Re:Editing tips

What sort of editing tips? Well, if you're looking for articles to edit, try the random article button (or I can give you huge lists, and yes, I mean huge :)).

The bad thing is, many people will oppose people in RfAs if the main thing they do is vandal fighting. :( Hmmm... do you think an RfA is a good idea?   jj137 (talk) 01:19, 1 February 2008 (UTC)

Actually, it could. I mean, when RfAs fail, people generally expect candidates to wait at least 3-6 months (roughly) before retrying. Then they will ask you questions about how you've improved since your previous RfA, etc.   jj137 (talk) 01:25, 1 February 2008 (UTC)

Vandalism?

You left on my talk page something about Vandalism, you failed to mention which page was reverted and considered vandalism. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.137.207.191 (talk) 23:34, 1 February 2008 (UTC) Yes but what page, I hardly limit my "vandalism", which usually expresses it self in the form of removing original research and opinions. For instance I've been occupying my self lately by removing Trivia expressing Fan opinions from Babylon 5 episodes. DO NOT vandalise my User PAge with your welcome thing, I know your rules and your welcome thing and how to sign, I do not on the other hand care for them. Had one, I do not wish another, unless there is a rule that states I NEED an account to make more than a certain amount of edits. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.137.207.191 (talk) 23:58, 1 February 2008 (UTC) I already said I didn't care, I've never been to my user page before you started posting there and I'm only going there because a thing comes up at the top of the page. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.137.207.191 (talk) 01:03, 2 February 2008 (UTC)

You have still failed to tell me exactly what article I "vandalized", my original reason for acknowledging you. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.137.207.191 (talk) 01:16, 2 February 2008 (UTC)

Should I leave the Trivia title when I delete all of the trivia within? And that still isn't specific, I asked "exactly what article" and "which page". You can't be saying you object to me deleting the unreferenced, original research, trivia (that often goes along the lines "Fans believe blah blah blah" or "this is a clear homage/reference to [insert geek subculture icon]", and I don't mean that in a negative way, I'm rather geeky myself, Warhammer behind me, Star Wars and Dragonlance to the right, WWII stuff and Battletech stuff to my left over half of my bed) in the articles for episodes from the first 3 seasons. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.137.207.191 (talk) 01:42, 2 February 2008 (UTC)

I was a Blue Jay fan when I was a kid, other things got me to stop paying attention —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.137.207.191 (talk) 02:10, 2 February 2008 (UTC)

Re:Johan Santana

Here's the link to this week's newsletter. On the Johan Santana article, it looks like it has since been changed to Mets.   jj137 (talk) 16:27, 2 February 2008 (UTC)

Your RfA

I'm sorry, but I've closed your Request for adminship prematurely. Simply put, you have too few edits on Wikipedia; while edit count isn't the only determining factor, and numerous people have their own personal standards that they judge RfA candidates by, there was no chance that the RfA was going to pass.

I'm sorry about this, and hope you don't take it personally. If you continue to contribute to the project in a positive fashion, I'm confident that you could possibly run a successful RfA in the future. You may want to consider submitting yourself to Wikipedia:Editor review for feedback on where to get some good experience, and when you're ready for RfA again, there's a great Wikipedia:Admin coaching program for you to use, as well as a guide to requests for adminship.

If you have any other questions about becoming an administrator, please don't hesitate to ask me. Good luck! Maxim_(talk) 17:02, 2 February 2008 (UTC)

chiefs wikiproject

Hey, I saw you're comments on conman33 talk page. Have you met LJ? RC-0722 ^communicator/_kills 18:18, 4 February 2008 (UTC)

Really? That's kind of suprising. What about Brodie Croyle? RC-0722 ^communicator/_kills 23:45, 4 February 2008 (UTC)

Cool. What about Trent Green? I'm pretty sure he's nice. RC-0722 ^communicator/_kills 04:20, 9 February 2008 (UTC)

Mitt

Did he invent Mittens or the CD Romney? BTW, I like him too. RC-0722 ^communicator/_kills 23:57, 4 February 2008 (UTC)

Yeah, since fred thompson dropped out I have to pick him, but I can't vote so where does that leave me? RC-0722 ^communicator/_kills 01:39, 5 February 2008 (UTC)

Yeah, I did the same. I'm actually one of our state reps "Youth Coordinator" Not a good job to have if you ain't popular. RC-0722 ^communicator/_kills 15:43, 5 February 2008 (UTC)

Re:Fantasy Baseball

Head-to-head sounds good. It don't know the differences, but will probably look into it.

