Hello, I'm Robvanvee. An edit that you recently made to Ayanna Pressley seemed to be a test and has been removed. If you want to practice editing, please use the sandbox. If you think a mistake was made, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thanks!  Rob van  vee  17:34, 23 July 2019 (UTC)

Please refrain from making unconstructive edits to Wikipedia, as you did at Ayanna Pressley. Your edits appear to constitute vandalism and have been reverted. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. Repeated vandalism may result in the loss of editing privileges. Thank you. CLCStudent (talk) 19:47, 23 July 2019 (UTC)

She attended Boston University, though she did not graduate. It is perfectly fine to list Boston University in the info box under the "education" parameter, just not the "alma mater" parameter. The text can be the place where we mention that she attended, but did not graduate. – Muboshgu (talk) 19:50, 23 July 2019 (UTC)

I disagree with your analysis. It is false and misleading to list "Boston University" under the "Education" section, especially when the fact that she did not graduate from college is conveniently omitted from the paragraph describing her "Early Life and Education." Facts are facts. Stop being deceptive because it suits your liberal agenda and narrative. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Shammy5150 (talk • contribs)

Please stop your disruptive editing. If you continue to vandalize Wikipedia, as you did at Ayanna Pressley, you may be blocked from editing. CLCStudent (talk) 20:03, 23 July 2019 (UTC)

You may be blocked from editing without further warning the next time you vandalize Wikipedia, as you did at Ayanna Pressley. CLCStudent (talk) 20:04, 23 July 2019 (UTC)

You have been blocked indefinitely from editing because it appears that you are not here to build an encyclopedia. If you think there are good reasons for being unblocked, please read the guide to appealing blocks, then add the following text below the block notice on your talk page:. Jezebel's Ponyo bons mots 20:15, 23 July 2019 (UTC) Specifically, "Narrow self-interest", "treating editing as a battleground" and "major or irreconcilable conflict of attitude or intention". You clearly created this account solely to attack the credibility of a biography-subject, and when it was explained to you why your edits are disruptive, you responded with threats to escalate the issue outside of Wikipedia.-- Jezebel's Ponyo bons mots 20:21, 23 July 2019 (UTC)


 * What do you intend to edit about if unblocked? Would you agree to refrain from editing about US politics-related articles?  How will you handle editing disputes in the future? 331dot (talk) 13:53, 24 July 2019 (UTC)

I do not anticipate engaging in much editing. I have used Wikipedia dating back to its founding in 2001 and have never taken it upon myself to edit any articles. With that said, I do not think it is fair to impose restrictions on my editing privileges. I want to be treated like everyone else. For the record, I did not realize that I was engaging in edit warring. I would make a change...it would appear on the wiki page....and then would disappear shortly thereafter. I actually thought I was doing something wrong.

Multiple open unblock requests
It is abusive to open multiple simultaneous unblock requests. Which one would you like us to consider? Please consider striking out your above threat, as this will count against you in any unblock review. --Yamla (talk) 20:42, 23 July 2019 (UTC)

Thank you. I just deleted the redundant unblock requests. There is now only one to consider.

edit warring
Please see our policy on edit warring. In the event of a content dispute, editors are required to stop reverting, discuss, and seek consensus among editors on the relevant talk page. If discussions reach an impasse, editors can then post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution.

Points to ponder:
 * Edit warring is wrong even if one is right.
 * Any arguments in favor of one's preferred version should be made on the relevant talk page and not in an unblock appeal.
 * Calling attention to the faults of others is never a successful strategy; one must address one's own behavior.
