Request reason:

I have never edited Wiki Page before, I didn't know even know what I needed to respond to or how to respond. I would like to be unblocked. I kept editing because I was unaware I had done anything wrong, and I only noticed it was not saving my changes I had made. As far as the promotion/advertising issue, I was only editing the page to make sure the information, i.e locations, and history are correct. I believe wiki wants to use correct information on its pages. None of the changes were intended to be promotional or advertising in anyway, shape or form. The edits are minimal.

Decline reason:

Your edits to Daymar College are completely incompatible with what a reader would expect to see in a neutral point of view encyclopedia. Specifically, this edit adds information that a casual reader wanting to know where the college is and roughly how big it is would not care about - and almost certainly would not in 10 years time. I think to entertain an unblock, I would have to ask you to agree to not edit this article at all. Does this sound reasonable? Ritchie333 ^(talk) ^(cont) 17:40, 26 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Request reason:

to Ritchie333 I do not agree with not being able to edit the article. I believe in this case the entire article should then be deleted, if indeed you believe the reader would not care about the information. If the article is not deleted, I feel I should have the right to add up to date and relevant information. I am not sure how adding up to date information is not considered neutral. There are a lot of pages on Wiki that have similar information that not every reader is going to care about. I Don't believe you can 100% tell me that every reader is going to care about everything written on a wiki page. Considering the wiki page lists RELEVANT information, such as locations, programs, etc that are not relevant, give readers inaccurate information, and therefor those edits need to be made regardless of the decision about said article

I'm not entirely unsympathetic to Nashday's concern here. If the case against Daymar has been settled, that should be noted rather than leaving the issue open on the page when it is no longer open in real life. That said, the information added by Nashday was overly detailed and struck me as somewhat sympathetic to Daymar. The allegations are cited to a press release from the (now former) Kentucky Attorney General's office, while the additions (since reverted) by Nashday were cited to a press release from Daymar. That's not really ideal on either side. I'm betting there is some fairly neutral coverage out there about this somewhere. I have access to the Lexington Herald-Leader's archives, but not time to to search them at present.

Might I suggest a compromise agreement whereby Nashday is unblocked and agrees to post suggestions about edits on the article's talk page, to be evaluated and possibly implemented by an experienced editor, rather than directly editing the Daymar College article? I've seen this approach work in other articles, and I used it myself on Talk:Creation Museum, although I did the edits myself after reaching consensus on the talk page.

to Ritchie333 and Acdixon :I would agree with this, I appreciate you understanding what I was getting at Acdixon. I used both articles thinking that it would be fine to use press releases, it was never a thought that it was taking a side. The following article is from a local newspaper called the Messenger, located in Madisonville Kentucky, that has the information needed to update, would that article be suffice? I think acknowledging the lawsuit was settled and linking with this article would solve the issue, then I would only change the listing of location and programs to show updated information. Ritchie333 would this resolve the issue?Nashday2016 (talk) 20:29, 21 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

You don't need an unblock request for every comment, so I am removing the incomplete code and leaving the rest of your message intact but indented. —Jeremy v^_^v ^Bori! 20:06, 22 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