How were you able to get CBS Sportsline to work? It still tells me an error has occurred.   jj137 (talk) 01:37, 6 February 2008 (UTC)

Just checked it right now, the error still comes up :( - Milk's Favorite Cookie 01:42, 6 February 2008 (UTC)

A player name? I created an account, what do you mean by 'a player name'? - Milk's Favorite Cookie 02:06, 6 February 2008 (UTC)

Yes - in the 'Toolbox' (under the searchbox) it should say "Email this user" when you are on my userpage or my talk page. - Milk's Favorite Cookie 02:14, 6 February 2008 (UTC)

Are you sure you gave the right email address - try refreshing the page. Also, can you give me a link where you can join a league - I can't find it. - Milk's Favorite Cookie 02:23, 6 February 2008 (UTC)

I don't mind the date or the time. We have to check when JJ, and stormtracker are open. Do you have a link to the website where I can join your league? - Milk's Favorite Cookie 02:26, 6 February 2008 (UTC)

Hmm...ok lets wait. Ask JJ and stormtracker if Friday at 3:30 p.m. eastern is good. I know JJ is in the same time zone as me not sure about you or stormtracker. - Milk's Favorite Cookie 02:30, 6 February 2008 (UTC)

Yep - so you are 2 hrs. behind me (I think) is it 7:40ish over there? - Milk's Favorite Cookie 02:37, 6 February 2008 (UTC)

So are you for 1:30 on Friday? (I changed the time above to 3:30) Oh, and Stormtracker is in Eastern too. - Milk's Favorite Cookie 02:41, 6 February 2008 (UTC)

IDK, we'll see, it depends on JJ, and Stormtracker. Until then I have to wake up at 6 tomorrow. Gotta go to sleep. - Milk's Favorite Cookie 02:45, 6 February 2008 (UTC)

It says I need a group password, do you know what it is? (I followed the directions until the end, and when I searched for the league, nothing came up. I must be doing something wrong.)   jj137 (talk) 02:58, 6 February 2008 (UTC)

If you confirm an email in Special:Preferences, it will work. You can always remove it if you don't want it there ;)   jj137 (talk) 03:15, 6 February 2008 (UTC)

And, I really don't care when we do the draft, but I can probably tell you if I can't do it at a certain time.   jj137 (talk) 03:16, 6 February 2008 (UTC)

No, does the email-confirmed not work?   jj137 (talk) 03:17, 6 February 2008 (UTC)

(Don't really want to post it here, will probably get spammed :() If you just put in an email address in Special:Preferences, confirm it with the message in your inbox, you can use Special:Emailuser/Jj137, then remove it if you want. The email addresses aren't "public", you can only know what they are if you get sent an email with one.   jj137 (talk) 03:20, 6 February 2008 (UTC)

Anytime after 3:00 PM on a Friday or a Weekend is good for me. (Except anytime between 7 PM and 9:45 PM this Friday. STORMTRACKER 94 ^{Go Sox!} 11:10, 6 February 2008 (UTC)

Sorry, when I said time time above I meant 3:30 not 1:30. I would be at school as well. - Milk's Favorite Cookie 21:03, 6 February 2008 (UTC)

Fantasy baseball

OK, check your mail. (I had just forgotten to finish confirming my account, that's why it didn't work.) Now, are we creating a new league? "League of the Wiki" is full with random people.   jj137 (talk) 20:59, 6 February 2008 (UTC)

Here's the new league.   jj137 (talk) 21:18, 6 February 2008 (UTC)

Vote!

