October 2022 edit
Your recent editing history shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war; that means that you are repeatedly changing content back to how you think it should be, when you have seen that other editors disagree. To resolve the content dispute, please do not revert or change the edits of others when you are reverted. Instead of reverting, please use the talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. The best practice at this stage is to discuss, not edit-war. See the bold, revert, discuss cycle for how this is done. If discussions reach an impasse, you can then post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection.
Being involved in an edit war can result in you being blocked from editing—especially if you violate the three-revert rule, which states that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Undoing another editor's work—whether in whole or in part, whether involving the same or different material each time—counts as a revert. Also keep in mind that while violating the three-revert rule often leads to a block, you can still be blocked for edit warring—even if you do not violate the three-revert rule—should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly.

Your reason here Wholesomist (talk) 20:53, 17 October 2022 (UTC)
Decline reason:
I am declining your unblock request 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.
Please read the guide to appealing blocks for more information. Yamla (talk) 21:10, 17 October 2022 (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.
- As I replied to MrOllie I deleted by accident some portion of the article and then after I realize my mistake I inserted the deleted content.
- After that I have edited a couple of times the same portion of the article because I saw no changes when I made them. They seemed to be constantly deleted after a couple of seconds. Wholesomist (talk) 20:53, 17 October 2022 (UTC)

Request reason:
Answering your decision regarding unblocking: I sincerely admit that I'm confused but I will try to understand this permament block. I will not make any more edits regarding this page and insert any opinions that comes from sources like personal pages on facebook.com and medium.com (which I believe are the reason why edits are wrong). Next time I will be much more careful regarding accidentally deleting portions of wiki-article and accidentally copying the same text three times. I will not engage in any edit-wars in the future by not making a couple of edits in the short amount of time thus not violating three-revert rule.

This is a start, but as copyright violations potentially put Wikipedia in legal jeopardy, we must be convinced that you understand what copyright is, what Wikipedia's license is, and when/how copyrighted content may be used on Wikipedia. Please tell us these things in your own words. 331dot (talk) 10:06, 18 October 2022 (UTC)

[Replying to 331dot] Copyright is set of rights vested in the author(s) of a work authorizing him to decide on the use of the work and derive potential financial benefits from it. Examples are: songs, books, essays, software. Such rights include the rights to distribute copies or to display the work publicly. The license on Wikipedia is CC BY-SA, where CC refers to creative commons. To import text or images on Wikipedia and it does not meet the non-free content policy I can only import it if it was on public domain or available under terms that are compatible with the CC BY-SA license. I have to credit the author(s). Some sources have a disclaimer saying that the material is free for use, thus it can be used on wikipedia but I have to provide a link to it.
- This is not correct. You missed an entire license and don't understand WP:FAIRUSE at all. --Yamla (talk) 09:50, 20 October 2022 (UTC)
[Replying to Yamla]
I'll try to reply but it would be helpful if you'd indicate more details about what information you would want from me to provide here and how you infer I have no understanding of fair-use. To me I just wrote a short paragraph to encapsulate the meaning and basic activities concerning if sth does not meet non-free contents. For missing an entire license I understand I didn't wrote about GFDL, which is my bad.

Request reason:
I will describe license and non-free content policy in short way, trying to convey the meaning and that I understand what I write. Because I'm not fluent in language concerning law stuff I sometimes have hard time to describe something solely in my words and at the same time not losing a precise meaning of law on wikipedia. Here's my try to convince you I understand copyright:
The Licenses are CY BY-SA 3.0 and GFDL. First one refers to Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 3.0. This license provides that people are free to share and remix (adapting) the work for any purpose under some conditions. In short: a) Attribution - giving credit to all authors. b) Share Alike - distributing the changed work based on the work under the mentioned license can only happen if the distribution is under the same or similar or compatible license.
The second one refers to GNU General Public License. It provides the rights to copy, redistribute, and modify a work but all authors must be attributed (credit the author of the work), any changes have to be written and all copies and derivatives of the work must be available under the same license.
As it is stated Wikipedia's goal is to provide free content as an encyclopedia so that any free content does not bear copyright restrictions.
Non-free content refers to content that has copyright restrictions (about redistribution, studying it and modifying work). Texts and images are included. Non-free contents can only be used in wiki-articles only if its usage is considered fair use in United States and also complies with the non-free content criteria.
Non-free content criteria amounts to 10 where all have to be met to be used on English Wikipedia: [To not copy all criterias I will try to convey the meaning in my words which can sound sometimes colloquial. For 7th and 9th rules they are short so I wrote at the end of them "[straightforward copy]"]. 1. If one cannot find free equivalent or cannot create an equivalent. 2. Using non free content will not replace the commercial. 3. Limit items of non-free content to possibly one item if that item can convey the needed information of multiple items. Also an entire piece of work is not used if a fragment is enough. 4. Non-free content must be a work published outside Wikipedia or a derivative created by Wikipedia editor. 5. The content meets general Wikipedia and encyclopedic standards. 6. One have to be cautious which sort of media an editor tries to use. If an editor wants to use an image that is a non-free content they have to fully describe source of image and copyright details on their description pages. 7. Non-free content is used at least in one article. [straightforward copy] 8. Non-free content is used if it can facilitate or better the understanding of the article. 9. Non-free content is allowed only in articles [straightforward copy] 10. Detailed description of an image must be provided, like about artists, publishers, year of copyright, source of the image.
For specific non-free content of the media implementation I will use this site: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:File_copyright_tags/Non-free
I believe that is all. I don't want to be an essay but also I don't want to make you think that I dismiss your remarks.

You're not really using your own words. You're slightly changing our words. If your English skills are not up to the task, you can edit the version of Wikipedia in your native language. See m:List of Wikipedias. NinjaRobotPirate (talk) 02:54, 23 October 2022 (UTC)

Request reason:
After some time I will try to again display some knowledge about copyright on Wikipedia. I will use some of phrases and sentences I used previously. The Licenses are CY BY-SA 3.0 and GFDL. a) First one refers to Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 3.0. This license provides that people are free to share and adapt the work for any purpose under some conditions. Any editor have to give credit to all authours and if one is distributing the changed work that is on mentioned license, they should distribute it under the same license. b) The second one refers to GNU General Public License. It provides the rights to copy, redistribute, and modify a work but all authors must be credited. Likewise in the first mentiond license, any modifications or instances based on the prime work has to be under the same license.
Wikipedia wants to have free content so it is crucial to find if the content does not bear copyright restrictions. If it has then it is a non-free content.
Non-free contents can only be used in wiki-articles only if its use is considered fair use in United States and also complies with the non-free content criteria.
Non-free content criteria are: a) if one cannot find an equivalent; b) small amout of such conents as much as possible; c) has to posses wikipedia's standards and be published outside of wiki-encyclopedia; d) to publish an image one has to provide all sorts of details and sources of an image; e) using non-free content is used for a purpose (like better understanding of an article by future readers);
