Block: Enacted 6/19/2010 You have been blocked indefinitely from editing for abuse of editing privileges. If you would like to be unblocked, you may appeal this block by adding below this notice the text {{unblock|Your reason here}}, but you should read the guide to appealing blocks first. I am blocking you because you created an article about another user in the middle of an edit war with that user. This encyclopedia must have a minimum amount of integrity that is based on the creation of articles in good faith on encyclopedic topics - and not to use encyclopedia articles as a form of attack against editors.Slrubenstein | Talk 20:48, 19 June 2010 (UTC) First Unblock Request (6/22/2010): Declined 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). Vanished user 2345 (block log • active blocks • global blocks • contribs • deleted contribs • filter log • creation log • change block settings • unblock • checkuser (log)) Request reason: I've thought it over a bit and discussed the matter with my wife some and I'd now like to request that I be unblocked. Before I get to the apology I want to briefly indicate what I'm not conceding, not because I'm trying to be difficult, but because I don't want my statement to be taken as some sort of disingenuous, purely tactical, volte face: I still maintain that the content of the article I wrote concerning SlimVirgin was policy compliant. I further maintain that the article itself would have been a valuable addition to Wikipedia. And I further maintain that I had every intention of going through all the appropriate channels to see the article get into the mainspace, channels that I knew would scrutinize the article quite closely for instances of meanness and other wrong-doing on my part. But even so, after getting one too many raised eyebrows and knowing looks from my wife in our conversations on this matter, I've come to accept that while the article's content may have been innocent, the act of its creation was not. I allowed my long-standing frustrations with another editor, frustrations brought to a head by recent disagreements over the John Polkinghorne article and the ensuing 3RR report, to partially motivate me. Some small part of me got a giddy little thrill from hitting "save page" on my article, for I suspected that some small part of its subject would be irked by it. As such, my actions weren't entirely honorable; I recognize that now. I'm sorry and I won't do it again. Eugene (talk) 18:22, 22 June 2010 (UTC) Decline reason: The ANI discussion is not in favor of unblocking you.  Sandstein  04:57, 23 June 2010 (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. Second Unblock Request (7/29/2010): Declined 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). Vanished user 2345 (block log • active blocks • global blocks • contribs • deleted contribs • filter log • creation log • change block settings • unblock • checkuser (log)) Request reason: It's been more than a month now and, with the "heat of the moment" fully past, I'd like to once again request that I be unblocked. Creating the page on SlimVirgin was a foolish mistake--both in terms of my timing and motives. I understand the community's response (especially now that I'm more fully aware of the background to this matter) and recognize the wisdom implicit in its decision. I've apologized to SlimVirgin personally and I can honestly say that I bear her no ill-will. I think that I have a lot to offer Wikipedia in terms of content and sourcing in my particular area of expertise and I'd be perfectly comfortable submitting to some sort of probationary civility restriction if need be.

Third Unblock Request (11/5/2010): Declined 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). Vanished user 2345 (block log • active blocks • global blocks • contribs • deleted contribs • filter log • creation log • change block settings • unblock • checkuser (log)) Request reason: It's been more than four months now and I'd like to request that I be unblocked. My actions were inapproriate and I can see how they would undermine the project as a whole. I'm sorry. I won't repeat my mistake.
