Please stop adding unreferenced or poorly referenced biographical content, especially if controversial, to articles or any other Wikipedia page, as you did at James T. Butts, Jr.. Content of this nature could be regarded as defamatory and is in violation of Wikipedia policy. If you continue, you may be blocked from editing Wikipedia. --Orange Mike | Talk 20:39, 18 September 2013 (UTC)

Request reason:
My contribution to this Wikipage adheres to all Wikipedia rules regarding biographies of living people. All content is from a second source, and is painstakingly researched and accurate. It contains numerous links/citations from reputable, if not unimpeachable, media, educational and governmental sources, and it provides a contrast to the previously unreferenced or dubiously referenced propaganda. My contribution and is in no way defamatory, and provides Wikiusers with important information that was previously unavailable on the page. The repeated removal of this content, especially by using excuses like the content was "unreferenced or poorly referenced sources" is ridiculous, and itself appears to belie a bias or agenda concerning the subject matter. Would an encyclopedia have a page about Richard Nixon without content about Watergate? Would an encyclopedia have a page about Ronald Regan without content about the Iran/Contra fiasco? No it wouldn't! Wikipedia should not be used as a publicity page for individuals, including politicians
Decline reason:
There is no Nixon and no Watergate here, and after looking over the content you tried to add it's clear to me that the text itself is not neutral (the last sentence is the clearest example), and the sourcing inadequate. Conclusions are drawn from a primary source, and the other references are simply not reliable, with the exception of school board section--but that doesn't involve Butts directly, and the Daily Breeze article doesn't even mention him. In other words, we have tendentious synthesis in a BLP based on poor sourcing. Drmies (talk) 02:30, 20 September 2013 (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.

[edit]Please do not add unreferenced or poorly referenced information, especially if controversial, to articles or any other page on Wikipedia about living (or recently deceased) persons. Thank you.
Inglewoodwatcher, you have been informed many times of our policy regarding living people: no unsourced contentious material. You have been blocked once for violating it. At Inglewood, California and at James T. Butts, Jr., you added identical unsourced contentious material about Butts. The point is already covered elsewhere in the Butts article, with references. Regarding Inglewood, I suggest you start a section on the talk page about whether it should be included - citing references there. Yngvadottir (talk) 16:20, 25 November 2014 (UTC)
