..that you are the same person who had been editing as User talk:72.14.117.122, because you are adding the same kind of information in the same way as that editor, and there are the same problems with what you're doing.
I have informed the editor who blocked User:72.14.117.122 that you are here. It will be up to them to decide if you are evading a block by editing under this name. Ed Fitzgerald (unfutz) ( talk / cont) 06:56, 3 August 2008 (UTC)
Please don't delete mentions of AFI rankings from the lede paragraph -- it's OK for the lede to duplicate information from the body of the article, since it's a summary or introductory paragraph. Ed Fitzgerald (unfutz) ( talk / cont) 07:04, 3 August 2008 (UTC)
You're spending a fair amount of time and energy on collecting this information and putting it into articles, but because you aren't listening to what's being told to you, a lot of it is being reverted, thus completely wasting your effort. I would think it would be better for you to enter into a discussion here, get things straightened out, and work together with other editors so that your contribution to the project will survive. What is it that I'm missing? Ed Fitzgerald (unfutz) ( talk / cont) 07:51, 3 August 2008 (UTC)
Your continued removal of AFI information in favor of a list is vandalism, and has been reverted. You seem to be the same user as [[User talk:72.14.117.122], who was blocked tonight for doing the same thing. Again, please stop and discuss your edits. Consensus is against you as per the discussion at WP:ANI, and you refusing to discuss your changes makes you seem like a vandal. Please stop. As per the ANI discussion, I will continue to treat your edits as vandalism unless I hear from you. Dayewalker ( talk) 08:00, 3 August 2008 (UTC)
My friend, this encyclopedia is built on the principles of consensus and the most important tool is communication. I am advised that your contributions are potentially very useful, but you are placing them in a manner which is not appropriate and you have not responded to any request for discussion. When your ip was blocked you created this account to continue your editing. I have therefore blocked this account until you open a dialogue, and would warn you that any other accounts you create will also be blocked unless you change your attitude.

Hello. My name is P.J. and in response to my being blocked from editing, etc. my explanation is I wasn't answering to my messages and I give my apologies. I really do want to continue editing on this website and I will continue to respond to any messages I receive in future and to communicate in general... I do have one question, am I required to contact you or any other editor as soon as I've made any changes to an article?
thank you, P.J. Arata
So, given that, can we discuss what I see as problems with what you are doing?
My suggestions are, of course, not in any way commands, I have no special authority here, I'm just another editor. If you disagree with what I'm saying, let's discuss it and see if we can come up with something that's satisfactory to both of us. Ed Fitzgerald (unfutz) ( talk / cont) 17:58, 4 August 2008 (UTC)

Request reason:
I was blocked due to failure to respond to several messages regarding communication. I wish to continue participation on this website and will do my part as far as communicating is concerned. My apologies for any disruption.
Decline reason:
Since you can continue to edit this talk page, please discusss the issues with the other user first - the outcome of those discussions will determine whether your account should be unblocked or not. Gb T/ c 12:21, 5 August 2008 (UTC)
If you want to make any further unblock requests, please read the guide to appealing blocks first, then use the {{ unblock}} template again. 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.
I just read the above response to my appeal to unblock my account. I appreciate any help in resolving this mistake. I'm still new to all the discussions but I like the concept herein. Regarding the AFI articles, I'm a stickler for all that film trivia, hence my inclusions of the multiple listings. I've been told by several people that adding the listing is admissable but that the basic paragraphs are to be left as they are and I'm all right with that. Should I leave feedback over the next several days in order to establish a history of user talk? I'm happy to leave a notice with fellow editors whenever I make an addition to an article.
--- That's fine. To User:LessHeard vanU): Is there any chance I would be unblocked some time this week. I would like a chance to prove my point on communicating. I wanted to add to an article and then have you "proof-read" it so to speak to check for any errors.
