wikipedia discern which references are acceptable and what is objectively true? Would someone be so kind as to respond. I need to understand the caliber of information Wikipedia is providing. There were two points on that thread that are unequivocally not true. I had no idea I was creating what is called a war of editing. I also never received any notices until yesterday. there seems to be a war against the Catholic Church. If there's anything that a Catholic does well it is to provide documentation. Since Christmas of last year, online sites have been changing the truth about who founded the Catholic Church. Despite the evidence and fact and history, which is well substantiated, many refuse to accept the fact that it is not just a church teaching. If this is the reason I am being blocked because I insist upon the truth, and I am willing to provide sound substantiation, please let me know. Kindly respond. It is important for me to understand the caliber of information on Wikipedia and how exactly you arrive at that point. I found your words to be harsh and insulting and unnecessary. I had no intention to make any more work for anyone. I would merely like a response to this as well as my last message to you. Thank you Jen Winston

There is already an open unblock on this page. Further requests are not needed while one is still open. SQL^{Query me!} 18:22, 25 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
