The better the shape the article is in, the easier it is to show that WP:GNG is met. Have a look at the Villa Castelli helicopter crash article and you will see that there is an infobox and the article has a defined structure. Bare urls are not good either. {{infobox aircraft occurrence}} is the infobox template. {{cite web}} is the template to cite websites. Use <ref name=xxxx>{{cite web |url= |title= |publisher= |accessdate=}}</ref> at minimum (you can copy and paste this). Other parameters may be added as required.

March 2015

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war. Users are expected to collaborate with others, to avoid editing disruptively, and to try to reach a consensus rather than repeatedly undoing other users' edits once it is known that there is a disagreement.

Please be particularly aware that Misplaced Pages's policy on edit warring states:

1. Edit warring is disruptive regardless of how many reverts you have made.
2. Do not edit war even if you believe you are right.

In particular, editors should be aware of the three-revert rule, which says that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. While edit warring on Misplaced Pages is not acceptable in any amount and can lead to a block, breaking the three-revert rule is very likely to lead to a block. If you find yourself in an editing dispute, use the article's talk page to discuss controversial changes; work towards a version that represents consensus among editors. You can post a request for help at an appropriate noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases it may be appropriate to request temporary page protection. — Coffee // have a cup // beans // 20:31, 11 March 2015 (UTC)

During a dispute, you should first try to discuss controversial changes and seek consensus. If that proves unsuccessful, you are encouraged to seek dispute resolution, and in some cases it may be appropriate to request page protection.  — Coffee // have a cup // beans // 20:49, 11 March 2015 (UTC)

The warning wasn't a message, it was a warning. Please stop removing warning templates from your userpage. It prevents uninvolved admins from being kept up to date. — Coffee // have a cup // beans // 20:51, 11 March 2015 (UTC)

Request reason:

This action is totally unjustified because I have shown great restraint. I have explained myself for hours and have held back the temptation to edit. In contrast, Coffee keeps slapping the same notice on my user talk page. This shows bad judgment by escalating, not de-escalating the situation. If unblocked, I will remain calm, even become calmer. By doing so, you will maintain order in WP, not try to create mayhem. As far as edit warring, Betty Logan reported me to the AN3 board but another editor came to my defense. That person (Jetstreamer) is not my friend but actually disagrees with me in an AFD but we are both civil and respectful. Since there is no edit warring, please delete Coffee's actions and unblock. Thank you. I will repay your kindness by making your action seem wise (i.e. I will act with the utmost respect and responsibility)

Decline reason:

You were clearly edit warring, for days. While you did discuss on the talk page you failed to gain consensus and continued to edit war. Your unblock request and subsequent comment seem to indicate you blame Coffee for this block. You have not indicated that you will stop edit warring, you were not blocked for lack of calmness. I suggest you wait out this block, if you do decide to make another unblock request please read Misplaced Pages:Guide_to_appealing_blocks and consider that taking some personal responsibility would go a lot farther than blaming others. Chillum 21:03, 11 March 2015 (UTC)

If you want to make any further unblock requests, please read the guide to appealing blocks first, then use the {{unblock}} template again. If you make too many unconvincing or disruptive unblock requests, you may be prevented from editing this page until your block has expired. Do not remove this unblock review while you are blocked.

Coffee, if you unblock me, it will show you are wise because I will be very respectful and act to show that your unblock was wise. Take up this offer because most Wikipedians are not so calm as I am. Having an iron fist may make you feel strong but is not the best way in this case. Wowee Zowee public (talk) 20:56, 11 March 2015 (UTC)

Coffee says that I must keep his message up to keep uninvolved admins up to date. If you want to be up to date, know that the dispute started when Betty Logan attacked me. She/he wants a sanitized, whitewashed, 100% positive Sound of Music article while I wanted to convey that, according to reliable sources, they had a hard time finding a director because the industry thought the film was garbage. The nice thing was the public loved it. WP readers benefit in knowing this.

Burt Lancaster said "Jesus, you must need the money". Another director chased the screenwriter out of his house saying that he didn't want to director this kind of shit.

I have made many suggestions on different ways to say it and tone it down and make it neutral but to the hatred of Betty Logan. Wowee Zowee public (talk) 21:00, 11 March 2015 (UTC)

Chillum, thank you for reviewing this. If you unblock me, you will be doing the right thing. I will give you honor by acting in the utmost upright way. This is the optimal WP way. The common WP way is to be harsh, but that just makes people mad creates drama. Wowee Zowee public (talk) 21:02, 11 March 2015 (UTC)

Chillum, please unblock. I will take your advice 100%. But please unblock. Your kindness in this way will be repaid many times over. Act with an iron fist and that is not what I request. I am sorry that I made you mad by the way I edited. I will work hard to not do it and won't.

Oh, blocks are to prevent disruption, not punishment. If you unblock, I guarantee that I will not disrupt. Therefore, please unblock. Thank you. Wowee Zowee public (talk) 21:07, 11 March 2015 (UTC)

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=To Chillum or others.Chillum, please unblock. I will take your advice 100%. But please unblock. Your kindness in this way will be repaid many times over. Act with an iron fist and that is not what I request. I am sorry that I made you mad by the way I edited. I will work hard to not do it and won't. Oh, blocks are to prevent disruption, not punishment. If you unblock, I guarantee that I will not disrupt. Therefore, please unblock. Thank you.. Oh, I also take 1000% responsibility. I am a worthless piece of shit that should be lynched and killed.  |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.

What exactly do you mean by iron fist and and being repaid? Are you trying some sort of carrot/stick approach here? Chillum 22:29, 11 March 2015 (UTC)

What I mean is that I ask you not to be harsh and act with an iron fist. About being repaid, I mean that goodwill and kindness will be reciprocated in terms of good and careful editing (as well as encouragement to act civilly and nicely to all in WP) so it is for the better of Misplaced Pages.

Think about if the police stop you. For the sake of argument, say you were speeding slightly. Would you prefer getting a warning or a pep talk or for the police to say "you broke the law, I am taking you to jail where you will spend a few hours calling a lawyer, paying for your car to be towed, etc." That may be legal but is heavy handed. Wowee Zowee public (talk) 23:11, 11 March 2015 (UTC)

Not really an accurate comparison. This would be more like if the police warned you to stop speeding but you kept speeding anyways and then they busted you. Chillum 23:15, 11 March 2015 (UTC)

When I wrote that analogy, I was a little concerned because that analogy was not correct. Basically, show a little sympathy and it will be a sign of goodwill, which I will greatly reciprocate to all of Misplaced Pages. Do not try to be tough. Do not try to punish, as this is not what blocking is for. It is to prevent disruption. I promise you that I will do good and not a bit of disruption if you unblock me now rather than make me suffer. The choice is yours......iron fist or not. Thank you. Wowee Zowee public (talk) 23:35, 11 March 2015 (UTC)
