I see your point now, I can however see no reason for the block. Stop closing the vote as it is actually still running, and even if the guideline says something, you can ignore it if you see it makes sense for wikipedia (i.e. I contacted the experts, linguists and they started voting). Moreover, the guideline is not a policy and you are disrupting the vote by unallowing people to participate in it, even if they would (4 new votes in last 3 hours - where is the sense in closing an ongoing vote?). You being an admin doesn't make me obey you if I believe you are disrupting the process of creating a consensus. I wanted to post you on the AN/I, but your block came across. ] 23:53, 6 July 2006 (UTC) | |||

A straw poll is just a tool for quickly probing opinions. Straw polls should not have opening and closing times as votes do. Instead, just give everybody a chance to chip in with a simple yes or no.

Interested in becoming a regular contributor to Misplaced Pages? Create an account! Your IP address, To have your own user pages, keep track of articles you've edited in a watchlist, and have access to a few other special features, please consider registering an account! It's fast and free. (Note: Sometimes, due to vandalism, you may be temporarily unable to register). Applying an indefinite block to this IP is not appropriate, unless it is a soft block, because the IP address will later be reallocated to a different, unrelated, and unsuspecting user, thereby impairing access to Misplaced Pages in an inappropriate fashion. Caution should be used when blocking this IP or reverting its contributions without checking. The best approach is to determine the CIDR IP numerical address range and make a higher-level decision to soft-block the entire range. http://www.arin.net/ (for approximately North America) and related sites can help to identify that range. Caution is advised when applying a range block as other Wikipedians, both registered and otherwise, may be affected.
Review contributions carefully if blocking this IP address or reverting its contributions. If a block is needed, administrators should consider a soft block using Template:Anonblock. Network administrators, to monitor this IP address for vandalism, can subscribe to a web feed of this page in either RSS or Atom format. |

This user is asking that their block be reviewed:
85.70.5.66 (block log • active blocks • global blocks • contribs • deleted contribs • filter log • creation log • change block settings • unblock • checkuser (log))
Request reason:
Please provide a reason as to why you should be unblocked.Change
{{unblock}}
to {{unblock | reason=your reason here ~~~~}}
Notes:
- In some cases, you may not in fact be blocked, or your block has already expired. Please check the list of active blocks. If no block is listed, then you have been autoblocked by the automated anti-vandalism systems. Please remove this request and follow these instructions instead for quick attention by an administrator.
- Please read our guide to appealing blocks to make sure that your unblock request will help your case. You may change your request at any time.
If you ask the blocking administrator to comment on this request, replace this template with the following, replacing "blocking administrator" with the name of the blocking admin:
{{Unblock on hold |1=blocking administrator |2=original unblock reason |3 = ~~~~}}
If you decline the unblock request, replace this template with the following code, substituting {{subst:Decline reason here}}
with a specific rationale. Leaving the decline reason unchanged will result in display of a default reason, explaining why the request was declined.
{{unblock reviewed |1=original unblock reason |decline = {{subst:Decline reason here}} ~~~~}}
If you accept the unblock request, replace this template with the following, substituting Accept reason here
with your rationale:
{{unblock reviewed |1=original unblock reason |accept = accept reason here ~~~~}}

- Commander Keane, I am really sorry, but I don't want to wear any block (and according to WP policies, I shouldn't have to and you should help me) that was given for nonsense reason. Would you like to pay a fine anytime some policeman decides you just have to without any reason. Quote from WP:STRAW:

- The people are still voting, 4 votes in last 3 hours, and that one blocks me because he decided that it should be strictly one weak only. Theres not a word in the guideline about duration and the people are still voting, he is the one who is disrupting it.