User:Milk's Favorite Cookie/elections - Milk's Favorite Cookie 00:14, 7 February 2008 (UTC)

Yeah, true, a little on the racism side their HP_{(You don't mind if I call you that I hope?)} But I lived in Mass all my life - never really liked Romney much. I'm acutally going to change to McCain. - Milk's Favorite Cookie 01:02, 7 February 2008 (UTC)

Yeah, last time I checked the only 3 who joined were, me, JJ, and storm. Have you joined yet? - Milk's Favorite Cookie 02:18, 7 February 2008 (UTC)

Thanks

User:Earthbendingmaster/thanks Earthbendingmaster 01:02, 7 February 2008 (UTC)

Fantasy baseball

Yep, those are us. It looks like the draft is this Saturday at 1 P.M. (EST)   jj137 (talk) 02:26, 7 February 2008 (UTC)

What's the link to your league?   jj137 (talk) 02:26, 7 February 2008 (UTC)

I guess so, if you want to.   jj137 (talk) 02:45, 7 February 2008 (UTC)

Great! Are you able to make the draft Saturday?   jj137 (talk) 02:56, 7 February 2008 (UTC)

Of course I'll give ESPN a try. We have two days to get a few more people, so I'm not sure how that will work out.   jj137 (talk) 20:09, 7 February 2008 (UTC)

Have you asked Milk's Favorite Cookie or Stormtracker yet?   jj137 (talk) 20:22, 7 February 2008 (UTC)

Yeah, you should probably go ahead and do that. If we can't get enough people for the CBS league, it will be good to already have that ready.   jj137 (talk) 20:46, 7 February 2008 (UTC)

BTW, you might want to see this...   jj137 (talk) 20:48, 7 February 2008 (UTC)

I think you're pretty active. Most people just added their name to the members list and haven't done anything since.

It is sad that JA10 left... I don't understand why so many good editors are leaving these days. I still don't know why we know our "number" in the project, but if you want to be #3, that's fine :)   jj137 (talk) 20:36, 8 February 2008 (UTC)

Re: ESPN Fantasay Baseball

Yeah, ESPN is better, but if we have enough people by the time, lets not go to ESPN. Also, what do you mean by 'Change my background'? - Milk's Favorite Cookie 20:36, 7 February 2008 (UTC)

Is it? JJ said it looked cool. I can read it pretty easily... But if you really think so :(. I'll keep it till additional people complain. - Milk's Favorite Cookie 22:24, 7 February 2008 (UTC)

Fantasy baseball

(I also left you a message above, if you didn't see it yet) It looks like the league is full now. Just wondering, do you know what would happen if someone missed the draft tomorrow?   jj137 (talk) 21:20, 8 February 2008 (UTC)

Hmm... do you think we should? Our league is full now with 10 people.   jj137 (talk) 00:29, 9 February 2008 (UTC)

That's a really good point. Should you go ahead and mention it to Stormtracker and MFC?   jj137 (talk) 02:03, 9 February 2008 (UTC)

Sure! That would be great. - Milk's Favorite Cookie 02:14, 9 February 2008 (UTC)

Looks like Milk already thinks it's a good idea. We'll have to wait for Stormtracker's response --  jj137 (talk) 02:16, 9 February 2008 (UTC)

Not really - I have a lot of HW - but as usual I'll save it till Sunday. I was just watching TV. Why? - Milk's Favorite Cookie 03:03, 9 February 2008 (UTC)

Oh, uh, ask JJ. I don't think its possible with 2 people. - Milk's Favorite Cookie 03:09, 9 February 2008 (UTC)

That sounds pretty good. I'll join whenever you tell me to. STORMTRACKER 94 ^{Go Sox!} 12:58, 9 February 2008 (UTC)

I should be there most of the time.   jj137 (talk) 16:43, 9 February 2008 (UTC)

Well, maybe all of the time. Do you know how long it will be?   jj137 (talk) 17:00, 9 February 2008 (UTC)

Nothing I can think of right now...   jj137 (talk) 17:05, 9 February 2008 (UTC)

I don't know. When I said "most of the time" I probably should have said "the whole time". It's kind of hard to tell without knowing how long it is.   jj137 (talk) 17:10, 9 February 2008 (UTC)

Yep.   jj137 (talk) 17:15, 9 February 2008 (UTC)

Mets

Hey, the Mets look good this year. RC-0722 ^communicator/_kills 04:24, 9 February 2008 (UTC)

Yes I do. But is there money involved? RC-0722 ^communicator/_kills 04:55, 9 February 2008 (UTC)

Then yes. RC-0722 ^communicator/_kills 13:44, 9 February 2008 (UTC)

WikiProject Baseball Newsletter

The Baseball WikiProject Newsletter Issue I – July 2008

"A home opener is always exciting, no matter if it's home or on the road." - Yogi Berra News and announcements Welcome to the first Baseball WikiProject Newsletter, dated Tuesday, July 15, 2008. The Article Improvement Drive has been revived. Check it out! The Outreach department is in the works, please contribute your ideas! Featured content In the past month, WikiProject Baseball has had the following articles promoted to Featured Article status: Art Houtteman 1926 World Series St. Louis Cardinals seasons Philadelphia Phillies seasons List of Major League Baseball players from Puerto Rico This month's newsletter was designed and written by Wizardman, jj137, and Blackngold29. If you would like to contribute to future newsletters, please contact the Baseball WP outreach dept.

