User talk:210.6.209.89

Materialscientist has blocked me. I did not perform any disruptive editing. Materialscientist has acted in a manner noncompliant with wikipedia policies.

In response to the massage on my talk page

I see that you have been blocked for a week, but in response to your question: You were bold and archived some of the talk page messages, you were reverted by several editors. As per WP:BRD the next step is discussion, where you discuss the changes you have attempted to implement until there is a general consensus. Hopefully during the week banning you can take some time to get a better understanding of Wikipedia processes. If you have any questions after you come back you know where to find me.

That wasn't bold, I acted in accordance with wikipedia guidelines and at your suggestion. I cannot discuss the changes because I cannot edit the talk page due to the block.

You might want to read WP:BRD, being bold isn't used in the same sense as in regular conversation. The more literal discription would be: You edited, you were reverted, discuss and reach consensus. Greyjoy ^talk 16:08, 6 March 2020 (UTC)

I've read WP:BRD. I can't continue to discuss due to the block. I had already ceased archiving. Furthermore, Materialscientist never contacted me to warn me before the block, nor to ask me any questions. That isn't compliant with wikipedia policies.

I am aware that you can't discuss at the moment. The question you asked was what the next step is after people have reverted your edits. This was the answer. Obviously the updated advice is now "wait a week, and then discuss." I am not going to comment on the block process as that is not an area I have any experience/interest in. Greyjoy ^talk 16:12, 6 March 2020 (UTC)

So I will continue to discuss on the talk page with the people who reverted my changes and blocked me? And I have to wait a week to be able to do so? And if they continue to revert and block me? There are a very large number of incorrect statements on the wikipedia page. Is there anyone else I can ask about what to do about this?210.6.209.89 (talk) 16:26, 6 March 2020 (UTC)

Yes, you will have to discuss it with the people who reverted it, thats how the discuss part of BRD works. You can look at the other approaches here, but as a general rule if you have a point of view and several editors disagree with you, you probably will not be able to implement your changes. They did not block you, Materialscientist was not involved in the conversation as far as I can tell. Yes, you have to wait a week. Thats how being blocked from editing for a week works. Greyjoy ^talk 16:29, 6 March 2020 (UTC)

I have reviewed the policies on consensus. If there is someone else who can help, I would appreciate it. A week is a very long time. It's actually even worse if Materialscientist was not involved. What if he blocks me again? He didn't even provide an explanation. I wasn't involved in disruptive editing. And in the future, if people not involved in the discussion block me? This is wikipedia's system? Again, if there is anyone who can help I would appreciate it. 210.6.209.89 (talk) 16:41, 6 March 2020 (UTC)

Many would argue that the banning admin should not be involved to ensure neutrality. However, you have the right to appeal a block. Some recommended reading here Appealing a block and Guide to appealing blocks. Greyjoy ^talk 16:44, 6 March 2020 (UTC)

I think I can predict how that will go. I'll wait a week, return to the discussion, and likely get banned again. Wikipedia appears to be a closed system. 210.6.209.89 (talk) 16:45, 6 March 2020 (UTC)

In the meantime, the talk page has a question to you about WP:COI. You can use the waiting time to answer that on this talk page. It's OK to have a conflict of interest, but if you have one, the expectation is less editing in the areas of COI and more talk page discussion to gain consensus for proposed changes.

It would be worse if an administrator who was involved in the discussion blocked you. That would constitute an abuse of the administrator's tools. Administrators should never use their tools against an editor with whom they are in a dispute. An administrator's job is to preserve the stability of the project, so if an administrator perceives disruptive behavior, then tools can be employed to prevent the disruption, such as blocking users or protecting articles. ~Anachronist (talk) 16:46, 6 March 2020 (UTC)

I am in full compliance with wikipedia's policies on COI, and I was in full compliance at the time the block was placed. I answered multiple times on the talk page that I am in full compliance. 210.6.209.89 (talk) 16:51, 6 March 2020 (UTC)

Young Blood Transfusion Talk Page Edit Requests

I have posted 16 edit requests on the young blood transfusion talk page. In the middle of discussion, I was banned by Materialscientist for 1 week. I was archiving old discussions on the talk page in accordance with wikipedia's policies. If anyone wants to discuss the 16 edit requests, I would be happy to do so here, as I cannot currently edit the talk page. 210.6.209.89 (talk) 16:49, 6 March 2020 (UTC)

@Materialscientist: Would you elaborate on the reasons for the duration of this block? ~Anachronist (talk) 16:50, 6 March 2020 (UTC)
