Your recent edits to Talk:James Stacy could give Wikipedia contributors the impression that you may consider legal or other "off-wiki" action against them, or against Wikipedia itself. Please note that making such threats on Wikipedia is strictly prohibited under Wikipedia's policies on legal threats and civility. Users who make such threats may be blocked. If you have a dispute with the content of any page on Wikipedia, please follow the proper channels for dispute resolution. Please be sure to comment on content not contributors, and where possible make specific suggestions for changes supported by reliable independent sources and focusing especially on verifiable errors of fact. Thank you. Pinkadelica 03:58, 25 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

ANI notice

[edit]

Hello. This message is being sent to inform you that there currently is a discussion at Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents regarding an issue with which you may have been involved. Thank you. Pinkadelica 04:21, 25 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

You have been indefinitely blocked from editing for making legal threats or taking legal action. You are not allowed to edit Wikipedia as long as the threats stand or the legal action is unresolved. If you believe that a legal action is warranted, you may contact our information team at info-en@wikimedia.org and they may forward it to our legal counsel or a more appropriate venue. If you believe this block is unjustified you may contest this block by adding the text {{unblock|Your reason here}} below, but you should read our guide to appealing blocks first.

Request reason:

I was not implying a legal threat rather I thought that I was following Wikipedia policy in requesting Protection on this page pursuant to Wikipedia's policy regarding biographies of living persons and Wikiapedia's contact us policy. I sent an email to info-en-q@wikimedia.org with a subject header PURSUANT to Wikipedia policy "Legal Concern". See Wikipedia policy at this URL: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Contact_us/Article_problem/Factual_error_(from_subject)under the how to email us section. My email was sent on January 24, 2010 in my position as legal representative for the subject matter of this article. If there is another way to ask that the offensive paragraph be removed until I can receieve a reply from Wikipedia to my email of January 24, 2010 and the page be protected until then, please tell me how to do so. Again, I was trying to follow the Wikipedia policy that I read; convulted as it may be.

Decline reason:

I read very carefully both the removal (with its edit summary) and the talkpage edit. For the record, I've never been involved with the article. Between the edit summary and talkpage edit, it comes across as a clear warning that "I'm a lawyer, I removed it, don't add it back" which runs contrary to the policy on legal threats. You may have submitted information to Wikipedia, but you cannot then act singlehandedly to remove information that appears to be of public record, and is according to reliable sources. I'm sorry, your post was clearly a warning to not re-add the material and therefore an implied threat. (talk→ BWilkins ←track) 09:46, 30 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

If you make too many unconvincing or disruptive unblock requests, you may be prevented from editing this page until your block has expired. Do not remove this unblock review while you are blocked.

Your request to be unblocked has been granted for the following reason(s):

I'm going to withdrawal the block contingent on no further legal threats and no other disruptive behavior. Further violations will result in escalating blocks.
