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 why you should be unblocked, you may appeal this block by first reading the guide to appealing blocks, then adding the following text to the bottom of your talk page: {{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}}.  Widr (talk) 20:31, 11 April 2016 (UTC)Reply

I imagine you're pretty frustrated; you spent a good bit of time putting together a page, and you expected it would be appreciated. Instead, it's being discussed for deletion, and you're getting angry-sounding warnings when you try to prevent that from happening. You may think we are being arbitrary and unfair, that we won't accept any contributions. I promise that is not the case: we are following guidelines that this community has agreed on through much discussion, over many years. The content you submitted is quite detailed, and I am sure there are online venues that would appreciate it hugely, but unfortunately it does not make for a good encyclopedia article. We've also hammered out ways of handling discussions and disputes, and removing discussion notices is not something we accept. I hope that this doesn't dissuade you from contributing to Wikipedia; I am certain you have a great deal to offer -- it's just a matter of learning the ropes, and respecting the community that we've built. 20:33, 11 April 2016 (UTC)