News from the diamond The 79th MLB All-star Game is scheduled for this evening. The 2008 Home Run Derby took place yesterday. Justin Morneau defeated Josh Hamilton in the final round, 5 home runs to 3, although Hamilton broke a record with 28 home runs hit in the first round. From the Editors Baseball has a history unlike any other sport. It has been played in countless countries throughout the decades, and it will undoubtedly continue play for many more. On this eve, some the finest players the sport has to offer will take the field at the Yankee Stadium. Four popes spoke there, Pelé scored goals there, "The Greatest [football] Game Ever Played" was battled out there, John Philip Sousa lead a band there, George Costanza worked there; but what do all these events have in common? They fail to reach the level of greatness that the baseball that was played there did. In 1923, a man named Babe Ruth decided to build a new house, and over the years, that house was a home to some of the greatest baseball ever played. If I were to list out all of these great moments, it would be longer than the bill for the New Yankee Stadium. So I'll sum it up by saying that we can remember these great moments by adding them to this place we've gathered at for future generations to read about, to learn about, to dream about; but more importantly we can watch tonight and we can remember how baseball is unlike anything else that we will encounter in our lives. — Blackngold29

Hehe, I don't think I've heard him say that. Then again, maybe I didn't listen closely enough...   jj137 (talk) 03:05, 16 July 2008 (UTC)

If you believe that you can edit constructively and within our expectations and behavior norms, then you are welcome to come back on Tuesday and edit again. Please take some time off and consider what are appropriate ways of engaging in conversation and building the encyclopedia. Thank you. Georgewilliamherbert (talk) 06:39, 1 September 2008 (UTC)

On my talk page, you wrote: Yea, I WAS TRYING TO STOP ANOTHER ARGUMENT LIKE THE SECTION ABOVE IT! LOOK AT IT NOW! I WAS RIGHT!

I understand that. It was clear from the edit summaries that you intended that.

What you need to understand is that it's not your right to "stop arguments" like that. You don't get to decide which discussions are worth having on talk pages and which aren't. It's not your right to remove other people's comments like that.

If discussions get particularly hostile, or particular editors are disruptive in discussions, then something can be done to tone things down. But random editors are not allowed to just short circuit discussion by randomly deleting others' comments like you did.

It's fundamentally disrespectful of all the other participants in the discussion to take away anyone else's comments.

Trying to minimize conflict and keep things civil and constructive is good. But doing so by removing talk comments is far far worse.

Please do not do it again. As I said, and as you were warned, it's absolutely not OK to remove those others' comments like that. Thank you. Georgewilliamherbert (talk) 01:44, 4 September 2008 (UTC)

Sport roster changes

Per WP:CRYSTAL, we don't include any expected/suggested/impending sport roster changes. We only report on those that have occured, since such events don't occur on a regularly scheduled or predictable basis.

See Talk:Jason_Kidd#Dallas_Mavericks_2008 to see how some editors jumped the gun and added details to a deal that was "done in principle", but never approved by the NBA. The trade got blocked by a clause in Devean George's contract and had to be re-worked with different players a week later. --Madchester (talk) 01:09, 21 November 2008 (UTC)

Re: deleted sawyer the musical

Re your message: I deleted the article because of borderline WP:BLP issues regarding the student who is the focus of the play. Additionally, there is no notability claim for the play and, since the writing of the play is not completed, the article would be deleted per policy. -- Gogo Dodo (talk) 07:07, 22 November 2008 (UTC)

Re your message: I noticed that when I read the article. No, it does not make any difference. If anything, it adds to the issues with the article as you have a conflict of interest. -- Gogo Dodo (talk) 07:14, 22 November 2008 (UTC)

Re your message: Alright, as long as the play meets the notability requirements. -- Gogo Dodo (talk) 21:23, 22 November 2008 (UTC)

