WHINSEC

[edit]

Dear EDJO97, will you please refrain from removing information about the School of the Americas on the WHINSEC page? As User:Wikidemon asserted in an edit comment, it is well established that WHINSEC is the direct successor to the SoA, so its history should be covered in the article and summarized in the lead.

I also removed some of your edits regarding protests, since they seems to contain OR. Also, please avoid terms like "our hemisphere" to achieve a worldwide viewpoint. Qwertyus (talk) 17:40, 6 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

This user's unblock request has been reviewed by an administrator, who declined the request. Other administrators may also review this block, but should not override the decision without good reason (see the blocking policy).

EDJO97 (block log • active blocks • global blocks • contribs • deleted contribs • filter log • creation log • change block settings • unblock • checkuser (log))

Request reason:

All I am doing is stating the facts about the WHINSEC, and sticking to WIKI Policy. I find the notes and writting from Qwertyus biased and I think that there should be a mediation process about this page. My only point is to create a second page with the information about the School of the Americas, so that there ispeople don't get confused. Additionally, I believe that Qwertyus has a hidden agenda to promote SOAW beliefs onto those pages, which is clearly agains policy in this group.Verba et Facta 16:50, 7 May 2013 (UTC)EDJO97Verba et Facta 16:50, 7 May 2013 (UTC)

Decline reason:

No attempt to address the reason for the block, which was "Over a period of five months you have continued to edit war to try to ensure that an article promotes the point of view that you prefer, and suppress any content which does not support that point of view. By your own testimony, your intention is to present only what "official" sources say, but that is totally contrary to Wikipedia policy." -- Boing! said Zebedee (talk) 18:04, 7 May 2013 (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.

Funny - so the only valid point is yours and QWERTYUS? Very much a intelectual dictatorship here. By Spinning the facts, you diminish your credibility. I could care less about official, I do care about facts. and If the WIKI project is to be a success, we need to hang on to truth and not hidden agendas.— Preceding unsigned comment added by EDJO97 (talk • contribs) 20:01, 7 May 2013‎ (UTC)[reply]

You were not blocked by Qwertyus, and I have no idea what Qwertyus' opinion is about anything. The comments I reproduced (which you had deleted along with the block notice) were from the blocking admin, User:JamesBWatson. I have no comment to make about the content disagreement - but prolonged edit warring is not acceptable, regardless of whether you are right or wrong about the content, and you will need to address that if you want an early unblock. -- Boing! said Zebedee (talk) 20:12, 7 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the insight - But how do I go by adressing it? I came across the page doing an investigation for a political science paper - it dawn on me to do more research, so I did. What I have found out is that the paper is extremely biased against the school. If it were a tad more balanced, I would have no issues - but this is WIKIPEDIA, every one uses it for reference. Unbalanced pages, are like watching Fox news. I was just trying to make the page better ( Official or Partial, are two things that should not be in these pages...correct? )

Discussion on the article talk page and consensus is the way to go, and if that doesn't work you should try the steps described at WP:DR. If you post another unblock request agreeing to do that and to not engage in any further edit warring, another admin will review it. -- Boing! said Zebedee (talk) 20:33, 7 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
