Request reason:
Your reason here I was blocked because I kept pushing my theory that Jeff Sessions is a Democrat. However, the problem with this is that I stopped pushing the theory and now am just asking for a compromise. I am confused on why I would be blocked for simply trying to find a compromise.
Decline reason:

Request reason:
Look, I understand why you guys don't want to change Jeff Session's party affiliation on his articles. I have given up that quest. However, I do think that because there is doubt about his party affiliation that any mentions of his party should be removed from all articles. This way there won't be any arguments and we know that we won't get the fact wrong. After all, it is impossible to be wrong about his party affiliation if we don't include it in the first place. :)

Request reason:
The reason I was blocked maes no sense. I was specifically blocked for pushing the theory that Jeff Sessions is a Democrat, but by the time I was blocked I had stopped doing this and was simply looking for a solution to the problem. I clearly learned my lesson, so why is it that I am blocked now after I had stopped doing the offending action? As a new user it does not feel very welcoming.
Decline reason:
Jeff Sessions. Sure. You also seem to have changed all of his opponents to Republicans. This is either simply trolling, or a severe case of WP:CIR. I can't help you either way. I've removed your talk page access to prevent any future nonsense. Kuru (talk) 03:02, 14 November 2018 (UTC)

editYou have been blocked again and this block is longer. You have been advised to stop with this Jeff Sessions nonsense, and yet you have persisted. Let me be clear: This encyclopedia is not the place for your personal theories about Sessions. You will be blocked every time you try this. Cullen328 Let's discuss it 03:33, 29 November 2018 (UTC)

Request reason:
Let me start this off by saying that I fully deserved the original 2 week block I received. I was blocked for spreading my personal theories about Jeff Sessions and saying that pages about him should be edited to fit those views. Yes, I handled this terribly originally. I should of recognized that the purpose of Wikipedia was to report what reliable sources say, not to spread the theories of the people editing. I didn't understand that original research was not allowed. At the time I was a new user and did not fully understand the mission of this site. I fully apologize for the issues I caused and the time I took up. I deserved that original block. During that block, I educated myself on rules of the website and came to understand what I did wrong. Although I still personally believe that Jeff Sessions is a Democrat, I no longer think that Wikipedia should be edited to state this, as the sources, as skeptical as I am of them, say otherwise. When my original block ended I was determined to make these mistakes right. In the discussion about my edits on Cullen328's user talk page, I conceded that Jeff Sessions' party affiliation should not be changed to Democratic, and that I was wrong and stubborn for claiming that it should be. I said that I was done pushing my theory and would not argue about it anymore. However, I did say that because there is doubt about Jeff Sessions being a Republican and it is simply a theory, that the article shouldn't unequivocally state this as a fact. Wikipedia rules make clear the theories should be stated as what they are, theories. The argument I was making was simply that the claim that Sessions is Republican should be stated as a theory rather than a solid fact. I was no longer spreading my personal theories. I was simply explaining why I think this piece of information was wrongly stated as a clear cut fact rather than a theory. Despite this, Cullen328 blocked me again for spreading my Jeff Sessions theories and arguing about it, something that I stopped doing weeks ago. I am clearly long past doing those things, and now am arguing about something entirely different. Rather you believe that Jeff Session's Sessions' party affiliation should be stated as theory or fact, it should be clear that I am no longer spreading personal theories, have learned my lesson, and am now here to contribute positively to the encyclopedia. I promise that I will not spread any more personal theories on Wikipedia. If I do, you guys have the right to immediately block me. I understand how that comment could be interpreted as me still trying to spread my theories and hold to my original faulty argument that already got me banned, so I understand why Cullen328 blocked me again and I am not mad at him. I would actually like to thank him for showing me what I did wrong in the first place and helping me become a better editor. His misreading of my new comment that lead to him blocking me this time is not his fault. It is mine because I should have made the comment clearer, and it looked bad due to my history of arguing about this. Thank you for taking your time to consider this request, and I sincerely hope that you will accept it so that I can continue to help make Wikipedia a better place. I hope to help edit more articles in the future and to be a productive user here

I considered extending your block. You manifestly lack sufficient competence to edit here, or you are outright trolling. I can't tell which is which. I decided against extending your block and settled for just revoking your talk page access for the duration of your block. This at least gives us one month of quiet without dealing with your disruptive behaviour. I warn you, the next block is likely to be substantially longer. Yamla (talk) 11:11, 30 November 2018 (UTC)

Request reason:
Hah, my block is only 3 months long ? LMAO, I've been such an obvious Russian troll and I still have gotten such light punishments. You guys even fell for my Jeff Sessions thing and thought I was being serious about my apology. You guys are too chicken to block me for longer. I would dare you to extend my block, but that would never happen. You are nothing but weak Americans. You guys have no balls. Papa Joe Stalin will guide Mother Russia to victory and defeat all of you. MOTHER RUSSIA WILL PREVAIL!
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.

