If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. If you have any questions, you can ask for assistance at the Help Desk. Thanks. Longhair\talk 21:53, 10 November 2018 (UTC)Reply

Request reason:

I'm not a vandal. My edit to the Headquarters of the United Nations page was in good faith. It was automatically identified as vandalism by ClueBot, presumably because the edit involved a significant deletion and my account is new. But human editors seem to agree the edit makes sense: the edit is now in the article as it stands at 22.50 UTC.

Accept reason:

I've unblocked your account. Please accept my apologies. PhilKnight (talk) 23:25, 10 November 2018 (UTC)Reply

Hello Longhair. I assume this reversion was made automatically? I'm not a vandal. (I have previosly edited as an IP address and have finally caved and got an actual account.) I genuinely believe that long list is out of place in the lede of the UNHQ article. Please look at my edit and consider reverting your reversion. Thanks SpaceHamsterBoo (talk) 22:01, 10 November 2018 (UTC)Reply
Yes, I see what you're trying to do now. I'm not the administrator who blocked you so I'll drop a ping to the blocking admin so they can review. @PhilKnight: -- Longhair\talk 22:05, 10 November 2018 (UTC)Reply
I probably should've looked at the situation more closely before reporting to AIV. I'm sorry. funplussmart (talk) 22:08, 10 November 2018 (UTC)Reply
No worries. With hindsight, I shouldn't have made a big deletion as almost the first thing I did with my account. I know vandalism is a constant problem. SpaceHamsterBoo (talk) 22:15, 10 November 2018 (UTC)Reply
You may wish to use the unblock template as described above. funplussmart (talk) 22:17, 10 November 2018 (UTC)Reply
Even though Longhair has alerted the blocking admin? SpaceHamsterBoo (talk) 22:23, 10 November 2018 (UTC)Reply
Because the blocking admin might take a while to respond. Using the template will gain the attention of an admin more quickly. funplussmart (talk) 22:28, 10 November 2018 (UTC)Reply
OK, thanks, I'll go ahead and do that. SpaceHamsterBoo (talk) 22:38, 10 November 2018 (UTC)Reply