Outtakes

Sorry about the reverting. I tried to revert my own edit, but you were faster. My mistake, I'll be more careful in the future.Sjö (talk) 10:03, 22 November 2008 (UTC)

Red Sox-Junichi Tazawa links

I wanted to let you know that I reverted your edit in Junichi Tazawa, since the current reports look flimsy in my opinion. No US organization is actually reporting the news, but instead reporting on an article in Sankei Sports (or Sanspo), a Japanese sports tabloid. No other source has reported this news to my knowledge, and the details are sketchy right now. I would be careful about citing any news coming out of Japan - most US media are probably ripping stories off NPB Tracker, and if they're citing a Japanese sports daily, that means they probably have nothing. --Mosmof (talk) 23:32, 24 November 2008 (UTC)

Sorry, I realized that they're working off two Japanese newspaper sources now, but they're still unreliable, I think. But Boston Globe actually got a confirmation from Shipley, so I'll put that source in. --Mosmof (talk) 23:38, 24 November 2008 (UTC)

I placed a Wikiquette Alert in regards to some of your postings here: Wikiquette Alert Atlantabravz (talk) 16:37, 29 November 2008 (UTC)

Thank you for your contribution to User talk:Jj137, but we are trying to write an encyclopedia here, so please keep your edits factual and neutral. Our readers are looking for serious articles and will not find joke edits amusing. Remember, millions of people read Wikipedia, so we have to take what we do here seriously. If you'd like to experiment with editing, use the sandbox to get started. Thank you. Referring to other editors as "cunt" or "asshole", and refactoring their comments on others talkpages is not permitted, even when they are attempts to be humourous with "friends". They are significant violations of WP:CIVIL and will not be tolerated. ►BMW◄ 13:08, 29 November 2008 (UTC)

Let's see here now. One of your "friends" just happens to go to the userpage of a user with whom you've had a dispute, and posts a personal attack in the very same section in which you posted a personal attack? You really expect me, or anyone else, to believe that? Come off it. Blueboy96 21:27, 2 December 2008 (UTC)

No.... I never said that. I said that my FRIEND used my COMPUTER and vandalized wikipedia. THEREFORE my IP for my home computer has a record of vandalism. HPJoker ^{Leave me a message} 22:53, 2 December 2008 (UTC)

The rationale provided for extending the block (evasion repeated incivility) seems clear to me.

The point is that he extended the ban with insufficient evidence. He indef banned me with NO proof that that was actually me and to this day, hour, minute, second, still has no proof that that IP was actually me. HPJoker ^{Leave me a message} 00:44, 12 December 2008 (UTC)

Decline reason:

The pattern of behavior would seem to clearly indicate that you have intentionally attempted to cicumvent your block. If you can prove you are willing to abide by all Wikipedia rules, such as NOT editing while you are blocked, for a significant period of time, then your unblock request may be reconsidered. However, one week is not sufficient time to demonstrate that you are reformed. If you continue to repeatedly request unblocks in rapid succession, this talk page may be protected to stop that disruption. — Jayron32.talk.contribs 04:00, 12 December 2008 (UTC)

You were setup!!

Atlantabravz set you up. Those comments that were written on his talk page were written by Atlantabravz to make you look bad so you would get banned permanently. Notice how straight away after they were written he went and informed Blueboy96? He knew he would block you indefinatly. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.192.79.97 (talk) 21:50, 13 December 2008 (UTC)

I've no idea who is making the above comment, or indeed the veracity of such a claim (timing of a "set-up" is way out), but I have to say that an indefinite block seems out of proportion in this case. It is obvious that HPJoker is guilty of some incivility but to justify an indefinite block I would imagine that means that his presence is a negative one. I believe that claim to be false as the user is not beyond reform. Furthermore, the inconclusive checkuser undermines the indefinite block in these circumstances. Perhaps there are signs of immaturity here, gross immaturity and a brusque manner to boot, but I think that the block should be removed after a week if:

1. No attempts to avoid the block are made
2. HPJoker agrees to keep within the bounds of civility
3. HPJoker realises his behaviour must improve and apologises

If unblocked I'll be sure to keep an eye on this talk page and recommend a re-blocking if I turn out to be wrong about this.

HPJoker: if you're reading — what do you think? Sillyfolkboy (talk) 23:22, 13 December 2008 (UTC)

I am wondering who that IP is......

