You have been blocked indefinitely from editing for contravening Wikipedia's biographies of living persons policy. If you think there are good reasons why you should be unblocked, you may request an unblock by first reading the guide to appealing blocks, then adding the following text to the bottom of your talk page:.

I have blocked you from editing due to consistent violations of the core policy WP:BLP, despite repeated warnings from other editors. I note in particular:

Totally unacceptable editing in the Virginia Trioli article including:
 * Addition of negative BLP material referenced to a blog
 * Adding material implying that the subject is a hypocrite
 * And later stating that outright
 * And edit warring this back into the article after it was removed by two editors
 * Claiming that the subject is a biased journalist
 * Adding a trivial mistake by the subject to the article and re-adding this after it was removed

And similar conduct in similar articles including
 * Edit warring negative material you added about Bill Shorten into the article after it was removed
 * Removing easily-referenced material from the Waleed Aly article
 * And then threatening to further disrupt that article to make a point (this is an obvious carry-over from the rejection of your changes to the Bill Shorten article given that you are attempting to use the same arguments here which have led to the rejection of that material)

I note that I have been involved with removing your BLP violations from the above articles, and commented on the Bill Shorten discussion. I don't think that this goes beyond what would be expected of an admin in these circumstances (noting their responsibility to address BLP concerns), and note that admins have explicit discretion to apply blocks to prevent obvious BLP violations such as these even when they are 'involved' per WP:BLPADMINS.
