Greetings, the Gerontology Wiki follows Wikipedia policies in general, which state that blocks may be used for protection of the project, not just for "punishment". When a new member joins, it's imperative that they begin by learning the rules, guidelines, and goals of the project. The Gerontology Wiki, founded in 2007, is intended to be an encyclopedia with one major difference from Wikipedia: the "notability" standard is lower and focused on gerontology only.

It was not immediately clear what was going on with the Ellen Green issue, and thus I put a temporary block out and asked for an explanation. Upon further review, it appears that no violation occurred, but please cite reliable sources next time, as that is the appropriate method for making case status changes. I will go ahead and lift the block.Ryoung122 (talk) 15:25, October 17, 2017 (UTC)
