I hope you can contribute in this section. Happy editings! - ☩Damërung ☩. -- 20:32, 18 October 2009 (UTC)
I did clearly discuss why some trivial bits should not be in the article. The removed parts were a few sentences of laws that President Obama did not actively campaign for or make it a signature issue. If these are included, the article ceases to be "Barack Obama" but becomes "The World during President Obama's Life" Hi Balloon Boy (talk) 02:44, 23 October 2011 (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. v/r - TP 14:55, 24 October 2011 (UTC)

Request reason:
Please unblock. Before being blocked, I clearly stated on my page that I would step back from the Obama article. Please also see that I am making valid and constructive suggestions (noting that some laws are not a significant part of the Obama bio). Note that some others have been very rude and TParis did not block them. By unblocking me, you will create a congenial environment for Misplaced Pages. Remember, that I voluntarily pledged to step away BEFORE being blocked and I was also not warned by TParis. If you do not unblock me, you just poison the atmosphere and make wikipedia look savage. Thank you very much. Please assume good faith and unblock me. A new promise....if you unblock me, I will not edit any Obama articles for 1 month-----a win win. If you don't unblock, the block expires in 24 hours and you'll have a person very upset (maybe mad) for being unfairly treated. Thank you.
Decline reason:
I'm sorry, but blaming others and claiming that a refusal to unblock "make(s) wikipedia look savage" will not get your block lifted early. Please read this and try again. TNXMan 15:42, 24 October 2011 (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.

- I am not threatening, merely stating the facts. My block expires in 24 hours. If unblocked now, I will look at that as a sign that some people in Misplaced Pages are reasonable and, in return, will not edit the Obama article for one month. See, I am generous in return. That is generosity, not threatening. Hi Balloon Boy (talk) 15:34, 24 October 2011 (UTC)
- You said that you would step back two days ago and yet today you were engaging in the same edit war. I see plenty of warnings above the block notice and some significant competence issues. You're failing to understand what your behavior warranted the block and you continue to blame other editors (and Misplaced Pages) for doing wrong.--v/r - TP 15:25, 24 October 2011 (UTC)
- I said I would step back for a day and did so for longer than 24 hours. See, I am honest and do not lie. I also do not falsely accuse, like some others (Scjessey and others).
