Chris Gibson

Hi! I worked on the Chris Gibson article on various things, including renaming it to the usual format and then fixing the pages which linked to it. It appears you didn't know there's an election article about his campaign, and that's where some of that material belongs so it's all in one place. I noticed (via the WorldCat link I added) that's he's written other books, although I don't know how to find the ISBN numbers for them as the books aren't on Amazon. You might want to try to track them down and add to the Works section. Flatterworld (talk) 18:25, 21 October 2010 (UTC)

Also, the lede includes the major current position. For a US Rep, it's being a US Rep. For a candidate, it's being a candidate. We don't include both, as that's covered in the election section. The lede is intended to be brief. Flatterworld (talk) 18:34, 21 October 2010 (UTC)

Please do not add commentary or your own personal analysis to Wikipedia articles, as you did to Chris Gibson. Doing so violates Wikipedia's neutral point of view policy and breaches the formal tone expected in an encyclopedia. Thank you. Arbor832466 (talk) 17:23, 1 November 2010 (UTC)

What I added was not personal commentary but rather a brief summation of what my sources were saying about Gibson and his chances.

You have been blocked from editing for a period of 24 hours for edit warring, as you did at Chris Gibson (New York politician). During a dispute, you should first try to discuss controversial changes and seek consensus. If that proves unsuccessful you are encouraged to seek dispute resolution, and in some cases it may be appropriate to request page protection. Once the block has expired, you are welcome to make useful contributions. If you would like to be unblocked, you may appeal this block by adding below this notice the text {{unblock|Your reason here}}, but you should read the guide to appealing blocks first.

This user's unblock request has been reviewed by an administrator, who declined the request. Other administrators may also review this block, but should not override the decision without good reason (see the blocking policy).

Request reason:

I was reverting only in response to a users unilateral blanking of a section, I also engaged in good faith discussion on the topic (I also stopped reverting when I realized we were edit warring-which is why the other editor's version is the current one). I have asked the other user repeatedly to improve rather than blank the article. Also I will note that while my recent edits have been heavily centered around Chris Gibson and his opponents articles this is because my time and Wikipedia expertise is limited and these are local candidates whose articles have received little attention and had either poorly made articles ( Scott Murphy, whose article was a mess) and Chris Gibson (New York politician) (who had no article at all) . I would also note that contrary to the other editors assertion my edits on Scott Murphy have improved the article and in no way highlighted or even added any negatives. I look foward to hearing from you! Theeagleman (talk) 18:59, 1 November 2010 (UTC)

Decline reason:

This was textbook editwarring on WP:BLP's. I don't have any position on the content of your additions, except to note that you may want to limit yourself to talk page discusssions until a firm consensus has been formed. Kuru (talk) 19:32, 1 November 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.
