Decline reason:

This unblock request has been declined due to your history of vandalism and/or disruption to this encyclopedia. However, we are willing to give you another chance provided that you can earn back the trust of the Wikipedia community. To be unblocked you need to demonstrate that you are willing and able to contribute positively to Wikipedia. You can do this by:

• Familiarizing yourself with our basic rules.
• Read our guide to improving articles
• Pick any pre-existing article you wish to improve.
• If you have trouble choosing an article to improve, see this index of articles needing improvement for ideas. Once you have decided on the article you will propose improvements to:
  1. Click the Edit tab at the top of that article;
  2. Copy the portion of the prose from that article that you will be proposing changes to. However:
     • do not copy the "infobox" from the start of the article (i.e., markup like this: {{infobox name|...}});
     • do not copy any image placement code (i.e., markup like this: [[File:Name.jpg|thumb|caption]]);
     • do not copy the page's categories from the bottom of the page (i.e., markup like this: [[Category:Name]]);
     • do not copy the stub tag (if there) from the bottom of the page (i.e., markup like this: {{Foo stub}});
  3. Click edit at your talk page, and paste at the bottom under a new section header (like this: == [[Article title]] ==) the copied content but do not save yet;
  4. Place your cursor in the edit summary box and paste there an edit summary in the following form which specifies the name of the article you copied from and links to it (this is required for mandatory copyright attribution): "Copied content from [[exact Name of Article]]; see that article's history for attribution."
  5. You can now save the page. However, if your edits will include citations to reliable sources (which they should), add the following template to the end of your prose: {{reflist-talk}}. Once you have added the template, click Publish changes.
• Now, edit that content. Propose significant and well researched improvements by editing the selected portion of the article. Please note that we are not looking for basic typo corrections, or small unreferenced additions; your edits should be substantial, and reflect relevant policies.
• When you are done with your work, re-request unblocking and an administrator will review your proposed edits.
  • If we (including the original blocking admin) are convinced that your proposed edits will improve Wikipedia as an encyclopedia, you will be unblocked.

If you need help while working with your proposed edits, you may add "{{Help me|your question here ~~~~}}" to your talk page. Thank you. 331dot (talk) 10:17, 23 March 2019 (UTC)

@Materialscientist:I'm a newbie.I registered and then put my tel number on my personal page and then I am blocked by an administrator. I have known that it's advertising.I'll never do this. I have submitted an unblock request yesterday,but it's declined by an administrator. He said I need to do more constructive contributions to English Wikipedia.But I'm not an Englishman.I'm a Chinese.I only know a little English and I can only fix typo in English Wikipedia.Please unblock me.Though I can't make very big constructive contributions in English Wikipedia now,but I will contribute little by little.And I won't do anything harmful to Wikipedia,so the blocking to me is no longer needed.Thanks!

Decline reason:

You were provided a path forward to being unblocked. If you lack sufficient competence to follow that, we will not lift the block. That's okay, I certainly don't have sufficient competence in any other language to contribute on those Wikipedia projects. Perhaps you would be happiest contributing only on the Wikipedia project for your own native language. If you change your mind and believe you can be productive here on the English Wikipedia project, follow the instructions you've already been given. Yamla (talk) 13:44, 24 March 2019 (UTC)

Decline reason:

You copied-and-pasted the content of Founder Group to your talkpage in this edit with no attribution, making it a copyright violation. You made no further changes to this page after doing so except to add this unblock appeal. Yunshui ^雲_水 10:09, 6 May 2020 (UTC)

@Yunshui:I have added "In 2020, Founder Group was filed for bankruptcy reorganization by Bank of Beijing." and its references in it, in the first paragraph, which is not exist in the original article. Maybe you didn't notice it. Please check it again. Thank you! Kermitmailbox99 (talk) 10:13, 6 May 2020 (UTC)

You are right; since you had not followed the instructions to allow an assessment of your changes, I did indeed miss that small addition. The source will need to be checked by someone who can read Chinese; it appears to be an opinion piece by a non-staff writer, but I don't understand enough of the language to be able to assess its suitability as a source. Yunshui ^雲_水 10:22, 6 May 2020 (UTC)

So someone else will check it? Kermitmailbox99 (talk) 10:30, 6 May 2020 (UTC)

(edit conflict) Yunshui, it doesn't appear to be too unsuitable as a source. Doesn't seem like an opinion piece, more like some legitimate mainstream news by Tencent. As a source, it's not perfect but not a bad attempt either. Is a better source possible, one by a bit more credible news? (like Global Times 環球時報) If not, using this as a source is definitely an indication of GF but for credibility, it seems to be on the borderline. Eumat114 formerly TLOM (Message) 10:31, 6 May 2020 (UTC)

