Welcome to Wikipedia. We invite everyone to contribute constructively to our encyclopedia. However, adding content without citing a reliable source, as you did to Ibanez, is not consistent with our policy of verifiability. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. Thank you. Tlesher 13:08, 26 June 2007 (UTC)
This is the only warning you will receive for your disruptive edits. If you vandalize Wikipedia again, as you did to Ibanez, you will be blocked from editing. Vandalized same page twice in 10 minutes ChrisLamb 13:21, 26 June 2007 (UTC)
Please do not add content without citing reliable sources, as you did to Ibanez S. Before making potentially controversial edits, it is recommended that you discuss them first on the article's talk page. Thank you. ChrisLamb 13:26, 26 June 2007 (UTC)

Request reason:
There was no true vandalism going on. And after I was requested to provide sources for my information, I did. After fulfilling such requests it was deleted because I was told I was pushing a "POV"
regardless if my POV matches the facts that I did indeed back up my post with links and quotes DIRECTLY from the company's site.
I feel the admins either
over-stepped their bounds
don't understand the subject I was speaking about
or
just trying to pad up their "hit count'
Either way this isn't garnering support for those that say Wikipedia has changed for the worse.
Decline reason:
I understand your frustration, but I am afraid I cannot unblock you at this time. Read up on WP:POV during your block, which will end soon. — Alison ☺ 15:53, 26 June 2007 (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.
This is getting kinda ridiculous
I know admins and such get "Awards" for blocking spam and Vandalism, which they should, but some competitive people might mark something as vandalism without actually UNDERSTANDING the subject.
I've seen my posts being blocked SECONDS after I've made them. This really shows how much though went into such decision.
My point in post said Ibanez info was to INFORM those interested in Ibanez guitars, ESP the S series, that it was no longer the same as it used to be. This isn't an OPINION. And I was forcing nothing.
I did give the opinions of the customers and their reaction to Ibanez doing such things. I am A BIG FAN of Ibanez guitars. I have owned 12 over the past decade. I would never try to vandalize any such web page.
Someone even attempting to say otherwise is making knee-jerk decisions without knowing what is going on.
I attempted to fix the problems I was asked to fix, and that still wasn't good enough.
I think the admins/mods need to take a bit more time reviewing said article before making a decision. Less than a minute, or mer seconds isn't time enough. Unless of course you are just trying to rack up "browny points"
Which seems the case of those labeling it vandalism. I am going to go home, write from scratch a complete review of this guitar, following all the rules and submit it. If it gets deleted, then there is something fishy going on.
After reading Wiki's POV link I was given, I did NOT go against such points. This again shows said admin didn't take the time to find out if I was doing so or not, and just assumed.
