 You have been blocked indefinitely from editing for Vandalism. 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  below this notice. Materialscientist (talk) 11:35, 31 December 2022 (UTC)

I do not understand why I have been blocked after making an accurate edit to Nigela Lawsons wiki page. She was nominated for a BAFTA for her pronunciation of microwave - and this was an interesting cultural event during her career. I added one source and would happily search out other sources if The Independent was not deemed reliable enough. I don’t think it is an accurate reflection of history to rub out moments that did occur because they are not deemed ‘appropriate’. MinibanksHargreaves (talk) 11:51, 31 December 2022 (UTC)
 * You are blocked, not banned(the two words are not synonyms here). You say you have little interest in further editing, so normally there would be no need to remove the block since blocks only prevent editing- but I'm kinda wondering why this was deemed vandalism as well. I'm going to ask the blocking admin about it. 331dot (talk) 13:34, 31 December 2022 (UTC)

Thank you - yes I understand blocks and bans are different. It would be nice to do the occasional edit if I spot something as I use Wiki all the time. But it’s not something I would likely do regularly. It certainly remains more the principle of it so I appreciate you looking into it for me. Many thanks!

 * My sincere apologies, the block was erroneous and I have lifted that. Happy New Year. Materialscientist (talk) 22:10, 31 December 2022 (UTC)


 * Now that the user has been unblocked, shouldn't the unblock request be closed. Lavalizard101 (talk) 10:34, 2 January 2023 (UTC)
