[edit] May 2008

You have been blocked from editing for a period of 24 hours in accordance with Wikipedia's blocking policy for violating the three-revert rule. Please be more careful to discuss controversial changes or seek dispute resolution rather than engaging in an edit war. If you believe this block is unjustified, you may contest the block by adding the text {{unblock|your reason here}} below. ScarianCall me Pat! 21:25, 27 May 2008 (UTC)

This blocked user (block log | autoblocks | rangeblocks | unblock | contribs | deleted contribs) has asked to be unblocked, but an administrator has reviewed and declined this request. Other administrators may also review this block, but should not override the decision without good reason (see the blocking policy). Do not remove this unblock request while you are blocked.

Request reason: "I have not een engaged in edit warring; I simply reversed edits that were made by people by-passing on-going dispute resolutions on the discussion pages. I have not edited any article material since I was informed about the three-revert rule. This block is simply heavy handed"

Decline reason: "In any case it's only 24 hours, so please wait it out and come back tomorrow. — -Pilotguy contact tower 03:12, 28 May 2008 (UTC)"

Please make any further unblock requests by using the {{unblock}} template. However, abuse of the template may result in your talk page being protected.

[edit] Advice

While I appreciate that you did not continue edit-warring after being informed of 3RR, it nevertheless is a ring-fenced policy. You violate it, you will be blocked. That said, if you now appreciate that edit-warring is bad and intend not to continue to do so in future, then you may be unblocked soon. However, there are a few things that don't exactly encourage me that you fully understand how things work around here. Firstly, by deleting the message I left for you, rather than responding to it, you don't exactly give the impression that you learned from the 3RR advice, rather that you ignored it. Secondly, heading your talkpage with PLEASE DO NOT LEAVE MESSAGES isn't exactly welcoming is it? People will only ignore it (since this is the place to leave messages for you). I would strongly suggest re-evaluating your attitude towards working with other editors in a constructive manner. Then your request to be unblocked may be received better.
