| :I really don't see what's political about it. We already mention French comments in the run up to the vote, and the bombings did cause a big shock.. Let's discuss this at ] and see what others think. ] (]) 14:59, 20 August 2008 (UTC) | |||
| If an owl ate 100 rats to get its name in the papers does it make sense for the tabloids to print its name or would that just encourage more owls to do the same? And if people wanted to try and create divisions in Europe then they may well chose to manipulate information which is widely viewed to do this - however irrelevant and off topic this may be. As said previously, this page should not include any political statements or statements off topic. Please create a separate page for doing this if you feel strongly about them. '''Bold text''' This page is to do with 2012 Summer Olympics and should not be used to promote political statements or actions. This is what the the Olympics stands for. | |||
| :I'm sorry I simply don't understand your argument - and could you possibly copy it to the article talkpage so more people can see it. You've left in various statements about French commetns in the run up to the vote, but taken this out, and stuff about the London bombings. It's not trying to create European divisions, merely reporting reaction at the time of the vote. On the article talkpage, I've just added I whole series of links from ], which is not a tabloid, and not exactly known for its anti-European sentiment. ] (]) 15:30, 20 August 2008 (UTC) | |||
| ::Please see ], you should not delete others' commetns from a talk page, unless someone is clearly vandalising. ] (]) 16:36, 20 August 2008 (UTC) | |||

I had a bunch to say, but the key point I want to address to both of you is: please take a deep breath, and go for a walk.

Please be more careful to ] or seek ] rather than engaging in an ]. If you believe this block is unjustified, you may ] by adding the text <!-- Copy the text as it appears on your page, not as it appears in this edit area.

I have now taken time and read wikipedias policies and will make sure to abide by the rules|decline=It seems unlikely that 9 minutes is enough time to review all of the relevant policies that you have broken recently.

| {{unblock reviewed|I was blocked for violating the three revert rule. I apologize for this and promise not to do it again. If unblocked, I'm not going to continue reverting. Instead, I will attempt to find a compromise on the talk page, and if that doesn't work, I'll try dispute resolution. | |||
| The blocking policy states that blocks are not a punishment, but a means to prevent future problems. Because I've promised not to cause any more problems, my block no longer serves a purpose allowed by the blocking policy. Therefore, I request to be unblocked.|2=Ok, fair enough, but this is an exceedingly short block already (virtually all blocks are over 24H, especially 3RR ones), and what's more, 3RR blocks are designed to create respite in edit wars. The fact that you want to jump right back into the dispute (albeit without revert-warring) makes me think it's better to let the last few hours remain on the block. ]]<sup>]</sup> 23:53, 20 August 2008 (UTC)}} | |||
| *Unblock requests are handled by neutral admins. You're right blocks aren't a punishment, they're used when there is potential damage to the project. Edit warring is always regarded as damage. My advice to you is to sit out the block, do use the time to study a little more about editing wikipedia and come back making a positive contribution to the project. That enthusiasm of yours is very welcome, but please channel it into finding agreement with other editors and not edit warring. cheers ] (]) 23:15, 20 August 2008 (UTC) | |||
