Help request

Hi, I just joined Wikipedia though I have lurked for awhile as a guest. I'd like to help make articles Featured Articles, but how do I get started doing that? — Preceding unsigned comment added by EasyTitle19 (talkcontribs) 19:34, 10 June 2021 (UTC)Reply

Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia! You'll want to check out WP:DEV for information on article development, and WP:FACR for the criteria used for designating featured articles. Any particular article you're planning to start out with? TGHL ↗ 🍁 19:46, 10 June 2021 (UTC)Reply
I don't have any particular article, just one that seems like it would make a good Featured Article. Maybe one relating to chess, as that is a passion of mine. Thanks for the links, I will look at them. — Preceding unsigned comment added by EasyTitle19 (talkcontribs) 19:51, 10 June 2021 (UTC)Reply
My pleasure! In that case, consider joining WikiProject Chess, an optional group to help to focus the efforts of editors on improving chess-related articles. Hope to see you around soon! TGHL ↗ 🍁 19:58, 10 June 2021 (UTC)Reply

Thank you for the suggestion about the Project, I joined it and am in the process of reviewing one of its articles to see if it is a Good Article. It's challenging but I'm enjoying it. EasyTitle19 (talk) 23:25, 10 June 2021 (UTC)Reply

Request reason:

Can I please be unblocked? I am not a sock of anyone, and I do realize I have sent some inappropriate e-mails to some people here, but I will not do that any more. I have some issues with Good Articles that I need to resolve, and I can't do that while blocked. EasyTitle19 (talk) 13:50, 11 June 2021 (UTC)Reply

Decline reason:

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.
