Discussion about block

edit

Peteforsyth and Sro23, thank you for considering unblocking me. I just want to start off by apologizing for the way that I said things. What I said, apparently, you guys took it differently as though I was trying to be ruthless and that I wanted to maliciously edit. To get the elephant out of the room, I only blew up like that, because to me the way you said "Stop bugging, unless you want your talk page access taken away", it seems at though you were threatening me with your power and that you'd leave me with nothing to explain myself. As I have mentioned before, threats from people that sometimes use their authority "poorly", make my blood boil. Maybe that's not what you meant with any of that, but forget it. That's not the real focus of this discussion. The point is, it seems as though I was wrongfully blocked off by some admin, because they suspected that I was using a sockpuppet, when in reality, I was using an alternate account for my original. Reason being is because I forgot my password, and as Pete probably already knows, an open draft that I was working on was being spammed on with vulgar and offensive content. I only made the draft, because nobody ever told me that my work wasn't allowed on an encyclopedia. If I knew, that wouldn't have happened at all. In addition, my original account "surprisingly", got blocked off by some admins that I was explaining the spam issue with. They looked at my work, and deemed it as "trolling", so they had blocked me. Again, I didn't see that until after I got rid of the spam. My third account, FTVA, was intended so that I could try to explain myself, because I wasn't given any contacts for help. I will also admit, I created my current account out of spite, because I couldn't take Wikipedia anymore and that I'd refuse to stop adding real work and would continue to evade the block until I was being listened to, which obviously, I was being ignored. In addition, on several articles, the user Toughpigs kept deleting my contributions because she saw everything as "false" and deemed it as "pointless fan trivia". That was a major part in the snowball effect that eventually led to Sro23's comment about me asking to talk with him. He says that I got blocked because I'm intending sockpuppets and to stop bugging him, even though I asked him only ONE question, he threatened to remove my talk page access. That was where everything crossed the line, so yes, I blew up over it. LocalContributor281 (talk) 00:00, 22 December 2020 (UTC)Reply

Note the user has been CU-confirmed socking at least twice now (see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Wikipedia_sockpuppets_of_Shaddai_Wright), so I believe WP:3X applies and any unblock request may require community approval. I did block you for block evasion, but there's more to it than that. There were also long-term issues with fair use, edit warring, incivility, and repeatedly linking to an external harassment site. Wikipedia seems to cause you great distress, so my question is: do you really want to be unblocked? Sro23 (talk) 00:22, 22 December 2020 (UTC)Reply
To answer your question, as long as I don't have to associate with others that I've had serious problems with in the past, I'd say yes, as well as starting off fresh. LocalContributor281 (talk) 00:24, 22 December 2020 (UTC)Reply
In addition, I only did fair-use violations, unintentonally until this year. In addition, my files kept getting deleted because people thought it was "fan-art" even though I've linked the file to a legitimate source. That was something that I felt wrongfully accused of. Also, an old image was restored and the user made it some long title talking about how I "infringed" copyright, when I clearly left a fully detailed rationale. Almost anywhere you look on that file, it blames me for trying to pass it off as Commons. Since I was blocked and couldn't explain myself, it seems like everyone sees me as a bad guy. Also, the only reason it came off at uncivil. was because I got mad over it, and yes, I could have worded it out differently, but I was too angered over it to the point where I didn't care if it was coming off rude, because I thought that it served them right for doing any of that.

Waiting for Unblock

edit

Sro23, hello. I'm just checking up on the unblocking process. I don't know if you're busy or anything, but I'm still blocked off. I'll go ahead and wait a little for the decision to be finalized. LocalContributor281 (talk) 16:54, 23 December 2020 (UTC)Reply

You need to appeal with your original account Shaddai Wright. Do you still have the password to it? I can restore talkpage access. Sro23 (talk) 17:28, 23 December 2020 (UTC)Reply
I do. Unfortunately, some admin named "Deepfriedorka" banned me, because I couldn't summarize what I was talking about and explain why I should be unblocked within the short word limit. As of now, I cannot appeal with my original account. LocalContributor281 (talk) 17:30, 23 December 2020 (UTC)Reply
Besides that, to clarify, yes, I still have my original account and if you need me to, I'll go ahead and stick with that one for access. LocalContributor281 (talk) 17:33, 23 December 2020 (UTC)Reply
On User talk:Shaddai Wright, post {{unblock | reason=your reason here ~~~~}}, replacing "your reason here" with a good reason why you should be unblocked, and how things will be different moving forward. Sro23 (talk) 17:43, 23 December 2020 (UTC)Reply
Okay, thank you for your time. Hoping this will go smoothly without any problems now, or in the future. LocalContributor281 (talk) 17:44, 23 December 2020 (UTC)Reply

Return for Explanation

edit

@Pete Forsyth After being offline for approximately 3 years now, I recently got pinged about a topic that I contributed towards that led up to my blocking in the first place.

On Talk: Donald Duck, I added a source for the character in 1931, which was deemed to be arbitrary and false. Recently, however, two users came to a compromise in adding to the article eventually, due to the fact that the source I linked was a genuine article by The Walt Disney Company.

If possible, I'd be willing to discuss this a bit more to clear up the confusion. LocalContributor281 (talk) 18:04, 27 November 2023 (UTC)Reply
