User talk:Redmen44

March 2014

You have been blocked from editing for a period of 2 weeks for edit warring. Once the block has expired, you are welcome to make useful contributions. If you think there are good reasons why you should be unblocked, you may appeal this block by adding the following text below this notice: {{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}}. However, you should read the guide to appealing blocks first.

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. D P 17:11, 31 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

This user is asking that his block be reviewed:

Redmen44 (block log • active blocks • global blocks • contribs • deleted contribs • filter log • creation log • change block settings • unblock • checkuser (log))

Request reason:

Why have I been blocked? Once I was warned I stopped and then discussed the issue on the talk pages. I thought the issue was resolved and I apologized for my actions and did not repeat them. I have made very valuable contributions to this site and have learned my lesson. This comes as a shock because I was warned about 3 days ago and I did not edit war again. Please understand that I am not trying to cause problems and when I was warned I stopped warring and discussed. I would like to continue to contribute to this great site so please let me continue to do that. Thank you Redmen44 (talk) 22:43, 31 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Notes:

In some cases, you may not in fact be blocked, or your block has already expired. Please check the list of active blocks. If no block is listed, then you have been autoblocked by the automated anti-vandalism systems. Please remove this request and follow these instructions instead for quick attention by an administrator.
Please read our guide to appealing blocks to make sure that your unblock request will help your case. You may change your request at any time.

If this was caused because of my edits to Bo Ryan's page that is totally unfair. People have edited Bo Ryan's page stating that his current season has ended at the Final Four when in fact the Wisconsin Badgers basketball season is not over yet so until then it should remain TBD like I have edited his page to be. There was no discussion that I was incorrect in doing that. It seems that Bagumba (talk) has some sort of "beef" with me and I do not know why? I respect Bagumba as a very valuable member to this community and only wish some day I can reach his status level. I explain why I reverted the edits on Bo Ryan's page and was never told that I was incorrect. The edits were from different IP address/non-confirmed users and I changed them with an explanation to explain why I did so. If I am warned like I was last week I stopped warring but in this case I reverted edits because I feel that they are correct because the season has not concluded yet and was never advised from Bagumba or anyone else that this was not acceptable. Instead Bagumba reports me to an admin and I get blocked with out warning? Can someone please help? I just want to contribute positively to this site without feeling bullied for making edits and then without warning get blocked. Thanks Redmen44 (talk) 00:12, 1 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

{{reply to|Bagumba|[[User:DangerousPanda|DangerousPanda}} I would like to write both of you to tell you tell you how sorry I am. As I stated above, I was not trying to cause problems on the Bo Ryan page. I was reverting because I thought that was the right thing to do and I was not told otherwise. Wikipedia is a big part of my life and with my condition I don't know how much longer I will have to contribute on this site. I have learned my lesson from my previous block and would like to contribute in more positive way to this site during the short amount of time that I have left. I really hope you both can see how sincere I truly am and therefore reinstate me please. With the time I have left, Bagumba, I really hope we can become Wikipedia friends and as I stated above I truly respect what you do for this site. I have nothing but true remorse here and I hope and pray you both (all) can see that. Thank you for your time. Redmen44 (talk) 12:10, 1 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]
