I was blocked for removing this IMPORTANT POP CULTURE DETAIL from an article about a major city. Tell me again why Wikipedia doesn't suck. 67.168.55.231 19:04, 11 November 2007 (UTC)
The edit you are trying to make is not necessarily bad. I blocked you because of your disruption and incivility. When your block expires, you are free to use the talk page to discuss the change you would like to make. If you are civil, you will find a much better reception to your attempted edits. --Ed (Edgar181) 19:08, 11 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Reasoning

Well, first off, making rude and vulgar comments are going to get you nowhere. Second, when users see edit summaries that say "Down with Wikipedia", it's immediately seen as vandalism because comments like those are highly constructive. Finally, if you wish to have information removed from a article, you need to have a consensus on the article page. Icestorm815 18:58, 11 November 2007 (UTC)
