Re: Uzel (disambiguation)

It's a pretty standard disambiguation page. Could you elaborate on your concerns?—Ketil Trout (^<><!) 21:46, 9 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I think your tagging concerns for deletion are addressed, so I'm removing your delete tag.M4bwav 22:02, 9 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Re: MyGeneration

Hi, the article isn't about a blog, it's about a piece of software. There's currently a claim of notability in the article, and it doesn't look like blatant advertising to me, so it's not a candidate for speedy deletion. If you still think it should be deleted, you can list it at articles for deletion, although it might be better to discuss the problems you see with the article with its creator. Thanks. - Bobet 22:13, 9 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Request reason:

I have not vandalized wikipedia once. Even if they thought I was, which I wasn't, they never sent me a notice. I'm a victim of being blocked for trying to stop vandalizim.

Decline reason:

All edits appear disruptive, part of a known sock farm. — Yamla 23:10, 14 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

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.
