Welcome
Blocked
{{unblock|Your reason here}}
below, but you should read our guide to appealing blocks first. talkYou were warned repeatedly, and now your account has been blocked for 31 hours. When you are able to edit again, please do so in a collaborative fashion, respecting consensus and the views of other editors, and without edit warring, attacks on other editors, and generally disruptive editing. If you cannot do that this account will likely be blocked indefinitely. Editing on Wikipedia requires patience and a willingness to work with others—you did not exhibit those attributes today, and instead you wasted a lot of people's time because you refused to listen to what others were telling you. --Bigtimepeace | talk | contribs 19:39, 26 August 2009 (UTC)

Request reason:
Please unban me. People told me that I shouldn't write on the Barack Obama article so I listened. Now they have blocked me because they don't want me to write on the talk pages. This ban is completely wrong because I was trying to get Wikipedia to be as accurate as possible and not embellish the Barack Obama article. You see, he was a part time Senior Lecturer which is very distinguished. However, reporters are often inaccurate and some have referred to him as professor. This little detail between Professor and professor is often lost on the reader. Some people want to embellish his resume but the interests of Wikipedia should be more important than supporting a politician. I support Obama but I support accuracy in Wikipedia more. So please unban me and I will let those supporters win. Please don't try to show that you are powerful by refusing this polite request.
Decline reason:
Sorry, no. You don't even seem to be able to request an unblock without being insulting and argumentative. That won't work. --jpgordon::==( o ) 19:45, 26 August 2009 (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.
You haven't been banned, you've been blocked for 31 hours. Gwen Gale (talk) 19:55, 26 August 2009 (UTC)
- If Gaydenver agrees to avoid anything related to Obama for the full duration of the block, I have no problem with another admin unblocking, though I don't think it really does any harm to leave the block on either (I'll take no action either way myself). The block was to prevent further editing to Barack Obama and the talk page for a short while, so if a verbal agreement to that effect replaces the block that's acceptable. Were it to be violated though I would suggest a longer block would be in order. --Bigtimepeace | talk | contribs 19:56, 26 August 2009 (UTC)
- I was typing that I agreed and was getting ready to unblock him when the below edit conflicted. Needless to say...I didn't. --Smashvilletalk 19:59, 26 August 2009 (UTC)
- Settle down. See WP:5 pillars. Gwen Gale (talk) 19:59, 26 August 2009 (UTC)
- Not enough. I don't agree that you've vandalised the site, but I do think you've been highly disruptive. Gwen Gale (talk) 20:02, 26 August 2009 (UTC)
I respectfully point out that the block page says "They are not intended for use in retaliation, as punishment, or where there is no current conduct issue which is of concern" I have already stated that I wish unblock to write some other things on completely unrelated subjects. I beg you, please, please, please.... Gaydenver (talk) 20:03, 26 August 2009 (UTC)
One thing that I would do is to better the Kensington, Maryland article. Look at the city government section. Completely inadequate. The education system is just a list of elementary schools. Many other problems. Please, please unblock. Gaydenver (talk) 20:05, 26 August 2009 (UTC)
- Stay away from Obama topics (mind, I'm no fan of Mr Obama) for two weeks and I'll unblock you. If you disrupt this website again you'll likely be blocked again, but for much longer. It's up to you. Gwen Gale (talk) 20:09, 26 August 2009 (UTC)
- Ok, but may I suggest less than 2 weeks? But I am in no position to argue so I will agree to anything. Gaydenver (talk) 20:11, 26 August 2009 (UTC)
- Ok then, I won't unblock you unless you agree to stay away from Obama topics for at least a month and agree to thoroughly read and abide by WP:5 pillars. Gwen Gale (talk) 20:14, 26 August 2009 (UTC)
- Why are you adding to the length? Ok, I will abide by the length. Gaydenver (talk) 20:15, 26 August 2009 (UTC)
- I have read the 5 pillars document. I learned that "wikipedia is not a newspaper".
- Because you don't seem to have any wish to abide by the policies of this privately owned website. Will you read and abide by them, along with staying away from Obama topics for at least one month (which will give you lots of time to learn about how things are done here)? Gwen Gale (talk) 20:18, 26 August 2009 (UTC)
- I will abide by the 5 pillars. As proof, I learned from reading that page that Wikipedia is not a newspaper so I won't add news to it and will abide by the 30 days period.Gaydenver (talk) 20:20, 26 August 2009 (UTC)
- You must also agree to stay away from Obama topics for one month, which will give you lots of time to learn about the policies here. Gwen Gale (talk)
- If that's all you got out of it, I'm not going to be the one to unblock you. Read some more of the policies and guidelines, come up with something that explains why your recent edits were problematic, and I'll be happy to unblock. Of course, Gwen or another admin might have a different threshold for unblocking... --SarekOfVulcan (talk) 20:25, 26 August 2009 (UTC)