The disclaimer at the bottom seems to indicate that it's user-submitted, but that might be a mistranslation; I can't really assess non-English sources. There's also the matter of the copyright violation and the paucity of the change made ( Please note that we are not looking for basic typo corrections, or small unreferenced additions; your edits should be substantial, and reflect relevant policies.), but if another administrator wants to unblock, I won't argue. Yunshui ^雲_水 10:38, 6 May 2020 (UTC)

Yunshui, you're referring to this disclaimer: "免责声明：本文来自腾讯新闻客户端自媒体，不代表腾讯网的观点和立场。"? Oh yeah I missed it. Appears that it is user-submitted; some Chinese blog post commented that they posted "misinformation" and "harmed people". Hence it isn't 100% suitable as a source for such a claim. But as I said, the inclusion of a source seems to be an indication of GF. Eumat114 formerly TLOM (Message) 10:43, 6 May 2020 (UTC)

I added one more source so the citiation would be more reliable. Kermitmailbox99 (talk) 11:11, 6 May 2020 (UTC)

Kermitmailbox99 and Yunshui: Much better now, as the source is no longer a user submission, but is a legit news report, at least from what I've found. But the previous source can be removed. Eumat114 formerly TLOM (Message) 11:48, 6 May 2020 (UTC)

@Yunshui:I have removed the previous source. Please check it and determine if I can be unblocked. Thanks! Kermitmailbox99 (talk) 13:03, 6 May 2020 (UTC)

Kermitmailbox99, just a tip. Yunshui said that “we are not looking for basic typo corrections, or small unreferenced additions; your edits should be substantial, and reflect relevant policies”. In this case a new draft would be better than just this new piece of info. Looking forward to your new article creation! Eumat114 formerly TLOM (Message) 13:16, 6 May 2020 (UTC)

Kermitmailbox99, I am not an admin, just some passerby who came across a request to look at a Chinese source. The one you need to contact is Yunshui? Eumat114 formerly TLOM(Message) 12:56, 6 May 2020 (UTC) (reply)

@Eumat114:OK. Thanks. Kermitmailbox99 (talk) 13:03, 6 May 2020 (UTC)

I've said my piece on this one; I cannot assess the source myself and therefore cannot make an informed decision on whether it shows that you understand Wikipedia's sourcing requirements. Even if it does, I still think that the inability to follow clear instructions and the minor nature of the edit, to say nothing of the copyright violation, are causes for concern. I have, however, stated that any other admin is free to unblock, so you may file a new unblock appeal if you wish to have your block reviewed again. Yunshui ^雲_水 13:17, 6 May 2020 (UTC)

Founder Group

Founder Group (Chinese: 方正集团) is a major Chinese technology conglomerate that deals with information technology, pharmaceuticals, real estate, finance, and commodities trading. It is divided into five major industry groups, each covering a separate industry: PKU Founder IT Group (IT), PKU Healthcare Group (healthcare and pharmaceuticals), PKU Resource Group (real estate), Founder Financial (finance), and Founder Commodities (commodities trading).

Founder Group was established by Peking University in 1986. It currently has six public companies listed in stock exchanges of Shanghai, Shenzhen, and Hong Kong, and more than 80 independently funded enterprises and joint ventures. Founder's motto is "世界在变 创新不变" (shì jiè zài biàn, chuàng xīn bu biàn), which roughly translates to "The world is changing; innovation is not". The company is currently moving to establish itself as a computer chip designer. Founder are also owners of the largest mall in the world, New South China Mall, acquired from Dongguan Sanyuan Yinghui Investment & Development which had run the mall extremely poorly.

In 2020, Founder Group was filed for bankruptcy reorganization by Bank of Beijing. The gross liabilities of the group that time was up to 303,000,000,000 Renminbi. Founder Group's stock dropped sharply for nearly 10% then.

History

Founder Group was established in 1986 by Peking University. Professor Wang Xuan of Peking University became Founder's first key person, as the Chinese-character laser phototypesetting system that he invented provided the foundation on which Founder was developed. Wang brought Founder into the television and radio industries, positioned the company to expand overseas, and supported the diversification of the group. By 1989, total orders for the phototypesetting system exceeded 100 million yuan.

Between 1990 and 1994, under the guidance of Wang Xuan, Founder released multiple technologies, including a long-distance newspaper transfer technology, a color desktop publishing system, a computer management system for gathering and editing news, and the new generation of software and hardware systems. Founder's publishing system became the most popular product of its kind, capturing 80% of the Chinese newspaper market in Hong Kong, Southeast Asia, and North America.

