Request reason:

This link [www.romansystemsengineering.com] has a historical demonstration video #2 that was made at the University of Michigan at Ann Arbor about the purpose of the Roman Dodecahedron, defended in front of engineering bodies, and presented and defended on June 29th at Aptina Inc. It is a historic demonstration of the use of the Roman Dodecahedron, and is not spam. Please view video #2 on website link, for further affirmation. Thank you kindly.

Accept reason:

The link was clearly promoting Roman Systems Engineering, and is unacceptable under Wikipedia's external links policy. Since you had previously added the same link repeatedly anonymously before doing so via this account, a block was justified. However, having consulted the blocking administrator about this, I have decided that a six month block is not justified, so I have reduced the block to 48 hours from when it was originally imposed. The block will now expire at 6:44 (UTC) on 30 July 2011. After that you are welcome to contribute constructively, but please do not add promotional links.

That's not how our spam policy works. You can't just promote a link you made yourself because you think it's relevant. Someone else has to make that decision. Shii (tock) 10:21, 28 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
