Please be careful about making changes to articles - see WP:V. In this case, the reigns are mythical and the lengths very long. Disembrangler (talk) 16:04, 8 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

You have been blocked indefinitely from editing because your account is being used only for vandalism. 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. Acroterion (talk) 04:19, 18 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Request reason:

That the edit that led to the blocking of my account was highly inappropriate is obvious, and I won't dispute the fact that I deserved it. However, I have matured a great deal in the five years since the incident. I truly love knowledge; I've spent a good deal of my free time learning history, mathematics, etc. for no other reason than for the sake of learning. Contributing to the collective knowledge of humanity is one of the noblest of acts, and I deeply respect the Wikipedian community as a result. Evidence of my good intentions and potential usefulness to Wikipedia can be found at my profile pages at other communities devoted to the spread of knowledge, such as Stack Overflow and Mathematics Stack Exchange. The first contribution I plan to make if the block is lifted is to remove the last sentence of Illegal immigration to the United States#Improper Entry, "Livingston Blease defended the criminalization of entry by saying 'to hell with the Constitution!'", as the referenced source [1] implies that Blease actually said this in defense of lynching. (I recognize that this is an awkward choice of edit considering the reason my account was blocked, but I implore you to judge the proposed edit by its merits.) With all of this said, I humbly request that I be allowed to contribute to Wikipedia again. Though I naturally hope my request will be granted, I realize that the community does not owe this to me. If you decide against it, I will bear you no ill will. DestroyerOfSense (talk) 02:37, 4 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Accept reason:

Most people change after five years; I will give you another chance to be a contributor. 331dot (talk) 09:48, 4 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
