[[WP:3RR]] is policy, and you didn't make good faith efforts towards ensuring that policy was met on this article. You were given many opportunities to revert yourself; practically begged to do so, but you insisted you would not. *You* managed to get *yourself* blocked.
I've requested an {{unblock}} as this block was neither justified nor preventative (I clearly stated that I'd stopped editing on the article hours ago and haven't since).
You stated you wouldn't edit the article so that you would not be forced to undo your violation. You were quite defiant about it. Blocks like this prevent people from violating 3RR in the future; otherwise they think they can continue to get away with "I've reverted 5 times now, and I refuse to revert myself, but I promise I won't edit again for 24 hours" nonsense.
If someone could take a look at this case, that'd be appreciated. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:Netscott#Unblock
What, putting an unblock request on your Talk: page isn't good enough for you? It's back to this list again any time you find yourself in conflict? Anyway, Bastique, the admin who was so offended by the image in question that he twice deleted it from the page altogether, has now reduced your block to 24 hours. I'm sure the former has nothing to do with the latter.
Jay.
