ArbCom elections are now open!

edit

Hi,
You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.

  This is your only warning; if you violate Wikipedia's biographies of living persons policy by inserting unsourced or poorly sourced defamatory content into an article or any other Wikipedia page again, as you did at Talk:Natural-born-citizen clause‎, you may be blocked from editing without further notice. Stop with the fringe living persons violations. Dave Dial (talk) 20:06, 29 January 2016 (UTC)Reply

The same goes for Talk:Frank Marshall Davis. Just stop. Jonathunder (talk) 20:24, 29 January 2016 (UTC)Reply

Blocked

edit

You were given warnings directly above. You chose to remove the warnings and add the information on your talk page that you were warned about. As a result, you are blocked.

Any administrator is welcome to unblock you (without consulting me) provided that you state that you understand the message Gamaliel placed just above this and that you agree not to make such edits again. Jonathunder (talk) 21:52, 29 January 2016 (UTC)Reply

 
This user's unblock request has been reviewed by an administrator, who declined the request. Other administrators may also review this block, but should not override the decision without good reason (see the blocking policy).

Request reason:

No defamation occurred. And I did no editing to the article after the warning. The alleged grounds are what I put on my talk page, which constituted no disruption to Wikipedia whatsoever. Cleaning the offensive & unjust bloiler plate off my talk page was no crime & no disruption. Adding this statement ON MY OWN TALK PAGE without reference to any person or article was no violation of any known Wikipedia rule: "Interesting How Persons Get So Heated Over Their Political Heroes Adding the word "possibly" in front of a claim of parentage, when there is no actual evidence of who the father is, is not adding poorly sourced material." I did not receive any warning about posting on my own talk page, & the out of context statement above pertains to no particular person or article. Nor did a warner identify himself as an administrator. The statement is false that "You chose to . . . add the information on your talk page that you were warned about." I did not add the information about which I was warned. I said nothing in my statement about any person whatsoever; I just posted a principle. The statement on my own talk page does not disrupt Wikipedia. Is any administrator interested in fairness & justice?

Decline reason:

I have examined your recent contributions and have considered the warnings you were given and your reaction to them, and this unblock request does not come close to addressing the problem. Boing! said Zebedee (talk) 12:12, 2 February 2016 (UTC)Reply


If you want to make any further unblock requests, please read the guide to appealing blocks first, then use the {{unblock}} template again. If you make too many unconvincing or disruptive unblock requests, you may be prevented from editing this page until your block has expired. Do not remove this unblock review while you are blocked.

My appeal is based on justice, as posted above. (EnochBethany (talk) 17:09, 2 February 2016 (UTC))Reply

 
You have been blocked indefinitely from editing for repeating the very WP:BLP violations that got you blocked to begin with. Your ability to edit your talk page has also been revoked. If you think there are good reasons why you should be unblocked, you should read the guide to appealing blocks, then contact administrators by submitting a request to the Unblock Ticket Request System.  Ian.thomson (talk) 15:28, 7 February 2016 (UTC)Reply
