User talk:Thorncliffe

{{I do not understand why I was unblocked. Is it for SPAM? Where have I spammed? I only posed links to the origin of Carrom Ball and Dilscoop [that Mahendra Mapagunaratne coined the term. If you want that person's name not mentioned let me know. I can just mention definitions / links to Carrom Ball and Dilscoop. I must say Wikipedia confuses newcomers. It does not give all info on one page. It directs you from one page to another confusing the newcomer. Awaiting response.}}

Request reason:

1/ All reference to Mahendra Mapagunaratne who coined the terms both Carrom Ball and Dilscoop [see Ajantha Mendis /Carrom Ball / Tillakaratne Dilshan / Batting [Unorthodox strokes] has been deleted. 2/ Furthermore all reference to Dilscoop has been deleted. 3/ A wrong definition to the Marillier shot has been given deleting the correct definition. MARILLER - ball goes to fine leg but now it is stated that the ball goes over the wicket keepers' head [this is a complete distortion whereas it is the DILSCOOP is the one that sends the ball over the wicket keeper's head. 4/ My account has disabled my account on the grounds of Spam mail and making Vanity edits for stating a fact - that is Mahendra Mapagunaratne coined the terms Carrom Ball and Dilscoop. This is fact and not Spam or Vanity Edit. See FACTS BELOW to prove my points:[http://www.cricinfo.com/magazine/content/story/366194.html http://www.nation.lk/2009/06/14/sports2.htm

Decline reason:

I am declining your request for unblock because it does not address the reason for your block, or because it is inadequate for other reasons. To be unblocked, you must convince the reviewing administrator(s) that

  • the block is not necessary to prevent damage or disruption to Wikipedia, or
  • the block is no longer necessary because you
    • understand what you have been blocked for,
    • will not continue to cause damage or disruption, and
    • will make useful contributions instead.
