Request reason:
No, I think the block was reasonable, although I only persisted at the end because it felt as though F-s was waiting to pounce on my edit, which galled me. It helps that the block is only for a day. I can imagine Wikipedia making a lot of enemies if it practised the kind of suspensions some message boards mete out, even for a first offence. As it is, I've been using the day (including many hours before I even knew I'd been blocked) to ponder on creating an article which will address the website issue, and which I can link to the PD entry. This would be much less like 'vandalism', but the problem is that evidence for the political bias of PD's website admin is difficult to come by. It's just the word of anyone who posted a comment that didn't appear on the site, against the admin's. It's a tad controversial, a bit local interest, and notability is a problem, inasmuch as anyone is interested in the website except maybe no more than one person who thinks all opinions should be reflected. But I'll work on the page tomorrow, and peruse other pages to get an idea of what is permissable
Decline reason:
Please do not use this template to say that you deserve to be blocked. The vandalism was the way in which you voiced your concern: in the article itself. — Selket Talk 23:19, 24 July 2008 (UTC)
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.
Now I'm back, I have two things to say about that. Firstly, there were two references of 'vandalize' (funny how no-one ever says 'vandalizm') before my in-page comment, so that's simply wrong. Also, although I have asked how to directly contact an administrator, and in my travels seen that it is possible to email one, no contact info has been forthcoming. I have no reason to think that the forces of alteration opposing me don't have much better access to the admin than I have, and get less snippy responses. And that's all I have to say about that.
