He's changed, like I said.

There is no list for Simple English Wikipedia, I am calling for his unblock 
on both wikis. (<offtopic>And I definitely did _not_ mean to say WR is 
pointless, I put the word pointless and wanted to put "involved in this 
case, and drama here is" between "is" and "pointless" and I forgot to do it. 
Sorry, but I think WR is okay, it isjust some of the posters.</offtopic>) If 
you mean unblock-l, I thought that was for unblocking yourself.
