[edit] Your edit to Latchkey kid

I have reverted your edit to this article as it has been getting a great deal of unsourced vandalism recently. If your edit was something that you can include a source for, please feel free to replace it on the article, but also provide a link as the other sourced items on the page. --Brian G (Talk) 01:18, 14 August 2006 (UTC)

This blocked user (block log | autoblocks | unblock | contribs) asked to be unblocked, but an administrator or other user has reviewed and declined this request. Other administrators or users can also review this block, but should not override the decision without good reason (see the blocking policy). This unblock request continues to be visible. Do not replace this message with another unblock request nor add another unblock request.

Request reason: "{{{1}}}"

Decline reason: "Please see the explanation by Redvers below. --Shell babelfish 02:02, 16 August 2006 (UTC)"

This template should be removed when the block has expired, or after 2 days in the case of blocks of 1 week or longer.

I was going to change the page back, but I was blocked. I also have contributed to wikipedia by removing a broken link from another page. I think an infinite ban goes too far. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Bear.owned2 (talk • contribs) 16:35, 15 August 2006 (UTC)

I am not an admin, but I am willing to WP:AGF here and presume that this user made a mistake on their first edit and are prepared to contribute positively going forward. I would think it would be OK to unblock with the understanding by bear.owner2 that there will be no tolerance of further vandalism and expect that they will edit responsibly or face little leniency in the future. --Brian G (Talk) 17:16, 15 August 2006 (UTC)
I'm afraid we have been operating a policy of zero-tolerance of anybody adding anything to Wikipedia at the instructions of Mr Colbert (as you did to the Latchkey kid article). The reasoning appears to be that if you can't be trusted not to insert an untruth into an encyclopedia because some dullbob on television told you to, then you can't really be trusted with editing at all. I have no opinion on this policy, but there it is. ➨ ЯEDVERS 17:46, 15 August 2006 (UTC)
Even Sergey Brin did it. I saw a video where he admits to that. As a matter of fact, it is linked to from his wikipedia entry. My opinion is that this whole thing is asinine.
