I wish to complain about vamp willow violating blocking policy by blocking aroberts for 24 hours under the auspices of a 3RR violation when in fact no 3RR violation has ocurred.
aroberts edited the England page today, and there followed a minor edit challenge during which aroberts reverted twice and REX reverted to the contrary three times. The 3RR rule states that NO MORE than 3 reverts should be made by one enity, and yet vamp willow has blocked aroberts who reverted only twice. Since when is 2 more than 3?
Vamp Willow happens to agree with REX and disagrees with aroberts, so it looks as if she has acted partially in pursuit if her own POV and against blocking policy with a misguided interpretation of the three revert rule.
Not only that , but also the England page has been protected with the suggestion that differences are resolved on the corresponding talk page. I have always been happy to discuss the matter on the talk page and have incorporated information arising from those discussions into my edits, in the spirit of compromise, but others have reverted against me with no such explanation. How can I follow the advice to sort things out on the talk page if I am blocked? Surely protecting a page and blocking someone from discussing it at the same time is excessive?
That was an official complaint against vamp willow's incorrect blocking of aroberts,
I hope this can be resolved ASAP, thanks
Not that this is the correct place to argue this, but you reverted back to your preferred version three times in 24 hours. The truth is a great place to start.
It's also really freaking wierd to refer to yourself in the third person.

That is allowed under the 3RR. However Vamp Willow claims that the IP address is the same person. Since the only edits by an IP adress within 24 hours of those of Aroberts do not match the version prefered by Aroberts I'm pulling the block. This does not in any way condone Aroberts's actions

Thankyou.
I am concerened that a number of admins, and Vamp Willow in particular, don't seem to be able to understand the difference between the number THREE and the expression "MORE THAN three". I would have thought this kind of simple numeracy capability would be a prerequisite to anyone being considered for admin status. Or perhaps some kind of compulsory induction course could be laid on for them.

Three, four, whatever. If you find yourself in the situation where you need to revert someone else's edits this many times in a day, it means your powers of persuasion on the Talk page are less than optimal. If you find yourself dealing with an intransigent individual, then the best thing to do is to ask others to help out.
