I'm confused. Cokea

Can someone explain to me what I did? Why can't I edit articles? I didn't mean to valdalize and this is my only account. I can give an email if that helps.Cokea

You had been reported as a vandal and subsequently blocked. Upon further examination and discussion with the blocking admin, we realized that you should be unblocked and that no vandalism had occurred. You should be able to edit now. If not, it means you are caught in a 24 hour autoblock. Very sorry for the inconvenience. Toddst1 (talk) 17:59, 24 July 2009 (UTC)

But I can't edit right now -- says I'm blocked. I won't touch the BQ article again -- I just thought it wasn't very nice. Cokea
