Welcome!

Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia!

Someone using this IP address, 101.175.134.41, has made unconstructive edits, which have been reverted. If you did this, in the future please try to contribute in a more constructive manner. If you'd like to experiment with the syntax, please do so in the sandbox rather than in articles. If you did not do this, you may wish to consider getting a username to avoid confusion with other editors.

You don't have to log in to read or edit pages on Wikipedia, but creating an account is quick, free, requires no personal information, and has many benefits. Without a username, your IP address is used to identify you.

Some good links for newcomers are:

Please sign your name on talk pages using four tildes (~~~~); this will automatically produce your name and a timestamp. If you need help, check out Wikipedia:Questions, ask me on my talk page, or place {{helpme}} on your talk page and someone will show up shortly to answer your questions.

Again, welcome!

  Please refrain from making unconstructive edits to Wikipedia, as you did at Israel at the 2016 Summer Olympics. Your edits appear to constitute vandalism and have been reverted. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. Repeated vandalism can result in the loss of editing privileges. Thank you. Alex Cohn (talk) 05:53, 26 January 2017 (UTC)Reply

If this is a shared IP address, and you did not make the edits, consider creating an account for yourself or logging in with an existing account so you can avoid further irrelevant notices.

  Please stop your disruptive editing. If you continue to vandalize Wikipedia, as you did with this edit to Drowned World/Substitute for Love, you may be blocked from editing. Jim1138 (talk) 07:38, 26 January 2017 (UTC)Reply

@Jim1138: What have I been doing lately? I'm confused. 101.175.134.41 (talk) 07:44, 26 January 2017 (UTC)Reply
Adding good article and page protect status to Drowned World/Substitute for Love which does have any of those. Jim1138 (talk) 07:46, 26 January 2017 (UTC)Reply
@Jim1138: See revision number 761922332. It is a good article. But are you saying that adding a padlock to the top bar of the article does not protect the page? If I create an account and become an admin how do I protect a page? 101.175.134.41 (talk) 07:49, 26 January 2017 (UTC)Reply
The GA was added by the previous edit to yours (i.e. disruptive editing) not by consensus of the community. See wp:Good article for how to get a page nominated. Just adding the padlock does not protect the page. Yes, if you become an admin, you can protect a page. I would encourage you to become an admin. You wouldn't want me as one.   Cheers Jim1138 (talk) 07:55, 26 January 2017 (UTC)Reply
@Jim1138: Why wouldn't I want you as an admin? Admins are amazing! 101.175.134.41 (talk) 07:58, 26 January 2017 (UTC)Reply

  You may be blocked from editing without further warning the next time you vandalize Wikipedia, as you did with this edit to User talk:L3X1. Jim1138 (talk) 08:15, 26 January 2017 (UTC)Reply

 
You have been blocked from editing for a period of 31 hours for persistent vandalism. Once the block has expired, you are welcome to make useful contributions. If you think there are good reasons why you should be unblocked, you may request an unblock by first reading the guide to appealing blocks, then adding the following text to the bottom of your talk page: {{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}}.  Widr (talk) 08:19, 26 January 2017 (UTC)Reply

Banned

edit

I Have Been Blocked By User:Widr, And I Don't Wanna Be Blocked! :(

This Isn't Even Very Good! :(

I Need To Have A Good Reason! :(

I Want To Be Here To Build An Encyclopedia... :(

I Don't Really Wanna Let Anyone To Block Me! >:(

Hello! Hello, admins! Please unblock me! I did not receive any warning, notification or opportunity to discuss Jim1138's concern prior to my banning and I am not a vandal. Jim1138 does not allow users to e-mail him and I cannot post on Jim1138's user talk page or any admin page to discuss this! 101.175.134.41 (talk) 21:06, 26 January 2017 (UTC)Reply

Still Banned

edit

I haven't heard anything about why I was banned, how long I will be banned or whether there has been any review progress. 101.175.134.41 (talk) 21:06, 26 January 2017 (UTC)Reply

Please take a look at Guide to appealing blocks, then add the following to the bottom of this page, substituting "your reason here" for why you should not be blocked anymore: {{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}} --Alex Cohn (talk) 21:11, 26 January 2017 (UTC)Reply

Getting Unblocked

edit
 
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:

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
    1. understand what you have been blocked for,
    2. will not continue to cause damage or disruption, and
    3. will make useful contributions instead.

Please read the guide to appealing blocks for more information. Optimist on the run (talk) 21:36, 26 January 2017 (UTC)Reply


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.
