I was wrongly blocked from: Steel359 so could sombody please help me??? I belive Steel359 should lose his/her privlages right now. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Bmdsherman (talk • contribs) 01:15, 27 February 2007.

It looks like a good faith block to me. You made two contributions: one was to add a link to the WRKI article in the Interstate 95 article, and the other was the dump from the I95 website—which, as noted above, is a massive copyright violation. It might be a little harsh for a first offence, true, but I don't think it's unjustified. —C.Fred (talk) 02:02, 27 February 2007 (UTC)

C.fred-

C.fred- it was a little harsh I right now should be contrubting I logged on saw A LOT of other staions with all their info posted I KNEW it woudn't hurt to post W--I and it didn't so I need sombody to go and sumit somthing saying I deserve my editing rights back.

PS. Does anybody know how long until I can edit again?? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Bmdsherman (talk • contribs).

Policy is that the blocking admin is the first person to get involved on an unblocking situation. If you look at WP:BLOCK, it will talk about other layers of recourse you have.
I've also posted the following message on User Talk:Steel359: Greetings! Not sure if you're monitoring his talk page, but User:Bmdsherman is wondering what he needs to do to get unblocked. I didn't see a tag on his Talk page for the reason for the block, though I did see the block log. (Personally, I don't quite blame any admin for blocking a user whose two contributions are a copyvio article creation and a disambiguation-type link toward the page.) Since practice is to start everything with the admin who made the block, I just wanted to relay the message on his behalf, to make sure this doesn't go unaddressed. Regards,

There's actually this page as well, which was similar to WRKI. Incidentally, I was more concerned about its spammyness than copyvioness. At any rate, I'll unblock you assuming you're not going to create articles like that again. – Steel 14:41, 27 February 2007 (UTC)

Why you shoulg unblock me

There where two reasons for the block,

1. link to the wrki home page

2. the creation of a site with copyright matrial from wrki

Let me explayne why this is wrong:

Reason 1: is wrong because creating a link is not a coppyright violation. (go to the wrki home page and you will see that they have links to other sites)


Reason 2: I wanted to see a site about wrki so I searched for it here. I did not find a site for wrki however I saw a site for almost every other raido staion. I also got a message from wikipedia saying I should create a page for wrki.

This blocked user (block log | autoblocks | rangeblocks | unblock | contribs | deleted contribs) has asked to be unblocked, but an administrator has reviewed and declined this request. Other administrators may also review this block, but should not override the decision without good reason (see the blocking policy). Do not remove this unblock request while you are blocked.

Request reason: "(No reason provided by blocked user, but see above.)"

Decline reason: "See the above comments by C.fred et al. You still fail to understand that Wikipedia is not for advertising and does not allow copyrighted material. — Sandstein 20:30, 27 February 2007 (UTC)"
