Wikilinking[edit]

Hi, and thanks for your work on the English Wikipedia.

I noticed an article you worked on. Just a short note to point out that we don’t normally link:

dates
years
commonly known geographical terms (including well-known country-names), and
common terms you’d look up in a dictionary (unless significantly technical).

(This even applies for infoboxes.)

Thanks and my best wishes. (Ask me if you need any help.)

Disambiguation link notification for April 21[edit]

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited VoteVets.org, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Gary Peters (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Unblock[edit]

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).

Brooklands263 (block log • active blocks • global blocks • contribs • deleted contribs • filter log • creation log • change block settings • unblock • checkuser (log))

Request reason:

I cannot fathom why I have been blocked and accused of being a puppeteer, I have been editing on wikipedia for months without any issue or problems, creating numerous articles that I believe have been useful for enhancing wikipedia, whether it be about American Governors who are from ethnic minorities, a topic that is constantly in the news or an article about elected female politicians which is another subject that the media frequently disuss. I cannot understand why I have therefore been blocked, my edits have been sourced and researched so as not to be seen as fictional and I have not engaged in edit warring, libellous edits or vandalism, as you will see from my edits I have put time and dedication in to helping wikipedia but now I am unable to do so and I cannot edit the articles I have created as the information needs updating. Please could I be unblocked as you can see that my edits have neither been malicious and have been used to help wikipedia articles. Best wishes Brooklands263 (talk) 14:33, 3 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Decline reason:

You are a sockpuppet, not a puppeteer. And the fact that it has taken a couple of months for this to be picked up does not alter the fact that editing while blocked (and in your case banned) is not allowed.--Anthony Bradbury^"talk" 16:52, 4 June 2014 (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.
