Yosemite hantavirus
Thank you for your support. It's been mentioned on the Hantavirus page. It's almost as if there is a conspiracy among a few editors not to allow it onto the Yosemite page itself, as if the mere mention would spoil the reputation of the park itself. That's ridiculous, if it's good enough to mention on the Hantavirus page, it should be mentioned on the Yosemite page as well. Shall we appeal together to an admin? If you write the appeal, I will second it. Just FYI, I was quickly unblocked when somebody realized they had made a mistake. So when I say appeal, I'm talking about the Yosemite hantavirus issue, not my temporary block. 173.63.176.93 (talk) 10:34, 16 September 2012 (UTC)
- Okay, but I'm not exactly sure how to do it. I think if we do it haphazardly without following the rules, it'll just antagonize more people against the idea of including the Hantavirus risk on the Yosemite page. I actually recently suggested yesterday on the Talk:Yosemite_National_Park that there is an argument for including news of the Hantavirus news that defends the Park as well. Yes, the editors may be personally biased, but the arguments they make have merit and make logical sense as well. Airelor (talk) 16:47, 16 September 2012 (UTC)
- I've made a one-sentence draft edit in a subpage User:Airelor/Yosemite_National_Park. Let me know what you think. Airelor (talk) 01:01, 17 September 2012 (UTC)

Sorry, but I'm real reluctant to get into [potential] edit wars -- I've read too many anecdotes of people quitting work on Wikipedia after getting sick and tired of the politics spoiling their contribution experience. There's plenty of uncontroversial stuff for me to work on. I hope this doesn't sour you against editing! Cheers, Wingman4l7 (talk) 23:10, 16 September 2012 (UTC)
- It's okay. Thank you for looking into the matter. Happy editing! Airelor (talk) 23:20, 16 September 2012 (UTC)
