attention friends A side project is underway to improve the consensus-building, admin-ing and accuracy experience for the wikipedia community in relation to a narrow band of article types. If you believe you are in ideological symmetry with these goals and are smart enough to read through an otherwise oblique reference, I invite you to email me for access instructions. A response with a customized challenge phrase will be provided to verify your identity. No further clarification of this project is available on wikipedia or on my pages. The userids of project participants is not available in any form.

Request reason:

With all due respect to MZMcBride I believe the valued mod may have stumbled into a deep situation, or been directly contacted by User:Lar about a deep situation and briefed only incrementally - about which they are not fully aware. I'd implore anyone to please fully read the discussion that occurred here and take my defensive posture as reasonable under the circumstances. Further, I earnestly request aid and assistance from any so-inclined mod as I am clearly being overwhelmed with "retribution" attacks by two mods after a decision they made became very unpopular and they were frantic about the reaction to it. While I respect the right of mods to make unpopular decisions we can't allow them to stifle debate or discussion about those decisions when they feel they're "backed into a corner." It is inappropriate to use my relative novice WP status, and ensuing inability to launch a cohesive defense for myself, as a way to effectively "off" me through wikilawyer tactics and multiple backdoor complaints against me (none of which I've been informed about) until they can get one to 'stick.'

Decline reason:

Citing the behavior of others and making oblique accusations does not justify your disruptive editing. Please read Misplaced Pages:Guide to appealing blocks, and in future edit in a more collaborative spirit. You may also wish to consider the policy WP:NOTBATTLEGROUND - 2/0 (cont.) 08:24, 2 January 2010 (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.

Request reason:

I want to jazz-up my user page. I have no new information or arguments to make. If someone unblocks me I will not edit anything except my user page for 24 hours. I do not consider this as acknowledgment of any wrongdoing on my part and continue to consider the entire block inappropriate, petty, vindictive and evidence of hatred toward people with minority/disability status, however, in interest of efficacy I am willing to agree to no edits outside my user page for 24 hours in exchange for a block lift.

Decline reason:

No, you are not blocked for edits outside your user page, you are blocked for disruption, and you do not get it. The tone of this request (see also WP:NOTTHEM) indicates that a longer, not a shorter, block is needed to prevent the recurrence of the conduct for which you were correctly blocked. Any more requests in this vein may lead to an extended or indefinite block.  Sandstein  11:01, 2 January 2010 (UTC)

Thanks for the barnstar
