Hello, I'm Longhair. I wanted to let you know that one or more of your recent contributions to Headquarters of the United Nations have been undone because they did not appear constructive. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. If you have any questions, you can ask for assistance at the Help Desk. Thanks. Longhair\^talk 21:53, 10 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Request reason:

I'm not a vandal. My edit to the Headquarters of the United Nations page was in good faith. It was automatically identified as vandalism by ClueBot, presumably because the edit involved a significant deletion and my account is new. But human editors seem to agree the edit makes sense: the edit is now in the article as it stands at 22.50 UTC.

Accept reason:

I've unblocked your account. Please accept my apologies. PhilKnight (talk) 23:25, 10 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Hello Longhair. I assume this reversion was made automatically? I'm not a vandal. (I have previosly edited as an IP address and have finally caved and got an actual account.) I genuinely believe that long list is out of place in the lede of the UNHQ article. Please look at my edit and consider reverting your reversion. Thanks SpaceHamsterBoo (talk) 22:01, 10 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, I see what you're trying to do now. I'm not the administrator who blocked you so I'll drop a ping to the blocking admin so they can review. @PhilKnight: -- Longhair\^talk 22:05, 10 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I probably should've looked at the situation more closely before reporting to AIV. I'm sorry. funplussmart (talk) 22:08, 10 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

No worries. With hindsight, I shouldn't have made a big deletion as almost the first thing I did with my account. I know vandalism is a constant problem. SpaceHamsterBoo (talk) 22:15, 10 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

You may wish to use the unblock template as described above. funplussmart (talk) 22:17, 10 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Even though Longhair has alerted the blocking admin? SpaceHamsterBoo (talk) 22:23, 10 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Because the blocking admin might take a while to respond. Using the template will gain the attention of an admin more quickly. funplussmart (talk) 22:28, 10 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

OK, thanks, I'll go ahead and do that. SpaceHamsterBoo (talk) 22:38, 10 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]
