Your current report to the administrators was faulty, in order to sucessfully and correctly report a user you need to have evidence regarding that account having gone against the rules of Wikipedia. "Impersonating me" is not a valid reason, and just cause the administrators to deal with more spam then they have to. Touch Of Light (talk) 03:42, 22 November 2008 (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).

Request reason:

I was insufficiently warned, and hence had no idea that my behavior would end in a block--Machiavelli11 (talk) 03:43, 22 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Decline reason:

Edison pretty much sums it up (below), but I will add this: This user didn't simply blank the content, (s)he used html comments to hide the content. This is not a new, inexperienced user and therefore, should have been aware that such behavior would lead to a block with or without warnings. —Travis ^talk 04:07, 22 November 2008 (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.

To answer your question ("WHy?") I reverted your edit because you blanked a page and replaced it with a spurious speedy deletion notice. dcd139 (talk) 03:44, 22 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

You're still a bit of a newbie, but generally when a vandal comes along, you must leave a warning on their talk page as well, which can be found here: {{Uw-warn}}. I see that you don't have rollback yet - once you get it, Huggle makes life a hell of a lot easier. Until then, keep up the good work, --Machiavelli11 (talk) 03:47, 22 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Your editing history

You created a new account and in a few minutes proceeded to blank most of the content of six article and post dubious speedy deletion templates on them. Your only edits were vandalism, indicating a vandalism-only account. Your familiarity with obscure processes such as Wikipedia:Administrator intervention against vandalism, where you falsely accused another editor of impersonating you, and your familiarity with the page for warning templates, and with Huggle indicates you are not a new and naive editor.
