the following is not a formal request to be unblocked thank you anthonybradbury your comments made sense the issues i raised relate to the ani thread still remaining open both erpert neent and now you as an administrator have said that the matter is 'closed ' despite me being blocked days ago and despite erpert closing the thread and stating no further comments another editor whatamidoing removed that and continued making false baseless claims quoting inaccurate details that easily be proved further entirely separate matters to what my block was for are now being discussed 'after' i was blocked without me having an opportunity to present clear contrary evidence based purely on the objective editing history and have a fair minded neutral and independent administrator to judge both sides these editors knew there was a ani thread but did not comment for days until i was blocked after i was blocked they then and only then stuck the boot in without any facts to back up their false claims they may have waited until i was blocked because these baselss claims would have been proven false immediately through me providing diffs and objective facts to the contrary in fact they only ceased when i asked for a temporary unblock above to respond they would have kept 'hammering away' with baseless false claims providing no facts to back them up and all the while me being unable to provide the facts i have made some very solid edits to numerous articles i respect wikipedia i respect wikipedia's policies i accept the reasons for my current block and would appreciate after such a significant period ie full weeks to start afresh and be provided an assumption of good faith in my editing rather than editors judging me already i think all editors after being blocked should be given the benefit of the doubt not to have this thrown in their face for ever more that's not right i know a lot about some topics very little about other topics my reliable sources have good my editing and additions have been good productive in many different articles i completely reject being 'incompetent' as whatamidoing states without me being able to respond simply because of differing points of view i understand whatamidoing and bilby are very experienced editors who have made great contributions to wikipedia as editors no one is disputing that they obviously gain a great deal of enjoyment from the project too does that provide these editors 'unequal' rights over less experienced editors who are also adding value to the project where they can make false baseless assumptions i realise i have had some previous conflict with the same small group of editors in the past but that says nothing about my edits being productive and of benefit to the project i believe strongly in the principles of assuming good faith amongst editors i did not think blocks were punitive whereby other editors can 'mock' the person who has been blocked nor are blocks an opportunity to make false entirely baseless assumptions about an editor's competence is the ani thread closed or is it not closed please anthonybradbury i am hesitant to ask this through a formal request unblocking request so could an administrator tell me if this ani thread that was abruptly re opened by whatamidoing after the block was already applied and the thread closed
