:Here's an analysis of the situation with this user:
:1. A new editor [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Contributions/Nextbook made a few contributions.]
:2. [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk%3ANextbook&action=historysubmit&diff=459501988&oldid=458203616 He is warned he has to use sources].
:3. So in his next two edits he tries to use sources.[http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Pitcairn_Islands&action=historysubmit&diff=459856520&oldid=459856138 In this edit he provides not just one, but three sources almost for every sentence he adds, but he does it like this "(Marks, "Lost Paradise", page 292.) "] because he is not sure what is the right way to list references. In his next and the last edit he [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Pitcairn_Islands&action=historysubmit&diff=459857327&oldid=459856138 inserts the external link to the article in Guardian, which of course is a reliable source].
:4. The user [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk%3ANextbook&action=historysubmit&diff=459859217&oldid=459856885 is blocked] and never returns.
