Hi, Diannaa, I'm somewhat new to this, can you please help me understand how that was a copyright violation if I cited the source? Did I just need to paraphrase instead of quote? Did WP complain? Also, did you archive my previous edits so they can't be reverted too again? They're all greyed out. I'm very confused what happened here. — Preceding unsigned comment added by HazelBasil (talkcontribs) 22:36, 4 January 2022 (UTC)Reply

Heads up that pings won't work if you don't sign the post using ~~~~. Pinging here so she sees it: Diannaa GorillaWarfare (she/her • talk) 02:51, 6 January 2022 (UTC)Reply
It's not okay to copypaste text from elsehere, even if you cite your source. Everything you add to Wikipedia needs to be written in your own words please. The revisions containing the copyright material were hidden from view under under criterion RD1 of the revision deletion policy, and that's why you can't access them any more. — Diannaa (talk) 13:26, 6 January 2022 (UTC)Reply

Sending you appreciation

edit

Since I created Apple worker organization and in my capacity within Tech Workers Coalition I am WP:INVOLVED, I've stayed out of commenting on the related dispute matters of the various articles about different individuals, including yourself, but want to say I appreciate you. I cannot comment in depth on any content disputes/matters, but I'm always happy to answer any wiki/policy related questions. I cannot say where/what consensus will be, but can ensure any concerns/questions you have are at least addressed/engaged with. So far that seems to be the case.

Arbitration motion regarding HazelBasil and SquareInARoundHole

edit

For intractable differences of opinions and conduct both on- and off-wiki, the Committee resolves that HazelBasil (talk · contribs) and SquareInARoundHole (talk · contribs) are placed under an indefinite interaction ban, pursuant to the standard exceptions. This also precludes SquareInARoundHole from editing the Ashley Gjøvik article.

In addition, for comments and conduct made both on- and off-wiki, HazelBasil is indefinitely blocked from editing Wikipedia.

IP edits

edit

Hello. If you made the IP edits concerning your case, then the answer to your questions about your block is for you to e-mail the Arbitration Committee and ask them. The e-mail address is arbcom-en@wikimedia.org, also reachable using the "e-mail this user" feature at User:Arbitration Committee. I believe this is also the only avenue for you to appeal the block on this account, since it was imposed by ArbCom. Socking, using an IP or otherwise, is not permitted, hence the block on the IP. If the IP was not you but someone impersonating you, please excuse the intrusion. Yngvadottir (talk) 05:33, 13 June 2022 (UTC)Reply
