[[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.

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.
