July 2008

Welcome to Wikipedia. The recent edit you made to Minster, Thanet has been reverted, as it appears to be unconstructive. Use the sandbox for testing; if you believe the edit was constructive, ensure that you provide an informative edit summary. You may also wish to read the introduction to editing. Thanks. Sceptre ^(talk) 18:34, 9 July 2008 (UTC)

Why was my edit reverted? It wasn't unconstructive. DiaperPower (talk) 18:39, 9 July 2008 (UTC)

Why have I been blocked?

I have not vandalized anything? Someone blanked the page, and I reverted it. How is that vandalism? DiaperPower (talk) 18:54, 9 July 2008 (UTC)

You have been blocked indefinitely from editing in accordance with Wikipedia's blocking policy for abuse of editing privileges. If you believe this block is unjustified you may contest this block by adding the text {{unblock|your reason here}} below.

{{unblock|I have not vandalized anything? Someone blanked the page, and I reverted it. How is that vandalism? DiaperPower (talk) 18:54, 9 July 2008 (UTC)}}

That was not the only edit you did. You also added content that was in violation of WP:NPOV.--Xp54321 ^{(Hello! • Contribs)} 18:57, 9 July 2008 (UTC)

Please point out where what I did was NPOV? I simply reverted the changes, and merged two headings together. DiaperPower (talk) 18:58, 9 July 2008 (UTC)

Please give me a second while I get the links please.--Xp54321 ^{(Hello! • Contribs)} 18:59, 9 July 2008 (UTC)

Alright...,mmmh,you know what I better let an admin review your request I'm not sure if you should have been blocked. If the content was sourced and not in violation of WP:NPOV then they should not have been removed. Your edits don't appear to have bad intentions.--Xp54321 ^{(Hello! • Contribs)} 19:04, 9 July 2008 (UTC)

You may have violated WP:3RR--Xp54321 ^{(Hello! • Contribs)} 19:06, 9 July 2008 (UTC)

But I was reverting a blanking of the page. And surely Sceptre has broken the 3RR too? DiaperPower (talk) 19:08, 9 July 2008 (UTC)

The picture you added here was certainly in violation of NPOV as it suggested the town was about nothing but sex.--Xp54321 ^{(Hello! • Contribs)} 19:07, 9 July 2008 (UTC)

Please read the diff. The diff is not done by me, but an IP. DiaperPower (talk) 19:09, 9 July 2008 (UTC)

Whoops!Sorry.Your right.Mmmmh hangon I'm contacting an admin now.--Xp54321 ^{(Hello! • Contribs)} 19:10, 9 July 2008 (UTC)

Thanks. DiaperPower (talk) 19:11, 9 July 2008 (UTC)

I should note WP:3RR doesn't apply to vandalism by the way. Just a side note. If your edits are determined not to have been vandalism than yes Sceptre would be in violation but if your edits are determined to be vandalism then he is not in violation.--Xp54321 ^{(Hello! • Contribs)} 19:14, 9 July 2008 (UTC)

Unblocked

I think, taking a closer look at your contributions, I was perhaps rather harsh in my first assessment. For that I sincerely apologise. However, you were reverting to keep inappropriate content in the article, which another editor was trying to tidy up. The article had clearly been vandalised before, and you gave the impression you were edit-warring to keep the vandalism in place. In the future, please try to talk to other editors before reverting their edits - and be careful not to revert too often.

Again, my apologies. You are now unblocked. EyeSerene^talk 19:21, 9 July 2008 (UTC)

Thank you, and sorry if it seemed that way. DiaperPower (talk) 19:22, 9 July 2008 (UTC)

Here on Wikipedia we attempt to assume good faith as much as we can. This is a good example. I recommend getting adopted by a user at WP:ADOPT so you can learn more. I also recommend you read up on Wikipedia policies and guidelines.--Xp54321 ^{(Hello! • Contribs)} 19:26, 9 July 2008 (UTC)

Er for some reason I still seem to be blocked. :S DiaperPower (talk) 19:26, 9 July 2008 (UTC)

You may be editing a semi-protected or fully-protected page. Also you are unblocked. I checked your log. You were blocked for exactly 18 minutes.--Xp54321 ^{(Hello! • Contribs)} 19:29, 9 July 2008 (UTC)

Your IP may be autoblocked, you'll need to follow the instructions on the autoblock. –xenocidic (talk) 19:29, 9 July 2008 (UTC)

As for Wikipedia policy, please see WP:POLICY for links to all our polices and guidelines.--Xp54321 ^{(Hello! • Contribs)} 19:33, 9 July 2008 (UTC)

Never mind - I think I lifted your autoblock. Should be good now. –xenocidic (talk) 19:33, 9 July 2008 (UTC)

I'd also recommend staying away from this article as you're likely to have problems with it again in the future.--Xp54321 ^{(Hello! • Contribs)} 19:36, 9 July 2008 (UTC)

Ok thanks for everything. I'm unblocked now. :) DiaperPower (talk) 19:37, 9 July 2008 (UTC)

Great now after reading up on policy go to WP:TODO and help improve articles there.--Xp54321 ^{(Hello! • Contribs)} 19:38, 9 July 2008 (UTC)
