I understand the reason for the decline but it raises a few important points  Namely concerning the bit about requiring the original blocking admins approval  To the best of my observation that particular admin has not been active on Wikipedia for over a year  Could the removal of my block be possible without hisher approval considering the apparent fact that they no longer contribute to the project Secondly the majority of the articles Ive read and have encountered issues with need nothing more than simple corrections in grammar punctuation and spelling  I could scour the list of articles needing improvement but in truth the majority of the edits I intend to make if unblocked would be stylistic ones rather than control of content  Surely not every contributor to Wikipedia is expected to make substantial referenced additions to articles  There are some like myself who would prefer to be useful in simply maintaining a degree of acceptable English
