Why did you endorse my block if this is the case? The block was enacted
solely on the ruling in the MONGO case and was applied to my reverting to
a
version of a page that contained a reference to
Wikipedia Review. If
there
was no arbitration ruling that relates to
Wikipedia Review, how is the
justification for my block valid? Why did you support it?
I didn't read the link right. In this case the link might be fine,
although Wikipedia Review is down right now. I don't support broad
generalization of the MONGO case. Glad we cleared that up. Maybe we can
resolve this. Who is it that thinks someone can be blocked for a link to
Wikipedia Review based on the MONGO case?

Heh, okay... everyone makes mistakes.
See [

this edit I made, and my talk page [
http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk:KamrynMatika&oldid=…]
following it.
It seems that (in this case) ElinorD and Crum375 believe that it is OK to
block an editor for adding a link to Wikipedia Review. In this case, the
link pertained to the article as it linked to a thread on Wikipedia Review
where Essjay's deception was first brought to light, and (in my opinion)
it's quite relevant. I was warned for adding the link, based on the MONGO
ruling, and then blocked when I ignored the warning (my bad there I guess).
Is this or is this not appropriate? Thanks.
I'd just like to note for the record that I stopped adding the link precisely because
of a block threat; as Matika's followup and subsequent block shows, the threat was
acted upon.
