First edit edit

This was your first edit, made with your alternate account 1Eternity1. I find it strange that a brand new account would 1) know how to add a reflist tag to a page, 2) references the fairly obscure CONTENT-FORK policy. You're obviously not a new user, who's used this account to immediately jump into a controversial topic area. Yet, I find no mention of the fact that you've used previous accounts. Am I missing something? Volunteer Marek (talk) 07:15, 13 December 2016 (UTC)Reply

Yes, the assumption of good faith. 11Eternity11 (talk) 07:52, 13 December 2016 (UTC)Reply
Right. So can you disclose your previous accounts? Volunteer Marek (talk) 08:24, 13 December 2016 (UTC)Reply
I've already responded to you previously. I'm not going to rehash this conversation. 11Eternity11 (talk) 08:42, 13 December 2016 (UTC)Reply
That actually doesn't answer the question. Yes, obviously at some point you "created this account". And appeared ex nihilo with detailed knowledge of how Wikipedia works. So can you disclose your previous accounts? Volunteer Marek (talk) 08:45, 13 December 2016 (UTC)Reply
Please find some article to improve rather than hounding me. Thank you. 11Eternity11 (talk) 09:12, 13 December 2016 (UTC)Reply
 
This user's unblock request has been reviewed by an administrator, who declined the request. Other administrators may also review this block, but should not override the decision without good reason (see the blocking policy).

Request reason:

I do not understand why I've been blocked. I was engaging well with other editors until one specific user started accusing me of being a sock puppet because I know some of the wikipedia guidelines and policies. I do admit that I have edited Wikipedia before years ago, but only in fits and starts. My previous contributions were long ago and I no longer remember username/password of those contributions. As far as I am aware, this should be a legitimate case of creating new accounts. Please reconsider this block. Thank you.

Decline reason:

Looking at your editing history, I see a battleground approach to other editors, I see uncivil sarcastic and contemptuous comments to other editors who have said things you don't like, sometimes bordering on personal attacks. Also, although you now admit to having had another account "years ago", you were evasive, uncooperative, and uncivil when asked about it. I see no reason to think that unblocking you will cause you to change and become a constructively collaborative editor.

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.

 DeltaQuad, why did you block me? I don't understand. I was very clear that I had edited Wikipedia years and years ago. I no longer remember username/password that I used at that time. So, because I know wikipedia policy a little, I am blocked from ever contributing? 11Eternity11 (talk) 09:46, 14 December 2016 (UTC)Reply
Maybe you should try to figure out what your old username was. Think of which articles you edited and then go through their edit histories. If you can remember what a content fork was from so many years ago then you should be able to do this too. --Dr. Fleischman (talk) 19:57, 14 December 2016 (UTC)Reply
Thanks for the advice, but this is really not worth my time. I don't even care about the topic that much (my intention was only to leave a couple comments, but I started getting sucked in). I do tend to bite back when approached uncivilly, which seems to have gotten me into trouble. I will say that editing Wikipedia these days is much more toxic than it used to be, which is most unfortunate. I got off WIkipedia because it was a giant time black hole. So, I should probably thank the admins for blocking me. I have better things to do. Anyway, happy editing to all. 11Eternity11 (talk) 02:37, 15 December 2016 (UTC)Reply
