Hey, MiJ. I took a look at the thread you asked me to look at, and while it certainly does appear that many of your changes were indeed improvements, SabreBD also makes a good point about making multiple significant changes too quickly (especially for a newer editor such as yourself). Images should "face" the text, so if a person is looking to their right, then the image should be right justified. Also, avoid adding images that sandwich text. Having said that, I can see why the reversion has frustrated you, as you obviously worked really hard on the article. I suggest that you gradually introduce your desired changes, so that contentious edits can be reverted as they occur, versus a wholesale reversion of two-weeks work, which in general, I don't agree with; however, I also have no desire to get in between you and SabreBD in this content dispute, as I've had more then enough of this type of Wikipedia argumentation.

FWIW, I know SabreBD to be a level-headed, good-intentioned, and skilled editor, so I advise you to do your best to work with him, not against him. You both want the article to be improved, so it shouldn't be too difficult to find some common ground.

Start with specifics, like Gulla; is it 2001 or 2009? If you can demonstrate specific sourcing issues, then perhaps your comments will hold more weight. Hope this has been helpful, cheers! GabeMc ^{(talk|contribs)} 23:42, 24 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Big thanks for replying.

"Also, avoid adding images that sandwich text." -- there's much less sandwiching of text in my revision than in the current one, if I'm not mistaken.

"Start with specifics, like Gulla; is it 2001 or 2009?" I have the original source, and it was clearly published in 2009.

I've now revised my version and concluded that it improves on the current revision in any aspect. What are your thoughts? Are there any specific problems with my version? In a nutshell, these are the changes that I made:

Improved sourcing -- corrected the page numbers. Substituted many online sources with books (WP:RS).
Added detail.
Rewrote the lead. It needed to be done from scratch.
Removed redundant references.
Made some corrections per comments from the failed FAC.

Again, thanks for replying. MadeinJapan (talk · contribs) 23:52, 24 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Like I said above, I have no interest in getting in the middle of this content dispute. Bring these points up with SabreBD at the Zep talk page, and remember that working on Wikipedia means compromising. Cheers! GabeMc ^{(talk|contribs)} 00:07, 25 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Unblock

This user is asking that their block be reviewed:

MadeinJapan (block log • active blocks • global blocks • contribs • deleted contribs • filter log • creation log • change block settings • unblock • checkuser (log))

Request reason:

Sabrebd (talk · contribs) is a disruptive editor who does not care about contributing to Wikipedia at all. Twice, he undid my two weeks worth of work, citing image size problems (which is something that you can fix in a few minutes) as the reason. Now, he's going to gradually add stuff from my revision back to the article so he can get credit for improving it. And I got blocked for actually contributing to the article ([1], [2]). Big thanks for that one. MadeinJapan (talk · contribs) 18:22, 3 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Notes:

In some cases, you may not in fact be blocked, or your block has already expired. Please check the list of active blocks. If no block is listed, then you have been autoblocked by the automated anti-vandalism systems. Please remove this request and follow these instructions instead for quick attention by an administrator.
Please read our guide to appealing blocks to make sure that your unblock request will help your case. You may change your request at any time.

Administrator use only:

If you ask the blocking administrator to comment on this request, replace this template with the following, replacing "blocking administrator" with the name of the blocking admin:
