:Don't feel too bad; I avoided unblock requests due to autoblocks for the first few weeks I was an admin. I didn't have a clue how to resolve them, but luckily I found a link to the [http://tools.wikimedia.de/~pgk/autoblock.php Autoblock tool]. Whenever a registered user is autoblocked, you can enter the username into the autoblock tool under the section labeled "blockee". This should give you any active autoblocks for that username. You can then click on the link it provides and you will be able to unblock. You can also search for autoblocks by blocker or block id. - [[User:AuburnPilot|<font color="mediumblue">auburn</font><font color="darkorange">pilot</font>]] [[User_talk:AuburnPilot|<small>talk</small>]] 00:30, 2 July 2007 (UTC)

== "blatantlyedit false"summary ==

Please do not falsely accuse me of using "blatantly false" edit summaries. The user was deliberately editing articles to swtich pro-life to anti-abortion. Pro-life and Pro-choice are the terms that wikipedia uses. The user was specifically making these edits to switch wikipedia into having a pro-choice bias as the user did not change pro-choice into pro-abortion, but only pro-life to anti-abortion. Perhaps "removing bias" would have been a better edit summary, but sabotaging articles to be biased seems to me to be similiar enough to vandalism where it would not warrant the accusation of being "blatantly false".

:I guess we both made a poor choice of wording. Next time, rather than mass reverting, I would suggest trying to discuss the changes with the person you are reverting. - [[User:AuburnPilot|<font color="mediumblue">auburn</font><font color="darkorange">pilot</font>]] [[User_talk:AuburnPilot|<small>talk</small>]] 03:09, 2 July 2007 (UTC)

Well, the person seems to have no intention other than making that change to as many articles as they can. The user had already been informed about the policy by another user after vandalizing the Democrats for Life article. The reverting had to be done, there was no need to talk it over with the other editor. [[User:75.32.32.140|75.32.32.140]] 04:20, 2 July 2007 (UTC)
