Description: Dear Volunteer Editors or Administrators,

Recently I posted a straightforward concise comparison of this article and the English encyclopedia article it plagiarises. Then, I highlighted the obvious differences (which are a mix of trivial, clarification, and what appears to be somebody volunteer's mere opinions). I encouraged you to encourage yourselves to aim higher. Then, you roboblocked my harmless Talk edit.

However, I did attempt to use the "code" formatting to format the comparison of the two paragraphs, to make it clearer. So, after I was robo-flagged as "unconstructive" ie antisocial (which is by the way a really Orwellian word that is itself unconstructive and antisocial), I tried once to remove that "code" markup in case that was the case of the flagging. Nope. Flagged again.

So, now I'm reporting what in my opinion is a spurious error of your robot; or alternately, if some admin has flagged/locked me based on past Talk suggestions, rather than this particular edit... well, perhaps you should find a better way to communicate than banning your own readers for leaving Talk suggestions on the Talk suggestion pages?
