Request reason:

From reviewing the recent activity in response to my edits, it seems that I was blocked for removing references to the ReFormers Caucus of Issue One from the pages of former members of Congress. I apologize for not properly explaining why I was removing the contributions. I was removing edits that seemed as though they were made by a user specifically to promote a single organization and that did not add useful content to the pages, because politicians' pages would be cluttered with irrelevant content if every single board that they were a member of was listed on their page. I will cease from doing this and apologize for it.

Accept reason:

Thank you, you are unblocked. ~Anachronist (talk) 19:36, 9 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Okay, so what will you do instead? 331dot (talk) 16:32, 9 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I certainly won't make those specific edits again. And to the extent that I feel that rules are being violated -- to promote specific entities or in any other way -- and I make an edit to reflect that, I will flag the rule violation that I believe is at issue and properly document the edit. I have no interest in doing anything that causes damage to the Wikipedia community and I sincerely regret that the manner in which I undertook these edits caused that effect.

I'm inclined to unblock here - this entire thing seems to have been an issue of poor communication - if you had used a edit summary explaining the above you likely wouldn't have been blocked in the first place. * Pppery * _{it has begun...} 17:36, 9 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
