This user's unblock request has been reviewed by an administrator, who declined the request. Other administrators may also review this block, but should not override the decision without good reason (see the blocking policy).

109.159.72.250 (block log • active blocks • global blocks • contribs • deleted contribs • filter log • creation log • change block settings • unblock • checkuser (log))

Request reason:

This is a grossly inappropriate block, by an involved administrator, who saw earlier saw fit to restore an earlier hiding of my objections to what appears to be canvassing, while leaving the material I objected to in full view. The canvassing issue is currently being discussed at WP:ANI, and such preemption of any decision there cannot possibly be compliant with Wikipedia policy. 109.159.72.250 (talk) 19:21, 16 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Decline reason:

You haven't provided anywhere near enough information to review your block. Yamla (talk) 19:23, 16 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

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.

This user is asking that their block be reviewed:

109.159.72.250 (block log • active blocks • global blocks • contribs • deleted contribs • filter log • creation log • change block settings • unblock • checkuser (log))

Request reason:

To explain in more detail why I see this as a grossly inappropriate block by an involved administrator, see the Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Video games Revision history (where others now seem to be blanking and unblanking material). I posted an objection there to what I saw as canvassing (now being discussed at ANI see Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents#Canvassing by Seadoubleyoujay). After a somewhat fractious debate, someone saw fit to hide my objections to what I saw as canvassing, while leaving the disputed material in full view. I reverted this inappropriate hiding. [1]. Ferret restored it. [2] Given this attempt to impose an entirely inappropriate preemption of WP:ANI on the WikiProject talk page, I then removed the entire thread, which seemed the most appropriate means to settle the matter without pre-empting ANI. [3]

For this I have been blocked by Ferret, an active participant in WikiProject Video games (Ferret has 851 edits to the Wikiproject talk page [4]), who has made 120 edits to the article in dispute - Star Citizen - (making Ferret the top contributor), [5] and 55 edits to the article talk page (again the top contributor). [6] Ferret is clearly WP:INVOLVED, and by their actions has prevented me from participating further in the ANI discussion I initiated. A discussion concerning an article Ferret is the largest contributor to. While I can see that I may have been a little hot-headed in my actions, it cannot surely be appropriate for someone so closely involved with the article in dispute to prevent me participating in this manner. To be frank, I am more than a little disappointed in Ferret, having seen them in action previously (I edit under a dynamic IP, and have thus encountered them previously on the Star Citizen talk page), and having considered them to generally be a source of common-sense. I think perhaps Ferret might do well to reconsider this, and ask whether they too were being hot-headed. 109.159.72.250 (talk) 20:10, 16 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
