Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. This is a message letting you know that one or more of your recent edits to Caleb has been undone by an automated computer program called ClueBot NG.

Welcome to Wikipedia. I have noticed that some of your recent
genre changes have conflicted with our
neutral point of view and
verifiability policies. While we invite all users to contribute constructively to Wikipedia, we urge all editors to provide
reliable sources for edits made. When others disagree, we recommend you seek
consensus for certain edits by discussing the matter on the article's talk page. Thank you.

Please stop adding
unsourced content, as you did to
Manic Drive. This contravenes Wikipedia's policy on
verifiability. If you continue to do so, you may be
blocked from editing Wikipedia.
Please discuss your changes on the article's talk page, instead of just restoring your edits when other editors revert them. Thank you. bonadea contributions talk 18:23, 17 September 2015 (UTC)

This is your final warning. You may be blocked from editing without further notice the next time you vandalize a page, as you did with
this edit to

On Urban Meyer, you removed a citation and added information that did not have a citation. Please don't do that without giving a very good reason in your wp:edit summary. Please read wp:verifiability. Verifiability is a cornerstone of Wikipedia. Always wp:cite wp:reliable sources (RS) when adding significant information (such as where someone lives). Be especailly careful with wp:biographies of living persons (BLP). Please read wp:The five pillars of Wikipedia which is basis of Wikipedia. When someone leave you a warning message such as those above, please read them and click on the links for more information. That should (not always!) let you know why and what to do.

It appears that your behavior is out of control and that you're not here to contribute to this project in accordance with our editorial and behavioral standards. Your edits have ranged from genre warring to unsourced and biased editing and have not contributed positively to articles. When reverted, you've responded with egregious personal attacks, accusations of bad faith, and harassment. Furthermore, you've used Wikipedia as a soapbox for your religious beliefs. While you've "apologized", your most recent personal attack came immediately after you apologized for a prior personal attack. This indicates that despite your "sincere" apologies you cannot be trusted to edit collaboratively and without making personal attacks when disputes arise. You've indicated that you will continue to harass a user until they accept your apology, [1] and then you attempted to report him as a vandal for ignoring your apologies. [2] All you've done so far is disrupt the project. You have contributed nothing positive and I can find no indication that you are willing or able to do so. This behavior is not welcome here. If you want to edit Wikipedia, you need to read and become familiar with all of the content policies and behavioral policies. If and when you have done that, you may appeal this block after reading the guide to appealing blocks. Swarm ♠ 21:44, 17 September 2015 (UTC)

This could be the shortest (and easiest) mentorship in the history of Wikipedia. I came to your talk page to inform you that I have agreed to be your mentor, but you seem to have dug yourself a grave.
Blocking admin: I would like to allow CDS to continue to have talk page privileges here until such time as he has shown that it would be irresponsible to continue with that privilege.
Caleb. I feel as though I may have pushed you into the current state which is why I'm offering to help set you on the right path.
First, scattered lesson: Wikipedia has a hierarchy of accepted behaviour. It starts with the Wikipedia:Five pillars. It's what holds Wikipedia up. Under the pillars, the next most important thinks are the policies. That's where those behaviour and content policies come into play. After that, there are editing guidelines. There are lots of those. Then there are Manuals of Style. Fewer of those, but some are not common knowledge. There are projects that work on various areas of Wikipedia. Since you're interested in Christian music, I'll point out that there's a Christian music project. The most active members there are also active with other music projects. You can tell the first few apart by looking at the top of the page. Projects are listed as such in the page name itself. You should get to know the policies first then work into the guidelines for areas you're interested in. Manuals of Style should be understood as well.
With all that said, I'd like you to do three things.
