February 2012Please stop adding the same general statement to Lincoln Cathedral about pre-reformation churches. It is so very general and, by continuing your edit warring, you may be infringing Wikipedia policy—GrahamSmith (talk) 13:18, 28 February 2012 (UTC)  Your recent editing history at Lincoln Cathedral shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war. Being involved in an edit war can result in you being blocked from editing—especially if you violate the three-revert rule, which states that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Undoing another editor's work—whether in whole or in part, whether involving the same or different material each time—counts as a revert. Also keep in mind that while violating the three-revert rule often leads to a block, you can still be blocked for edit warring—even if you don't violate the three-revert rule—should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly. To avoid being blocked, instead of reverting please consider using the article's talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. You can post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection. —GrahamSmith (talk) 15:38, 28 February 2012 (UTC)  {{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}}, but you should read the guide to appealing blocks first.During a dispute, you should first try to discuss controversial changes and seek consensus. If that proves unsuccessful, you are encouraged to seek dispute resolution, and in some cases it may be appropriate to request page protection.

 Please stop your disruptive editing. If you continue to vandalize Wikipedia, as you did at Louis Mountbatten, 1st Earl Mountbatten of Burma, you may be blocked from editing. This is your last warning. If you vandalize Wikipedia again, as you did at Leon Brittan, you may be blocked from editing without further notice.  {{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}}. However, you should read the guide to appealing blocks first. Materialscientist (talk) 21:56, 6 January 2015 (UTC)
 Woodseats44 (block log • active blocks • global blocks • contribs • deleted contribs • filter log • creation log • change block settings • unblock • checkuser (log)) Request reason: as I explained in an earlier request to be unblocked, I had drank two litres of whisky prior to my very recent vandalism outbursts. I apologise and I can reassure the Wikipedia community it won't happen again. Thank you Decline reason: In all seriousness, I think the chances of you contributing usefully to Wikipedia are outweighed by the chances of you causing further disruption. PhilKnight (talk) 17:07, 14 January 2015 (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. Woodseats44 (block log • active blocks • global blocks • contribs • deleted contribs • filter log • creation log • change block settings • unblock • checkuser (log)) Request reason: FAO PhilKnight, I have previously apologised and offered the reassurance that I will not transgress again. "In all seriousness", I have a 2:1 degree in History and I am actually fairly closely related to EIGHT people whose biographies are listed on Wikipedia - a couple of whom I have 'contributed usefully' to in the past, something you can actually check for yourself. Also, rather than summarily dismiss my appeal, I would ask you a fairly basic question and one that is frequently aired on matters of justice and 'fair play': ie. don't you believe in giving someone a second chance? Please therefore reconsider your decision or refer it to a selection of other editors if you feel unable or unwilling to do this. Decline reason: Even if you are closely related to people who have Wikipedia articles, that isn't a compelling reason to unblock you. So far your edits have been disruptive, and in this context, I think it's likely that, if unblocked, you would continue to edit disruptively.

Woodseats44 (block log • active blocks • global blocks • contribs • deleted contribs • filter log • creation log • change block settings • unblock • checkuser (log)) Request reason: If you look at my previous 'disruptive edits' they all took place on one occasion when as I explained, I had drank two litres of whisky and was by no means in full possession of my senses. I should also like to point out that you are mistaken in your assertion that so far (by implication, 'all') my "edits have been disruptive". As I suggested in my previous message, I have a history of making extremely constructive edits. For some reason you seem to have entirely overlooked this fact ( see for example, my previous edits to 'Michael Collins' and extensive edits to 'Cardinal Langley RC High School'.) I must say, for one so seemingly certain of their own moral and intellectual rectitude, this is somewhat disappointing. With this in mind, and since you are essentially acting on one persons' opinion and judgement (ie your own, which, as we have seen, is open to question) I would therefore like my appeal to be referred to other, more respected and more highly regarded editors than yourself (PhilKnight) as, indeed, I have previously suggested. As far as I understand it, Wikipedia is run along democratic lines where fairness and sound judgement are highly valued - I sincerely hope this will be reflected in any future decision. Thank you Woodseats44 (talk) 22:49, 17 January 2015 (UTC) Decline reason: I'd say this also was disruptive, and this is another case of unhelpful editing on your part. Personally I'd also say that "editing under the influence" is an aggravating factor, not an excuse; who knows what else you'd do the next time you're drunk?

 (block log • active blocks • global blocks • autoblocks • contribs • deleted contribs • abuse filter log • creation log • change block settings • unblock • checkuser (log)) 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. If you have already appealed to the Unblock Ticket Request System and been declined you may appeal to the Arbitration Committee's Ban Appeals Subcommittee. Please note that there could be appeals to the unblock ticket request system that have been declined leading to the post of this notice. UnblockedThe Ban Appeals Subcommittee (BASC) has carefully considered your appeal, and has decided to unblock you. However please be advised that your contributions will be closely watched and any return to disruptive behaviour will result in the block being quickly reinstated. Thryduulf (talk) 09:47, 12 February 2015 (UTC) Use of 'Previous Denomination: Roman Catholic' in the information box on the subject of 'Lincoln Cathedral".I noticed, despite a lengthy and flawlessly argued case on my part, that the reference to Lincoln Cathedral's 'Previous Denomination' had recently been removed. The comment made by the editor was that they 'don't think' this is 'key information'. Thankfully, the editors of all the wiki articles on pre-Reformation English cathedrals and churches would seem to 'think' otherwise - examples include York Minster, Canterbury and Gloucester Cathedrals. I do not want to get in to an edit war with anyone but, this information has been deemed to be 'key' by the majority of wiki community of contributors and editors - I believe it should therefore be respected and retained as such. Thank you. Use of 'Previous Denomination: Roman Catholic' in the information box of all churches built prior to the ReformationThat it is an historical fact does not make this tag any less superfluous, as it applies to any church built prior to the Reformation.

--Ymblanter (talk) 13:09, 29 January 2016 (UTC) Why have I been blocked?Can someone out there please explain to me why I have been 'permanently blocked' from editing? If you look at my recent discussions on other contributor's talk pages you will see that, at all times, I have behaved courteously and respectfully, hopefully in accord with the spirit of the Wikipedia community. I have also not engaged in any 'disruptive editing' or made further contributions as I am happy for the issue under discussion (i.e. the addition of 'Previous denomination- Roman Catholic' ) to be resolved in collaboration and co-operation with the Wikipedia community. With this in mind, I have not 'reverted' any of the edits made to my contributions, even though I obviously disagree with them. Can someone, somewhere please tell me why my being permanently blocked from editing is in any way fair or reasonable? Thanks (Woodseats44 (talk) 13:58, 29 January 2016 (UTC))
Ymblanter Hi, I will, as you suggest, post an appeal but I would first respectfully ask that you examine the actuality of my previous conduct in more detail (and the true reasons why I was blocked) rather than relying on an erroneous assumption which I suspect is the case in this instance. All the best (Woodseats44 (talk) 14:23, 29 January 2016 (UTC))
