<DIV>Greetings.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I'm new to Wikipedia. I've made a few posts. Still don't know my way around the neighborhood.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I'm up crunching a couple of deadlines, but I'm bored, so I return to a wikipedia listing I hated, but changed only the first sentence (too preoccupied/impatient to go any further). I spend some time making the edit -- only to find I've been blocked. (Annoying. Lost everything.)</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>What's <EM>that</EM> about?</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>While I may have ruffled a few feathers with my first few posts ("motherfucker"/talk), I don't believe I've violated any rules.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>The message I received was:</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><EM>"Autoblocked because your IP address has been recently used by '<STRONG>Hephaestos vs. Dallabnikufesin'</STRONG>. The reason given for Hephaestos vs. Dallabnikufesin's block is as follows: '<STRONG>Vandalism, clearly aimed at <A title=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Hephaestos href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Hephaestos">user:Hephaestos</A></STRONG>'.</EM> <EM>"</EM></DIV>
<DIV><EM></EM> </DIV>
<DIV>So, what's this "vandalism" crap? More importantly, how do I get <EM>unblocked</EM>?</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Peace.</DIV>
