Hi,
I recently discovered Wikipedia, and I am very impressed by the vast range of information, and by the neutrality of many of the definitions.
I have only today started to contribute to Wikipedia, and made a few additions of links to some of the articles.
I noticed that the definition of the September 11 attacks was claiming as fact some information that is widely disputed, and so a few minutes ago inserted information making it clear who claims these facts, and I was going to elaborate further with information on which facts are being disputed and by who, only to find that my IP address had been blocked by a user "Flockmeal".
This user was claiming the reason for the block was "repeated vandalism".
I went on to check what the blocking policy was, and then the Wikipedia definition of vandalism, to discover that by input was in no way anything close to vandalism. I was stating nothing than the facts, with no bias whatsoever. The entries I made were made entirely in good faith, and I am very disappointed that such abuse of the blocking policy has been made.
Since the block, I have registered and now have a username and am contactable at my email address. I would ask that the IP address block be removed, and a discussion started as to why elaborating on facts and remaining factual can be classed as vandalism.
Many thanks, Edmund Broadley
