I did clearly discuss why some trivial bits should not be in the article. The removed parts were a few sentences of laws that President Obama did not actively campaign for or make it a signature issue. If these are included, the article ceases to be "Barack Obama" but becomes "The World during President Obama's Life" Hi Balloon Boy (talk) 02:44, 23 October 2011 (UTC)

You have been blocked from editing for a period of 24 hours for edit warring, as you did at Barack Obama. Once the block has expired, you are welcome to make useful contributions. If you would like to be unblocked, you may appeal this block by adding the text, but you should read the guide to appealing blocks first. During a dispute, you should first try to discuss controversial changes and seek consensus. If that proves unsuccessful, you are encouraged to seek dispute resolution, and in some cases it may be appropriate to request page protection. v/r - TP 14:55, 24 October 2011 (UTC)


 * I am not an admin, but I suggest strongly that threats are not helpful here. PhGustaf (talk) 15:13, 24 October 2011 (UTC)


 * I am not threatening, merely stating the facts. My block expires in 24 hours.  If unblocked now, I will look at that as a sign that some people in Wikipedia are reasonable and, in return, will not edit the Obama article for one month.  See, I am generous in return.  That is generosity, not threatening. Hi Balloon Boy (talk) 15:34, 24 October 2011 (UTC)
 * You said that you would step back two days ago and yet today you were engaging in the same edit war. I see plenty of warnings above the block notice and some significant competence issues.  You're failing to understand what your behavior warranted the block and you continue to blame other editors (and Wikipedia) for doing wrong.--v/r - TP 15:25, 24 October 2011 (UTC)
 * I said I would step back for a day and did so for longer than 24 hours. See, I am honest and do not lie.  I also do not falsely accuse, like some others (Scjessey and others).  I just made some very good suggestions about portions of the Obama bio that are not significantly related to his bio.  In retrospect, I have to admit that there is a very strong gay lobby and they want mention of gay issues.  Maybe I should tread carefully and not offend gay people even though it makes the Obama article bad.  Maybe I should select other areas to improve the article and give gay people space to promote their pet issues?  Sorry, I have nothing against gay people.  In fact, I don't mind gay marriages.

 * You really should specifically address the reasons for your block- your behavior and what you will do to avoid blocking in the future. A vague "I see why people are mad" is not really helpful. TN X Man  15:52, 24 October 2011 (UTC)

Sockpuppetry case
Your name has been mentioned in connection with a sockpuppetry case. Please refer to Sockpuppet investigations/Gaydenver for evidence. Please make sure you make yourself familiar with the guide to responding to cases before editing the evidence page. Dave Dial (talk) 18:18, 24 October 2011 (UTC)

The result was NOT a confirmed. It was closed as not conclusive because I am not a sock.