I was blocked for being a Russian troll who vandalized election articles by switching the political parties of the politicans. Afterwards I claimed that these edits were done with good intentions, and you guys fell for it! And you barely punished me for any of this. Even when I admitted that I was a Russian troll and dared you to extend my block, you guys still didn't extend it! This whole thing proves that Americans have no balls. I once again dare you guys to extend my block. We both know that you guys are too chicken to ever do that. Americans have no balls.

Request reason:
I apologize for what I did on the Jeffery Tomblin talk page. I thought that wikipedia talk pages were supposed to act as forums to talk about and give opinions on the article subject. I now see that I violated policy by posting jokes and opinions instead of staying on topic, I promise that I won't do this again. I am very confused about why this minor offense is worthy of a 3 YEAR block? All I did was post some crap on a talk page because I misunderstood some rules. As long as I don't do it again and stay on topic in the future shouldn't this warrant a week block at most? Sorry, but I am baffled about why this offense means I and the other people on my range can't edit for 3 years. Hopefully y'all can clear this issue up!

This request was declined for the reason of "Based on how much vandalism has come from this IP over the years, a 3-year block is justifiable. Everytime a block ends, new vandalism comes and more justifications of why bad edits should be allowed." I checked the history of the range to see if it is true that there have consistently been vandalism over the years. Looking through the history, this is clearly not true. There was vandalism from November of 2018 to February of 2019, a period in which I never used Wikipedia. Between that February almost 2 years ago and now, there have been no vandalism or any issues on this range. According to the unblock history, this IP has been unblocked since February 2020. In summary, this IP only had issues during one 3 month period almost 2 years ago, and there have been no issues in the 8 month period it has been unblocked. Why should me and other people on this range be unable to use it for 3 years for a minor offense? There have been no other issues for 8 months, so this seems to me like an overreaction. Could you please lower the block time to make it reasonable? I promise that I will be more careful in following guidelines in the future. I don't see why there should be this severe of a punishment just because they were unrelated incidents by different people 2 years ago. This is not a consistent pattern of vandalism, it was one 3 month period. That was it.

The block is long but given the history of vandalism and given the unblock requests (which are, at best, tiresome and at worst, outright trolling), I endorse the block. I took a look through the edits and couldn't find anything constructive. Admittedly, I didn't look at every single edit but of the ones I sampled, all were actively harmful. So, there's no perceivable benefit in lifting the block. Yamla (talk) 11:18, 20 October 2020 (UTC)

Uh what?! The points I raised were not addressed here at all. My entire point was that "the history of vandalism and unblock requests" were all from a 3 month period almost 2 YEARS ago. There has not been one issue on this since then until my mistake. Since this point was entirely ignored by the previous admin who looked at the request, this should clearly be revisited so that my point can actually be addressed. To make myself clear so my point will not be ignored again: Why should me and every other potential editor on this range not be able to edit because of unrelated incidents by different people 2 years ago? That has nothing to do with the one mistake I made the other day which I already apologized for. The editor vandal(s) from then has not returned, and are likely on a different IP range anyways considering how much they change. There has been no recurring pattern of abuse on this range since February of 2019 outside of one mistake I made, so there is absolutely no reason to suspect that there will be further issues. 67.181.231.129 (talk) 03:22, 21 October 2020 (UTC)

WOW. I am pissed. I made an extremely reasonable arugment that the range has no "history of disruption". It was a 3 month period 2 years ago followed by no problems at all. Both of the peevious responses to my request have completely ignored this cruical point and pretended that I didnt say it. I want my point clearly addressed so you can explain why you would expect any further issues on a range that had no issues for 2 years outaide of my recent mistake. Note that I will keep making requests until my arguement is actually addressed. Not addressing my arguement is and lying to me about a "history of disruption on this range" is going against your administratice duties to fairly respond to unblock requests.67.181.231.129 (talk) 15:10, 21 October 2020 (UTC)
