Talk:Gun politics in the United Kingdom & wikibreak

I'm taking a wikibreak until the 4th or 5th, sorry for the inconvenience, but regarding Talk:Gun politics in the United Kingdom I haven't lost interest, just can't respond for a few days. Looking forward to catching up on the discussion in a few days. Regards, Callanecc (talk • contribs) talkback (etc) template appreciated. 15:02, 30 June 2012 (UTC)

Re your de-prod and comment "We can just find new links". Please do. I tried and couldn't find anything which wikipedia would consider a reliable source--Scott Mac 12:21, 14 October 2012 (UTC)

WikiProject Men's Issues

Ranze proposed a WikiProject Men's Rights: Wikipedia:WikiProject Council/Proposals/WikiProject Men's rights.

I have gone ahead and created a candidate page for WikiProject Men's Issues and will make the page an actual WikiProject page once enough people sign up and give their input. I think it would be useful to have a place where work together to prepare material and arguments to respond to people who try to apply double standards to articles about men's rights.

You have been blocked from editing for a period of 48 hours for edit warring, as you did at [[:Men's rights movement]]. Once the block has expired, you are welcome to make useful contributions. If you think there are good reasons why you should be unblocked, you may appeal this block by adding the following text below this notice: {{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}}. However, you should read the guide to appealing blocks first.

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.  Bbb23 (talk) 15:42, 21 August 2013 (UTC)

This block is made pursuant to Talk:Men's rights movement/Article probation and gives you limited appeal rights. You also cannot be unblocked by another administrator except pursuant to the procedures spelled out on the probation page. In addition to edit warring, the sanction is imposed based on your incivility and your assumptions of bad faith in reverting User:Slp1 with an accusation of vandalism.--Bbb23 (talk) 15:45, 21 August 2013 (UTC)

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).

Request reason:

The blocker automatically assumed the block was in bad faith instead of expediency and hasn't held others to the same standard. I would expect the blocker to have looked at the subject a little more and be asking why the revert from User:Slp1 was justified in the first place? Pleasetry (talk) 22:29, 21 August 2013 (UTC)

Decline reason:

That may have been a great question to ask, instead of labeling it "vandalism". On articles as heavily sanctioned as that one, it's a good idea not to edit war, and not to use antagonistic edit summaries when you do. Kuru (talk) 02:13, 22 August 2013 (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.
