Request reason:

This is a grossly inappropriate block, by an involved administrator, who saw earlier saw fit to restore an earlier hiding of my objections to what appears to be canvassing, while leaving the material I objected to in full view. The canvassing issue is currently being discussed at WP:ANI, and such preemption of any decision there cannot possibly be compliant with Wikipedia policy. 109.159.72.250 (talk) 19:21, 16 March 2020 (UTC)

Decline reason:

You haven't provided anywhere near enough information to review your block. Yamla (talk) 19:23, 16 March 2020 (UTC)

Request reason:

To explain in more detail why I see this as a grossly inappropriate block by an involved administrator, see the Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Video games Revision history (where others now seem to be blanking and unblanking material). I posted an objection there to what I saw as canvassing (now being discussed at ANI see Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents#Canvassing by Seadoubleyoujay). After a somewhat fractious debate, someone saw fit to hide my objections to what I saw as canvassing, while leaving the disputed material in full view. I reverted this inappropriate hiding. [1]. Ferret restored it. [2] Given this attempt to impose an entirely inappropriate preemption of WP:ANI on the WikiProject talk page, I then removed the entire thread, which seemed the most appropriate means to settle the matter without pre-empting ANI. [3] For this I have been blocked by Ferret, an active participant in WikiProject Video games (Ferret has 851 edits to the Wikiproject talk page [4]), who has made 120 edits to the article in dispute - Star Citizen - (making Ferret the top contributor), [5] and 55 edits to the article talk page (again the top contributor). [6] Ferret is clearly WP:INVOLVED, and by their actions has prevented me from participating further in the ANI discussion I initiated. A discussion concerning an article Ferret is the largest contributor to. While I can see that I may have been a little hot-headed in my actions, it cannot surely be appropriate for someone so closely involved with the article in dispute to prevent me participating in this manner. To be frank, I am more than a little disappointed in Ferret, having seen them in action previously (I edit under a dynamic IP, and have thus encountered them previously on the Star Citizen talk page), and having considered them to generally be a source of common-sense. I think perhaps Ferret might do well to reconsider this, and ask whether they too were being hot-headed. 109.159.72.250 (talk) 20:10, 16 March 2020 (UTC)

Decline reason:

Procedural decline as you are no longer blocked.

Not at all. I warned you that you were being disruptive, and you decided to take it further and remove an entire discussion along with comments from several other editors, all of whom disagreed with you about the issue. I have no involvement at all in your current discussions, and it's clear from the article history I've made less than 10 edits to the article in the last 15 months, all vandalism reverts or minor gnome edits. My last comment to the talk page was May 2019. As for the series of blanking/unblanking at WT:VG, that was due to multiple editors trying to undo your blanking at the same time. I leave the rest to the unblock reviewer. -- ferret (talk) 20:22, 16 March 2020 (UTC)

It should be noted that at the time you accused me of being 'disruptive' I was completely unaware that you were an administrator, but fully aware of your editing history regarding the Star Citizen article. Your actions thus appeared to me to be nothing but an attempt to preempt any discussion at WP:ANI over the disputed material, and leave what I see as canvassing in full view, while hiding my objections. Taking sides in a dispute, and imposing your own decision. I can't see that sort of behaviour being acceptable in a non-admin, so why is it acceptable for an admin to do it? 109.159.72.250 (talk) 20:34, 16 March 2020 (UTC)

If what SeeDoubleYouJay did was actually canvassing, then action would have been taken against him. Based on the outcome of the frivolous ANI thread you started though, however nothing has been done. You've chosen to waste the time of other editors via finger pointing, lots of unnecessary passive-aggressiveness, and assuming bad-faith when your arguments are come under question. ANI isn't something you can use as a "weapon" when things don't go your way. Namcokid47 ^(Contribs) 02:26, 18 March 2020 (UTC)

And what, other than unnecessary passive-aggressiveness, led you to post here? What exactly are you expecting to achieve? 109.159.72.250 (talk) 02:46, 18 March 2020 (UTC)

I had actually meant to post this earlier, but for whatever reason I never got around to doing it. Namcokid47 ^(Contribs) 03:08, 18 March 2020 (UTC)

I'm not sure that is much of an answer, but whatever. How about we agree to let it drop? I'm not blocked now, though I'm sure my contributions are being watched. I don't think further comments here are necessary, and frankly I'd prefer to concern myself with other things. What's done is done. 109.159.72.250 (talk) 03:15, 18 March 2020 (UTC)
