. However, you should read the
guide to appealing blocks first.During a dispute, you should first try to discuss controversial changes and seek consensus. If that proves unsuccessful, you are encouraged to seek dispute resolution, and in some cases it may be appropriate to request page protection. Tiptoety talk 05:22, 17 July 2013 (UTC)

Mark: Is this block punitive or merely focused on activity on Human Genome? I asked for arbitration, which doesn't seem like the right direction, and had initiated other dispute resolution means (soliciting community opinions), but am blocked from doing so. Is there a way to see dispute resolution while being blocked from editing the page in question? Thanks. Dylan Hunt ( talk) 15:49, 22 July 2013 (UTC)
Dylan, this is a repost of an answer I gave to your Teahouse question. Another host told me that since you were blocked (sorry that happened) I should also post the answer here. Feel free to contact me after the block expires if you want to. Here is the original reply:
Greeting Dylan and welcome to the teahouse. First if you are in an edit war stop. Don't keep redoing changes that others have undone. That isn't productive and won't make you look good and while Wikipedia has almost no rules that can't be broken the no edit warring rule is about as strong a guideline as we have. The first thing to do is to try and work things out on the talk page of the article in question. If you can't do that then the next step is Wikipedia:Dispute_resolution Also, remember that Wikipedia is all about collaboration and compromise. This page is not an official page of Wikipedia, its just kind of meant for a laugh but there is also some good stuff in here that IMO really captures the essence of the site: (it uses some off color language so don't link to it if that offends you) Wikipedia:Apathy On getting other users to take a look, I can offer my opinions if you link me to the page in question. I'm self educated in biology but I understand the basics pretty well, especially the issues related to altruism which is the reason I educated myself on it, I'm also very interested in ethical philosophy and am doing some work on my own for now on the boundaries between ethical philosophy and biology. If you are familiar with authors such as Marc Hauser, Sam Harris, or Scott Atran, people like that. If you are involved in a deep discussion of technical biological issues, things like say molecular biology that would be over my head but if its along the lines I mentioned above I would be interested to take part in the discussion. I know quite a bit about philosophy. Mad Scientist ( talk) 16:02, 22 July 2013 (UTC)
