You have been blocked from editing for a period of 2 weeks for persistently making disruptive edits. Once the block has expired, you are welcome to make useful contributions. 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:. &mdash; Coffee //  have a cup  //  beans  // 08:19, 14 March 2017 (UTC)


 * Looking at your contributions, that "Drumpf" edit does seem out of character, and a two week block without warning does seem excessive. A query asking why you did it should have been sufficient. I should remind you that you are responsible for any edits that you make, and clicking "show changes" would have highlighted the error, but I accept that no-one does this all the time (including me). In the circumstances, therefore, I so no reason to unblock you, given that you have disabled the plug-in. are you happy with this? Optimist on the run (talk) 13:03, 14 March 2017 (UTC)
 * The block was not punitive; the length was set due to the sparseness of the user's edits, to ensure that they would discuss the (admittedly odd) seemingly advanced vandalism. I must admit that I hadn't even considered that extension, but I'm pleased to learn that it was not the user's intention to make the change. As such, I will unblock the account. &mdash; Coffee //  have a cup  //  beans  // 17:16, 14 March 2017 (UTC)
 * I think this is a classic example of Hanlon's Razor - when a user with a good track record does something rather stupid like this, there's usually a good reason other than malice. I still feel a block, without warning or questioning, was unjustified - a small trout is all that's required here. In fact, I shall give one... Optimist on the run (talk) 18:39, 14 March 2017 (UTC)
 * Thanks for understanding this was not intentional. I'll definitely use "show changes" for future edits. CPost1 (talk) 08:00, 15 March 2017 (UTC)


 * Only if you view blocks as punitive could a block to prevent a script from causing further damage be viewed as "unjustified". We commonly block accounts that are running unapproved or compromised scripts. CPost1 should not take this block to mean that they are any less esteemed in the community, it was merely a preventative measure. &mdash; Coffee //  have a cup  //  beans  // 19:49, 14 March 2017 (UTC)
