The article Dub Journalism has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:
- Apparent hoax. No evidence such a form of journalism actually exists.
While all contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.
You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{dated prod}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.
Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing {{dated prod}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. The speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. ScottyBerg (talk) 20:41, 2 October 2010 (UTC)

Request reason:
Your reason here: I have been in contact with Scotty Berg and the Wiki Press Office about this. I am an independent journalist.
I understand why my article on Dub Journalism was deleted and have no objection to that. However, I strongly object to being called avandal and a troll! My work is no hoax. I represent the British Human Rights organization RESIST CARDIAC ARREST, which was formed to combat the proliferation of torture. The United Nations, on 23rd November 2007, in Portugal, declared the x-26 taser to be an instrument of TORTURE. I believe it is therefore illegal in signatory nations of the UNCAT. In my paper The Limpet, which is available from the environmental protection website savetheholyheadland.blogspot.com I have published my correspondence over this matter of life and Death.
You can find my exchange of letters with the Prime Minister of Britain, my letters to the former Prime Minister, Gordon Brown, my numerous letters to and from my local member of the Westminster Parliament, Mr Andrew George, and my letters to the Chief Constable of Cornwall and Devon Police, in which I detail for him the violatioins of the United Nations Convention Against Torture and the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. A brief perusal of this website will conclusively shew that rather than being a 'hoax' or 'vandalism', these communiques represent a sincere and serious attempt to negotiate with the British Government in an attempt to ratify a vital point of international Human Rights legislation, namely the UNCAT. This work is 100% genuine and is motivated by a desire to save human lives and inhibit the casual spread of torture in the modern World.
I also run a somewhat more surreal paper named The Caterpillar, about which I wrote the Dub Journalism article. Whilst I may have given the impression of being a joker, I can promise you that my work has a core of seriousness, sincerity and Humanitarianism. Therefore I wish to appeal the block against my contributing to Wikipedia. Apart from the following, I also have a very wide general knowledge and could make some genuinely valuable contributions to a host of varied and diverse subjects. Therefore I ask you to unblock my account and see me not as a 'vandal', but as a serious writer. I appreciate your cooperation over this. If you need a reference for the genuineness of my work, please contact Mr Andrew George MP, at the House of Commons, Westminster, LONDON W1. With all best wishes, Jeremy Schanche, a.k.a. Pat Vulgata
Decline reason:
As far as I can tell, all you've done here is promote yourself and your favored causes. Wikipedia is not a soapbox; there's certainly a better place for you to continue your efforts against tasers and environmental destruction. --jpgordon::==( o ) 14:06, 9 October 2010 (UTC)
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.
I wish to appeal to the editors against the block by jpgordon on the following grounds. I have been accused of vandalism whereas I am trying to be creative and life-sustaining. Nothing I have published is a hoax, as accused. 'Trolling' is not a concept I am familiar with, and essentially, none of these accusations have been explained to me or expanded upon. When I mentioned my projects in a wiki article, I was motivated by Humanitarian and creative impulses - there was no attempt to deceive or defraud anyone. I feel I have been treated in a summary and unfair manner and request that the matter be reconsidered. I am new to wiki, and as a result of this business, now have a clear understanding of it's purpose and methodology. I therefore feel that I deserve to be given another chance. I now understand your terms and will be aware of them. If allowed back in, any future contributions I make will adhere strictly to your guidelines. I think the folks at Wiki should show some faith and trust and let me back in. Best wishes, Pat Vulgata
