| {{unblock | I request to be unblocked as this sentence seems entirely over the top and not befitting my apparent crime. I admit to raising 2 issues at ANI, and I admit to editing on the Carlingford lough page which falls under ] restrictions, but not to the disruptive extent that I had been blocked for. On editing on the page, I had made 4 edits to the page over a period of 3.5 weeks here , , and here . The first 2 edits were discussed here at User:Murry1975 talkpage as this User reverted my first edits, the final 2 edits were discussed were discussed here with the 4th edit and attempt at ] by way of 'Reaching consensus by edits'. My edits can not be described as disruptive. The Carlingford lough page is marinaded in years of edit warring and POV yet I was the first user to raise a DR and RFC to help ease discussion. 2nd issue is that I raised 2 issues at ANI regarding 2 users who were gaming on Carlingford lough page. I did not realise I had to notify them as I assumed this would be done by an admin, and given that my edits were being stalked I did not think about it really. Sorry that this is so long but an indefinite block for an innocent mistake and or edit warring is not warranted.] (]) 21:00, 28 March 2012 (UTC) }} | |||

Hello. In case you didn't know, when you add content to talk pages and Misplaced Pages pages that have open discussion, you should sign your posts by typing four tildes ( ~~~~ ) at the end of your comment. You could also click on the signature button

Hi Gravyring, I received your message about re-opening the DR on this article. I looked back at the DRN and the article talk page. Rather than have me try to guess, could you tell me exactly what your concerns are right now? What changes do you want to make or not have made? If I can help, I will. I do not think re-opening the DRN is a worthwhile option right now. The DRN did mention the possibility of an RfC but that might not bring any better results. If I can, I am happy to help with the article.Coaster92 (talk) 22:19, 2 March 2012 (UTC)
Hi again. Based on your last message on my talk page, I will have a look at the article as a whole then. I will see if I have any suggestions and let you know.Coaster92 (talk) 04:10, 5 March 2012 (UTC)
Hi Gravyring. I found some policies that seem to apply in this case. I left a comment on the article talk page along with the policies. Let's see if there is a response.Coaster92 (talk) 05:06, 6 March 2012 (UTC)
Hi Gravyring. Got your message. I am not an expert on dispute resolution but suggest you review WP:Dispute resolution, WP:Mediation Cabal, and WP:Consensus. It is tricky because these issues generally needed to be resolved by consensus, which is discussed in WP:Consensus (and can take time). Anyhow, let me know your thoughts after you have a chance to review the policies I mentioned. Good luck.Coaster92 (talk) 04:51, 13 March 2012 (UTC)

Blocked
I've blocked this account indefinitely, because you are acting like a POV-pushing single purpose account in a Troubles-related dispute. I note in particular the two wormy ANI reports you've made in the last two days; throwing things against the wall just in hope that something sticks. This subject area is contentious enough when good faith editors have such strong feelings; there's no sense allowing bad faith editors to stir things up even more. --Floquenbeam (talk) 22:56, 27 March 2012 (UTC)
- This block is bogus. Using talkpages is hardly gaming the system. I will appeal as a block of this nature does not warrant the crime.Gravyring (talk) 23:23, 27 March 2012 (UTC)
