Request reason:

{{Unblock - Why have I been blocked from editing? I've only been doing this for a CIA history class and have done nothing harmful to any pages. All of my edits were done from primary sources within declassified CIA documents so everything was factually accurate and actually improved each page that I edited. I need to be unblocked right away in order to continue with my class. I have been given no reason for being blocked.}} John from Idegon (talk) 23:48, 22 March 2017 (UTC)Reply

Decline reason:

You've been blocked for abusing multiple accounts. In your next unblock request, I suggest you address this reason. PhilKnight (talk) 00:05, 23 March 2017 (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.

PhilKnight: This has something to do with a kerfuffle on a class assignment thing. I doubt this user is abusing multiple accounts. See the block and the SPI referenced there. Also, Amortias is working on another piece of this. John from Idegon (talk) 00:10, 23 March 2017 (UTC)Reply

{{ unblock - That is a vague accusation. How have I abused accounts? Is it because I am part of a class that has been editing these accounts for a few months now? You suggest that I address this reason, but I suggest you put concrete accusations before me so I can dispute them. As long as you are putting forth vague terms and accusations you can simply keep saying that I did something wrong and never give me something tangible. All of our edits have been using primary sources from either the CIA's website or the NSA archive website, and all documents are authentic. Each edit is only a few sentences long in order to allow the other students to add something. I understand if that is a headache for you all, and I understand if our instructor didn't go through the proper bureaucratic channels, but it is the students who are being punished. With all that being said, I don't understand how a group of 20 people adding valuable information to historical CIA pages is such egregious action.}}
