I have been banned unfairly three times. I was first
banned because I

regardless of whether I did break it, I was banned by a sysop (Guarnaco)
involved in an edit war on the page -- this is a gross violation of sysop
rules!
While I happen to agree that violating the three revert rule should be a temp
banable offense, I note with dismay that this is not current policy.
from:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Block_log (oldest first)
05:03, 4 Jun 2004 Guanaco blocked "Editing Saddam Hussein" with an expiry time
of 24 hours (account created for the trolling and violating the three revert
policy - was warned after third revert)
05:03, 4 Jun 2004 Guanaco unblocked "Editing Saddam Hussein" (typo)
05:03, 4 Jun 2004 Guanaco blocked "Editing Saddam Hussein" with an expiry time
of 24 hours (account created for trolling and violating the three revert policy
- was warned after third revert)
22:34, 4 Jun 2004 Guanaco blocked "Sad Ham" with an expiry time of indefinite
(vandalism of [[Saddam Hussein]], illegitimate sockpuppet of Editing Saddam
Hussein)
After I was unbanned by a more reasonably sysop, I was
then immediately
re-banned by RickK -- even though I had not edited any articles!!!!!!!! This
second ban appears to be permanent, YET I HAVE NOT VIOLATED ANY RULES!
As 63.230.159.235, Editing Saddam Hussein, and Sam Ham, you kept adding this to
the top of [[Saddam Hussein]]:
''This page refers to Saddam Hussein as "Saddam"; however, doing so may
be
inapppropriate. See the section below: '''==Hussein's
Name=='''. As a result of
this, the [[NPOV]] of this article is questioned.''
Guanaco and 172 kept removing this message while Everyking and 172 put the
section you wrote about it back into a footnote.
From the ban log:
16:11, 4 Jun 2004 Jamesday unblocked "Editing Saddam Hussein" (unblock after
discussion in IRC where agreed to discuss rather than edit war.)
17:57, Jun 4, 2004 RickK blocked "Editing Saddam Hussein1" with an expiry time
of indefinite (sock puppet trying to cause trouble)
It is completely fallacious, RickKs claim that I am
another user -- that I am
a "sockpuppet". And even if I were, is it a crime? Am I double-voting? Am I
agreeing with my other accounts, and creating false consensus? The answer to
those questions are NO, this is NOT A SOCKPUPPET ACCOUNT.
For a new user you seem to know a lot about us. That alone sends up red flags
for some people. I will therefore let somebody else unblock you.
