[WikiEN-l] Wrongful Block

[Jack Lynch]

Actually, I thought I was obeying MGM's voluntary injunction, and acting in an immaculate manner. I had absolutely no clue whatsoever that the edits I was making could be considered reverts by anyone. I had made two reverts the day before, and thought I had made none the day in question. AFAIK I made 2 reverts in a 24hr period, not 4. I can see how one of my edits may be considered a revert, because I did edit an out of date page, but I also inserted what were said on the talk page to be important edits by andreas, the guy who had reverted me. So mmmaybe 3 revets in 24 hrs, but that last was very dubious, since I inserted content from his edits as well. I tend to think this is less a problem w the wording of the policy than it is a situation of an admin attempting to be overly "fair" in response to an email.

This has nothing to do w reversion. If I had reinserted thoise terms, and made other, non-substantive edits, i could understand, but thats not the case here. I went way out of my way to obey the policy, and have been blocked. I insist this is a violation of proper blocking procedure.<br><br>Hmm I'm not sure.
