i would like to appologise, the changes that were made wre not by me personllay, one of my collegues knew that i had an account and they were messing arround on it, as you can see the name harry bath-barranco was in one of the pages, he presumed that whatever he wrote would just automatically be chaged back, if you would please grant me back a fully functioning account, then i would prevent this happening in the future and would promptly change my password. in the last few days i have seen two pages that i would like to edit, for proper reasons.

Decline reason:

Temporarily declined pending 2nd-chance template below. Tan | 39 15:57, 19 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Propose some significant and well researched improvements to your article by editing your personal copy of the article. Please note that we are not looking for basic typo corrections, or small unreferenced additions; your edits should be substantial, and reflect relevant policies.
When you are done with your work, re-request unblocking and an administrator will review your proposed edits.
- If we (including the original blocking admin) are convinced that your proposed edits will improve Wikipedia as an encyclopedia, you will be unblocked.

= Glyn Technology School =

Glyn Technology School is a single sex comprehensive secondary school that teaches boys from the ages of 11-18. It is situated in the borough of Epsom and Ewell, in the outlying suburbs of London.

History

It started as Glyn Grammar School for Boys, becoming comprehensive in 1985.

In 2003 construction of the a new building started at the school and was officially opened in 2005 by the Duke of Kent. This building was named the Turner Wing after the then current headteacher Mr Turner. He retired in 2006 after being Headmaster for 20 years. Glyn's sixth headteacher is Jon Chaloner who joined in September 2006, from Easthampsted Park School in Bracknell. At the same time an Old Boy, Douglas French, was appointed Chairman of the Governors.

Glyn's home sporting fixtures are played at Priest Hill on the Reigate Road.

Houses

There are seven houses at Glyn Technology School, which all have their own colour stripes on the students ties. They are: Abbey; Bourne; Carew; Derby; Merton; St.Benet and Tudor. Which have the colours light blue, black, red, green, blue, purple and yellow respectively. Each house in Glyn competes in house competitions such as basketball, football, rugby, table tennis, etc.

Controversy

The school came to national notice in 2002 as a test of government exclusion policy. Two boys expelled for making death threats to a teacher were ordered to be re-instated by an independent appeals panel. After a refusal by other teachers to teach the boys and an intervention by the then Secretary of State for Education, Estelle Morris, the boys were found places at other schools.^[1]^[2]

Your request to be unblocked has been granted for the following reason(s):

User will be given one last chance - per my discussion with blocking admin and Tan's offer to oversight for a few weeks as detailed below

Request handled by: --VS ^talk 05:23, 22 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I don't believe the changes you've made (difference, you'll have to ignore all the talk page stuff) are significant enough to unblock you. They appear to be very minor, and also are not of an encyclopedic tone. When we ask for significant improvement, we're looking for a substantial improvement to the article, and preferably not one you have a conflict of interest with. For example, this article is currently marked as a stub, so a substantial improvement could be to work on expanding the article beyond that stub status, seeking out reliable sources to verify the content you've added. I'll not decline the request, to give others a chance to look into this, however I'd recommend you continue working on this article. Please also change the names back to their full names, without the Mr./Mrs. prefixes. Hersfold ^(t/a/c) 00:06, 21 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I'll have to agree. The only changes made are simply adding another position or two, changing the names to inappropriate formatting, and...nothing else. A 2nd chance attempt needs to make some seriously large improvements, not just a little bit of bookkeeping. Templarion (talk) 01:23, 21 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Well, hang on. While I agree that Fruppence needs to try a little harder here to show us that he will be a constructive contribution to Wikipedia, I don't think we need to see "seriously large improvements". Myself, I'll be convinced if he/she tries again and does a little better. I'll be responsible for oversight for a few weeks if we decide to unblock. Tan | 39 01:32, 21 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry, I was just going off what I thought was the intention. I misinterpreted, I guess. Templarion (talk) 01:39, 21 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I am going to post a note to the blocking admin - if he agrees with Tan's offer to oversight I will unblock. I will return here as soon as I have an answer.--VS ^talk 10:40, 21 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

You have been unblocked

In light of your recent efforts to be a more constructive Wikipedian, you have been unblocked. Please note that I will be reviewing your contributions frequently, and if any are of a vandalistic nature, you will be re-blocked indefinitely. Of course, I am also here for any assistance you may need and will answer any questions you have (or point you to those who have an answer). Remember, you are on a zero-tolerance probationary period.

Thank you for your cooperation. --ImageTaggingBot (talk) 01:06, 3 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Naming conventions

Hi there. I see you've been making a lot of changes to articles that reflect your own style preferences. Unfortunately, a lot of them don't match Wikipedia's manual of style. For example, your change of the title of Stunt performer is wrong; naming conventions dictate that the second word of non-proper nouns should be lowercase. Please stop grammatically changing article names and other minutia without fully understanding the conventions. Thanks! Tan | 39 01:13, 3 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

In addition, I reverted all of your changes to Vern Troyer. Almost every one of your capitalizations and changes were grammatically incorrect or were against Wikipedia MoS. Please stop trying to copyedit articles without a better grasp of English grammar and Wikipedia conventions. Tan | 39 01:30, 3 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