Starting in 1991, Founder started developing Chinese PostScript fonts in Windows.

Throughout the late 1990s, publishing systems developed by Founder's researchers dominated the domestic market. Additionally, they entered the international market, with products being exported to dozens of countries all over the world. In the meantime, Founder Group sold its core technologies with independent intellectual rights to global manufacturers, who then applied these technologies in their products around the world.

In February 2006, professor Wang Xuan died.

In early 2009, the Group established a new three-year development strategy and put forward its development goal to transform itself into a diversified investment holding group.

In 2016 Founder Group sold most of the shares of Founder BEA Trust to Wuhan Financial Holdings Group.

Industry groups

Founder Group is currently divided into five major industry groups: PKU Founder IT Group (IT), PKU Healthcare Group (healthcare and pharmaceuticals), PKU Resource Group (real estate), Founder Financial (finance), and Founder Commodities (commodities trading).

PKU Founder IT Group

PKU Founder IT Group (北大方正信产集团) is a leader in China's IT industry, possessing more than a dozen technological enterprises, two of which employ 15,000 employees. Its subsidiary, Founder Technology, is the second largest personal computer distributor in China. The industry group covers a wide range of products; from software and industrial solutions to the mobile internet, PCB, semiconductors, hardware, and value-added services.

PKU Healthcare Group

In 2003, Founder Group, in collaboration with Peking University, established the PKU Healthcare Group (Chinese: 北大医疗产业集团), and immediately began work on the Peking University International Hospital project. In the same year, the Group acquired Southwest Synthetic Pharmaceutical (now PKU Healthcare). With the help of PKU Health Science Center, PKU Healthcare has developed its own hospital network and is now a leading figure in China's healthcare and pharmaceuticals industry.

As at 31 December 2015 PKU Healthcare Group owned 40.38% shares of PKU Healthcare (SZSE: 000788).

PKU Resource Group

PKU Resource Group (Chinese: 北大资源集团) is a real estate holding group specializing in real estate development, education investment, commercial real estate operations, and property management. Since 2013, part of the assets were backdoor listed as Peking University Resources (Holdings).

Incorporated in 1992, PKU Resource Group itself is currently 40% owned by Peking University and 30% by Founder Group. However, Peking University entrusted Founder Group to manage the company. An additional 30% was owned by a third party (Chinese: 利德科技发展).

PKU Resource Group formed a 51-49 joint venture PKU Resource Group Holdings with Founder Group.

Founder Financial

Founder Financial (方正金融) is an industry group that covers securities, futures, mutual funds, investment banking, direct investment, trusts, corporate financing, insurance, commercial banking, and leasing. The group controls ten enterprises.

Request reason:

I have edited Founder Group and added a piece of news of it.

I also added a reference, which is reliable.

I followed the Wikipedia's editing rules as carefully as I can to avoid mistakes, such as copyright violation, etc.

Please unblock me if you think my edit is proper. Thank you!

The change of the article I edited was published above here in my talk page.

Decline reason:

Procedural decline only. This unblock request has been open for more than two weeks but has not proven sufficient for any reviewing administrator to take action. You are welcome to request a new block review if you substantially reword your request. NinjaRobotPirate (talk) 09:14, 22 June 2020 (UTC)

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.

By the way, can I collapse the first 5 unblock requests using {{collapse top}}{{collapse bottom}} ? I found my talk page too messy but I don't know whether I will be banned/ blocked if I do this, since the unblock requests are important to the admins who are dealing with my request. Kermitmailbox99 (talk) 10:03, 7 May 2020 (UTC)

I guess there should be no problems in doing so, provided that you clearly mark it as a "past unblock request". Archival might be another option, as I agree that the page is genuinely cluttered up. I might try to deal with this for you. Eumat114 formerly TLOM (Message) 02:48, 8 May 2020 (UTC)

Thank you for your help. Kermitmailbox99 (talk) 10:17, 8 May 2020 (UTC)

Comment. This user is also constructive in zhwiki. I see that this user first posted his phone no at the Chinese WP, but wasn't stopped by an edit filter and the number was subsequently removed. Hence even back then, the user probably wasn't intending to spam. However, to show that you really want to contribute to wikipedia, I recommend drafting a new article to show that you really understand WP's guidelines and policies. Eumat114 formerly TLOM (Message) 14:04, 6 May 2020 (UTC)

Please do not remove declined unblock requests. They must stay on this page until you are unblocked. @Eumat114: please find something else to do than edit this page. NinjaRobotPirate (talk) 16:33, 12 May 2020 (UTC)

NinjaRobotPirate, it's getting too crowded for the requests to stay on this page. Is it okay to collapse the declined requests in a box? Eumat114 formerly TLOM (Message) 01:16, 13 May 2020 (UTC)

@NinjaRobotPirate: I didn't mean to do that. The reason of doing that is the requests are too many, making the talk page messy. Is collapsing an alternative option? If it's still not, please ask someone not blocked to move the requests. I found myself unable to do it because of the active block (I can edit my talk page, but I can't edit the archived page so I can't move that back). Thank you.

