Important Notice edit
This is a standard message to notify contributors about an administrative ruling in effect. It does not imply that there are any issues with your contributions to date.
You have shown interest in the intersection of race/ethnicity and human abilities and behaviour. Due to past disruption in this topic area, a more stringent set of rules called discretionary sanctions is in effect. Any administrator may impose sanctions on editors who do not strictly follow Wikipedia's policies, or the page-specific restrictions, when making edits related to the topic.
For additional information, please see the guidance on discretionary sanctions and the Arbitration Committee's decision here. If you have any questions, or any doubts regarding what edits are appropriate, you are welcome to discuss them with me or any other editor.

"You have shown interest in the intersection of race/ethnicity and human abilities and behaviour."
No I didn't. Alan B. Samuels (talk) 14:00, 23 November 2021 (UTC)
Race (human categorization) edit
I've added to the discussion and included the relevant section from the source, and I have to say I am not in support of your proposed edit (details in article talk page). I strongly recommend now that you take an interest in Wikipedia:Policies and guidelines and WP:Consensus, and take an interest in editing articles not related to race.

- Yes I see that you agree the source doesn't support "untenable", so we should drop that source and find some sources that support untenable. And I'll edit exactly what I please thank you very much. Alan B. Samuels (talk) 16:47, 29 November 2021 (UTC)
- No, that's not what I'm saying. Regarding "And I'll edit exactly what I please thank you very much", if you keep making edits that seem to be pushing a certain point of view, you will be banned. MarshallKe (talk) 17:10, 29 November 2021 (UTC)
- Perhaps you should take your own advice. Alan B. Samuels (talk) 17:12, 29 November 2021 (UTC)

Note that multiple accounts are allowed, but not for illegitimate reasons, and any contributions made while evading blocks or bans may be reverted or deleted.
If you think there are good reasons why you should be unblocked, you should review the guide to appealing blocks, and then appeal your block by adding the following text below this notice:
{{unblock|Your reason here ~~~~}}. Note that anything you post in your unblock request will be public, so you may alternatively use the Unblock Ticket Request System to submit an appeal if it contains information that must be private.Administrators: Checkusers have access to confidential system logs not accessible by the public or by administrators due to the Wikimedia Foundation's privacy policy. You must not loosen or remove this block, or issue an IP block exemption, without consulting with a checkuser or the Arbitration Committee. Administrators who undo checkuser blocks without permission from a checkuser or the Arbitration Committee may be summarily desysopped.

Request reason:
Well that's one way to admit you don't have an argument for your ridiculous Marxist BS. Alan B. Samuels (talk) 17:19, 4 December 2021 (UTC)
Decline reason:
My use of the checkuser tool confirms you have abused multiple accounts. PhilKnight (talk) 17:45, 4 December 2021 (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.