I just know that Blueboy has caused hell for me. I write an MLB free agency thing on my userpage and I haven't been able to because I've been blocked. I am truly pissed off at him. If I never see him again that would be perfectly fine with me.

I am not attempting to avoid the block. I was using the computers at my school so I could argue my block with Blueboy. When he says that incivility is continued by the use of an IP timer reset is BS. I feel like this guy. Wrongfully accused and sentenced. I will apologize to atlanta but will NEVER speak to Blueboy again. But to tell the truth I feel like they need to lighten up. You got insulted online, lighten up. The whole reason I said that to him in the first place was because he told me to shut down my user page. I said something back to him because someone tried to bring it down last year and it failed.

What is that IP? HPJoker ^{Leave me a message} 00:19, 14 December 2008 (UTC)

I see that your userpage seems to be the real case in point. Why not signup for a wordpress blog account instead? Personally, I see your blog/newsfeed thing as quite harmless but I think it's a valid question as to why you should be doing this type of thing on Wikipedia. People have also suggested moving it to a sub-page as a compromise. Why not try user:HPJoker/RedSox? To be honest I think that getting a blog would better suit your needs anyway and bring your thoughts to a wider audience. I imagine there wouldn't be anything wrong with linking it from your userpage anyway. Sillyfolkboy (talk) 03:40, 14 December 2008 (UTC)

I have to say, I agree with Sillyfolkboy, that you should be allowed back under certain restrictions, cause you do have some legitimate contrubutions that have helped out. And the fact that the only sock was your IP, which you claim is very active. So I'm all for letting you back, but with the restrictions Sillyfolkboy gave and having a "parole officer" to monitor your edits and if you break a restriction they reblock you indefinetely.--Iamawesome800 16:52, 2 January 2009 (UTC)

Hmmmmmm, can I be unbanned now? HPJoker ^{Leave me a message} 00:11, 28 January 2009 (UTC)

You should leave an unblock request, or email the admin who blocked you. You can do the latter if you enable emailing other users in your preferences. J.delanoy^gabs_adds 02:02, 28 January 2009 (UTC)

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).

Request reason:

It's been too long.... i think we all know that the time is WAY overdue to unblock me.

Decline reason:

Based on your conduct, I think it was a good call to block you indefinitely. I don't consider there is any evidence that you've changed. — PhilKnight (talk) 01:53, 7 February 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.

How is that? HPJoker ^{Leave me a message} 05:59, 7 February 2009 (UTC)

I think that we should take this to ANI or ArbCom and try and come to a consensus whether or not you should be unblocked. And obviously there would be a parole officer that can and will block you if you violate a term of your unblocking.--Iamawesome800 Talk to Me 21:57, 7 February 2009 (UTC)

I know it's been too long when two of my former buddies have retired and my other friend Jj isn't on that much. HPJoker ^{Leave me a message} 00:44, 9 February 2009 (UTC)

Request reason:

I think I'm ready to be unblocked and if you don't agree, I want to find out who I can talk to to get unblocked. HPJoker ^{Leave me a message} 23:28, 22 February 2009 (UTC)

Decline reason:

The passage of time, by itself, doesn't make an unblock called for. If you think you've solved the problems that made the block necessary, you should be more specific about why you should be unblocked and what you'd do differently. FisherQueen (talk · contribs) 23:31, 22 February 2009 (UTC)

Well now I know that I can't lash out at someone else whether they be a douchebag or not. Now that I know that, I won't do it again. HPJoker ^{Leave me a message} 23:33, 22 February 2009 (UTC)

Request reason:

You've got to give more a reason, other than length, age and maturity. Admitting you did it, would be a start.--Giants27(Contribs|WP:CFL) 13:30, 25 October 2009 (UTC)

Request reason:

i've had three years to think about it. i'll be good.

Decline reason:

I am declining your request for unblock because it does not address the reason for your block, or because it is inadequate for other reasons. To be unblocked, you must convince the reviewing administrator(s) that

• the block is not necessary to prevent damage or disruption to Wikipedia, or
• the block is no longer necessary because you
  1. understand what you have been blocked for,
  2. will not continue to cause damage or disruption, and
  3. will make useful contributions instead.

Please read our guide to appealing blocks for more information. (talk→ BWilkins ←track) 20:36, 7 September 2010 (UTC)
