For your removal of content from Kurdistan Workers Party under a misleading (minor!) edit summary. LessHeard vanU (talk) 19:58, 20 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Request reason:

My edit of the Kurdistan Workers Party page was intended to add the word "of" in order to correct the grammar. This is clearly a minor edit. Having a look at the history, it seems that there is a section missing halfway down, which I cannot explain. Perhaps I accidentally highlighted a section of text without being aware of it. In any case it cuts off halfway through a paragraph, so if I am responsible it clearly wasn't intentional.

Accept reason:

For one thing, your explanation seems perfectly likely: I have made similar mistakes myself. For another thing, even if this had been vandalism, an indefinite block for one edit, to an editor with a history of constructive editing, who had never been given any warning, would have been totally unreasonable.

Thanks James. I thought it seemed a bit extreme, but not having experienced it before I wasn't sure.
