Request reason:

If I have made any personal attacks against any editor, I apologize to them and to Wikipedia. That was not my intention. I assume this has to do with my remarks about 22spears's edits. I have not accused 22spears of being a pedophile nor have I implied that they are. My analysis of their edits is that 22spears is editing with a pro-pedophilia point of view. I stand by that analysis and invite other users to take a look at 22spears contributions and come to their own conclusions. What can I do to get unblocked? MrPinkingShears (talk) 23:08, 14 May 2023 (UTC)

Accept reason:

There is a clear consensus from a number of editors, including numerous admins, both on your talk page and at the ANI thread, that you should be unblocked. Ritchie333 ^{(talk) (cont)} 11:23, 15 May 2023 (UTC)

@Bbb23: Given that 22spears is now indef blocked for apparent pro-pedophilia POV pushing), do you have any objections to an unblock here? – Joe (talk) 07:44, 15 May 2023 (UTC)

• This was a bad block, and should be lifted asap. Boing! said Zebedee (talk) 08:07, 15 May 2023 (UTC)

The justification for this block isn't really clear to me either. 331dot (talk) 08:43, 15 May 2023 (UTC)

I think there's a genuine question to be raised at how quickly some administrators have been jumping to indef blocks when an escalation of warnings and smaller blocks would suffice. ⛵ WaltClipper -(talk) 14:16, 16 May 2023 (UTC)

Well, Wikipedia:Administrative action review is an option, but at least this particular issue seems to have been solved in less than 24h. Gråbergs Gråa Sång (talk) 14:51, 16 May 2023 (UTC)

A barnstar for you!
