<<unblock|I am requesting again for several reasons. The first, I have recently been reading Wikipedia blocking policy, and after reviewing my vandalism of the page for Brian Vickers, I found that it seems that I should not have been blocked indefinitely. I get my reasoning from the blocking policy (I am not sure if what I did was only vandalism or a personal attack as well):"Vandalism — Blocks should not be used against isolated incidents of vandalism. Dynamic IPs: up to 24 hours. Range blocks: about 15 minutes, then 1-3 hours, and 24 at most, to avoid collateral damage. User accounts with persistent violations may be blocked indefinitely. Personal attacks — Blocks should not normally be used against general incivility or isolated incidents of personal attacks. Again, dynamic IPs: up to 24 hours. AOL IPs and range blocks: about 15 minutes, then 1-3 hours, and 24 at most, to avoid collateral damage. User accounts with persistent violations may be blocked indefinitely." I have not had a history of persistent violations, and it seems that the most I was supposed to be blocked for was 24 hours. I also read in the blocking policy that if the vandal basically promises not to vandalise pages again, then they can be unblocked. Obviously, I am doing that right now. I seem to be looking for loopholes, and I probably am, but I hope that my request can be honored at last after about 6 months. Now, desperately, I admit to the vandalism (though I suppose that doesn't need doing as you can clearly see I did it), and I honorably (you must be thinking, "Yeah, right...") vow to begin to help Wikipedia rather than degrading it. I doubt that you will believe me, and I'm sorry to make you read this seemingly miserably long request, but I really hope that I can return to editing the bad grammar that I sometimes see that annoys me so. Excuse any of my own grammar which may have been improper. Thank you.>>

Y	Your request to be unblocked has been granted for the following reason(s): I'm giving you a second chance. Don't blow it. Request handled by:  Netsnipe  ►  05:18, 20 March 2007 (UTC)
