You have been blocked from editing for a period of 1 week for abuse of editing privileges. 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.  Doc James (talk · contribs · email) (if I write on your page reply on mine) 07:15, 18 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Request reason:

posting that jimmy has put weight on - a week block really? (Personal attacks or harassment) - for this comment - [1]

Decline reason:

As it happens, I would have blocked you indefinitely on the grounds it seems you are not here to build an encyclopedia. In this context, I am declining your request to be unblocked. PhilKnight (talk) 15:58, 18 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]


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.

Your other comments also raise concern [2]. We are not here to comment on other users. And you added it twice. Doc James (talk · contribs · email) (if I write on your page reply on mine) 07:54, 18 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]
But the points Tuscantreat was making were completely valid - the repeated insertion of content that was being given undue weight and with a lack of an edit summary. And Drmies [3] agreed with the undue weight point. PhilKnight's not here to build an encyclopedia assertion is not there. Tiptoethrutheminefield (talk) 15:52, 19 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Blocked for a week for advising Jimmy Wales that he is fat, looks unhealthy, and needs to do something about it! And almost blocked forever!! Yes the comment had nothing to do with any Wikipedia article, but Wales's talk page is full of off-topic stuff that has nothing to do with specific Wikipedia articles, and often nothing even to do with Wikipedia. The threat to give an indefinite block is completely over the top and is just the sort of thing that reinforces every bad opinion about Wikipedia that is out there.
