unblock}}" why in God's name have I been blocked? I joined intending to make a positive contribution and within seconds I'm blocked for some unfathomable reason. I know wikipedia has trouble policing itself but this is just paranoia! WHY ON EARTH HAVE I BEEN BLOCKED????? Not happy.

You have not been blocked, but your IP address probably has. Please paste the entire block message here, including the IP address, or we will be unable to assist. --Pilotguy ^{(roger that)} 19:12, 22 July 2006 (UTC)

unblock}}"It says "Your user name or IP address has been blocked from editing. You were blocked by King of Hearts for the following reason (see our blocking policy): Autoblocked because your IP address has been recently used by "Steve's Breakfast Lounge". The reason given for Steve's Breakfast Lounge's block is: "advertising a restaurant". Your IP address is 81.76.96.109. "

"advertising a restaurant"???? Absolutely ridiculous.

I've unblocked you but please watch it. --Pilotguy ^{(roger that)} 19:24, 22 July 2006 (UTC)

Thank you very much. I will watch it, even though I'm not sure what it is I wasn't watching in the first place.

Cardiff Blues

If that is the case, then it seems appropriate to have both nationalities. I have added both flags back, and put an explanation beneath the squad list. If you could find a source that they have made themselves available for welsh selection and put it in to the article that would be great. Cheers and sorry for the confusion, I just saw an IP edit and thought someone was messing around! Nouse4aname 09:57, 13 November 2007 (UTC)

ArbCom elections are now open!

Hi,
You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.
