Ugg boots

Please do not insert fiction into articles, as you did in Ugg boots. -- Hoary (talk) 16:30, 5 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Uh-oh, I screwed up when I blocked you. Sorry! As a token apology, this here's a wattle, the emblem of our land. You can stick it in a bottle or you can hold it in your hand. -- Hoary (talk) 01:17, 6 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

You have been temporarily blocked from editing for abuse of editing privileges. Once the block has expired, you are welcome to make constructive contributions. If you believe this block is unjustified, you may contest the block by adding the text {{unblock|Your reason here}} below, but you should read our guide to appealing blocks first.

{{unblock|I was blocked after a request from Hoary to not insert fiction in to my articles. This was because I added a note about Ugg boots in an improper place (at the top of the page). After this request I moved my note to the Design section of the Ugg boots page and also included a cited reference link WITH the proper template. Because of the fact that I cooperated with the request and moved my information to the proper area with citing I do not believe that I deserve to be blocked for my actions. I feel that the user who initiated the block may have had personal bias and thusly refused to acknowledge my citing and cooperation. Thanks for the feedback, I only regret that this couldn't have been worked out without having to take administrative action.}} Jakeh89 (talk) 17:30, 5 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Your request to be unblocked has been granted for the following reason(s):

I (blocking admin) screwed up this time. See below. -- Hoary (talk) 01:00, 6 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Request handled by: Hoary (talk) 01:00, 6 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Unblocking administrator: Please check for active autoblocks on this user after accepting the unblock request.

16:23/16:25: You change Ugg boots to make it seem that they're made of kangaroo rather than sheepskin. (This goes against the accepted understanding, and you provide no evidence to back you up.)
16:29: I revert your edits.
16:30: I warn you not to do this again.
16:35: You started a set of edits that look intelligent and constructive, now that I reread them when wide awake. Oops! -- Hoary (talk) 01:00, 6 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

@Hoary: Thank you very much, I didn't mean to stir up any trouble, I only meant to point out some variations of the designs. Only after you pointed it out to me did I notice my initial error. Again, sorry for the trouble and thank you for taking the time to unblock me. Jakeh89 (talk) 01:49, 6 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Not at all. From now I'll try to remember not to go around blocking people while I'm half asleep. Of course you're free to delete as much or as little as you like of what appears above on this talk page of yours. -- Hoary (talk) 06:01, 6 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
