Does this mean I'm an Administrator or is this a step towards being Administrator? Cloudkitty (talk) 20:16, 29 May 2020 (UTC)Reply

  • None of the above. This is your first day editing Wikipedia. Successful administrator candidates have thousands of edits and quite often years of experience working on Wikipedia. You are at the beginning if a long journey. In all honesty, your goal shouldn't be to become an administrator. It's not a goal. It's an additional set of tasks you agree to have the ability to take on. It's not a social level that would place you above other people. There's plenty of work to be done on the project that doesn't involve becoming an administrator. Feel free to dig in and help out. Ask questions as needed, and we'll be happy to answer. To get help, you can post {{help}} here on your talk page, include your question after it, and someone will be along to help you. --Hammersoft (talk) 20:28, 29 May 2020 (UTC)Reply

Ok,no problem! Cloudkitty (talk) 20:34, 29 May 2020 (UTC)Reply

question

edit

If my account is hacked and I am blocked because of the person that hacked me, how would I let an Administrator know? Cloudkitty (talk) 20:35, 29 May 2020 (UTC)Reply

In that theoretical situation, you'd follow the instructions that were given if you were blocked - you could put the {{unblock}} template on your user page, asking for administrator help. It would probably be very hard to prove you'd regained control of your account, though - make sure you're using a good password so it doesn't get hacked in the first place! ~ mazca talk 20:45, 29 May 2020 (UTC)Reply
Note in general, we would not unblock you in this case, ever. See WP:COMPROMISED. --Yamla (talk) 21:29, 29 May 2020 (UTC)Reply

Drafts Review

edit

Can someone review my drafts, please and thank you.

Cloudkitty (talk) 20:59, 29 May 2020 (UTC)Reply

Reviews are not expedited on request. Once you submit it, it will enter a queue and reviewed by an experienced editor at some point. Praxidicae (talk) 21:26, 29 May 2020 (UTC)Reply
Just to add on to this, you can add {{subst:submit}} to the top of your draft to submit it for review. aboideausapere aude 21:34, 29 May 2020 (UTC)Reply

Ok, thanks for telling me that! Cloudkitty (talk) 21:43, 29 May 2020 (UTC)Reply

Help

Anything out there for me to help with? Cloudkitty (talk) 21:05, 29 May 2020 (UTC)Reply

Hi Cloudkitty, have you checked out the Task Center? It has some things that you can help out with. There is also a list of articles that need specific types of work done to them (fixing typos and grammar, etc) at the Community portal. aboideausapere aude 21:14, 29 May 2020 (UTC)Reply

Unblock requests

edit

Do not do this again. It is not your place to request an unblock on behalf of someone else. --Yamla (talk) 21:27, 29 May 2020 (UTC)Reply

  Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. We appreciate your contributions to the Draft:Armando Lucas Correa article, but for legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted.

You may use external websites or other printed material as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. This part is crucial: say it in your own words.

If the external website belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use the text—which means allowing other people to modify it—then you must include on the external site the statement: "I, (name), am the author of this article, (article name), and I release its content under the terms of the GNU Free Documentation License, Version 1.2 and later, and under the terms of the Creative Commons Attribute Share-Alike".

You might want to look at Wikipedia's policies and guidelines for more details, or ask a question at the Help Desk. You can also leave a message on my talk page. --Yamla (talk) 21:30, 29 May 2020 (UTC)Reply

Ok, thanks for letting me know! Cloudkitty (talk) 21:33, 29 May 2020 (UTC)Reply

Hello, Cloudkitty! Having an article declined at Articles for Creation can be disappointing.

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.

We can't help you unless you share the exact message you get when you attempt to edit. 331dot (talk) 22:20, 29 May 2020 (UTC)Reply

If you wish to be unblocked, you will need to address your use of multiple accounts. CaptainEek Edits Ho Cap'n! 01:04, 30 May 2020 (UTC)Reply
And your trolling. And your copyright violation. And your disruptive editing. Realistically, there's no chance of an unblock here. WP:SO will be available to you once you've matured. I suggest five years is probably the right amount of time, but it's available to you after six months. --Yamla (talk) 01:10, 30 May 2020 (UTC)Reply

I'm sorry

edit

I'm sorry. I understand now that it is not right to create sockpuppets and edit things for fun. People work super hard to make these articles and they don't want them to be edited and ruined. I'm so sorry for everything, could you please forgive me? Cloudkitty (talk) 18:31, 15 July 2021 (UTC)Reply

Request reason:

Hey, I am returning after 2 years to asked to be unblocked. I (Redacted) need to use Wikipedia for English and Science class. (Redacted) I am more mature than I used to be. Thank you. The reason that I created multiple accounts last time, is because the first one, Favoredkitty, was made on my school account whilst Cloudkitty was made on my phone. I used the "suggest password" option and could not find a way to view it so I could log in with other devices. I hope you understand. Thank you, and have a great day.

You are not blocked from reading Wikipedia. You would only need to be unblocked to edit Wikipedia, and you editing Wikipedia sounds like a bad idea. -- Deepfriedokra (talk) 18:29, 1 September 2022 (UTC)Reply
Didn't you say the same thing two years ago at Special:Diff/969875777? I'm glad that you didn't include any trolling this time, though. NinjaRobotPirate (talk) 18:58, 1 September 2022 (UTC)Reply
I'll add that Wikipedia should not be used for scholarly research. You could use it to find sources, but not use Wikipedia itself as a source, see Wikipedia is not a reliable source. 331dot (talk) 21:21, 1 September 2022 (UTC)Reply
Courses sometimes require students to edit Wikipedia articles. We encourage this with stuff like the Wiki Education Foundation. NinjaRobotPirate (talk) 01:12, 2 September 2022 (UTC)Reply