Unblock discussion June 6, 2020

• @Yunshui and NinjaRobotPirate: User has a fairly stale unblock request with an example of how he would improve an article. Should we decline? accept? carry to WP:AN? --Deep fried okra (schalte ein) 18:22, 3 June 2020 (UTC)

I haven't commented about this later submission, and I can't tell what the proposed edit is. NinjaRobotPirate (talk) 18:52, 3 June 2020 (UTC)

Like I said previously, I can't adequately judge the validity of the sources being used, so consider me an abstention. Yunshui ^雲_水 08:02, 4 June 2020 (UTC)

Double Gah. Unless a user talk is bigger than that of a certain user who shall remain nameless, it should be left alone. Removing content really impedes an unblock review. --Deep fried okra (schalte ein) 13:53, 4 June 2020 (UTC)

@Kermitmailbox99: We need to be able to see the changes and verify the sourcing. Please. --Deep fried okra (schalte ein) 13:53, 4 June 2020 (UTC)

@Deepfriedokra:Did you mean changes in this article? If so, give me some time and I'll tell you the changes and sources soon. I'm now preparing for it. By the way, could you let me get rid of the IP blocking? I'm in China and I need to use some open proxies. Lots of them have been blocked. Kermitmailbox99 (talk) 12:40, 5 June 2020 (UTC)

I added content below:

In 2020, Founder Group was filed for bankruptcy reorganization by Bank of Beijing. The gross liabilities of the group that time was up to 303,000,000,000 Renminbi. Founder Group's stock dropped sharply for nearly 10% then.

Kermitmailbox99, you can keep it there, as the article improvements that you made are still kept there, and once the block is over it would be useful. Eumat114 formerly TLOM (Message) 13:48, 5 June 2020 (UTC)

3D computer graphics

Software

3D computer graphics software produces computer-generated imagery (CGI) through 3D modeling and 3D rendering or produces 3D models for analytic, scientific and industrial purposes.

File formats

Main article: List of file formats § 3D graphics

There are many varieties of files supporting 3D graphics, for example, Wavefront .obj files and .x DirectX files. Each file type generally tends to have its own unique data structure.

• .obj: A format created by Wavefront Technologies in around 1990, which is still widely used today. A vast variety of softwares, including Blender, Apple Preview, and Autodesk Maya, are able to render or/and edit this type of file.
• .x: A format of legacy DirectX 3D Graphics, developed by Microsoft. It was introduced with DirectX 2.0, which has text encoding. With the release of DirectX 3.0, a binary version of the format was created. This type of files can be created with Microsoft DirectX SDK plugins, Blender, DeleD and so on. Exported files can be used in programs such as 3ds Max and Maya. However, from 2014, this file format has been deprecated, with FBX becoming a more capable modern format.
• FBX: Proprietary file format created by Kaydara. Since 2006, the year when Kaydara was acquired by Autodesk, Autodesk has owned FBX.. It is an "adaptable file format", available in both binary and ASCII format. It can be made use of between different editors and game engines.

Each file format can be accessed through their respective applications, such as DirectX files, and Quake. Alternatively, files can be accessed through third-party standalone programs, or via manual decompilation. For conversion between these formats, there are a wide range of web-based online services and software which can help, such as MeshLab and Babel3D (a web converter).

Help with Unblock #8

Could any admin review my request?

I understand it is not possible for voluntary admins to react to every request quickly, and they have their own business to deal with. However, this request I made a month ago followed admin's instructions completely, and it is easy to review. If anyone wants to review, this DIFF of the section I improved can be accessed for easier work. Thank you very much! Kermitmailbox99 (talk) 03:12, 29 August 2022 (UTC)

Your request is open and pending. Additional requests for help don't speed up the process. 331dot (talk) 08:10, 29 August 2022 (UTC)

Maybe others feel differently, but I'm wondering if your improvement is for the wrong article- the sub article is where the actual file format information is. 331dot (talk) 08:14, 29 August 2022 (UTC)

@331dot:Please see Talk:3D computer graphics. There is a to-do list indicating that a description of common formats is needed. Kermitmailbox99 (talk) 10:35, 29 August 2022 (UTC)
