Hello, I'm Blaze Wolf. I noticed that you made a change to an article, Toys "R" Us, but you didn't provide a source. I’ve removed it for now, but if you’d like to include a citation to a reliable source and re-add it, please do so! If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thanks. ― Blaze Wolf^Talk_{Blaze Wolf#6545} 19:44, 30 August 2022 (UTC)

That was unfortunately the only reference I was able to find via Google search. I could have searched for more but I didn't bother. However, that's not to say that there could be other sources out there. LionelModelTrains (talk) 22:57, 5 September 2022 (UTC)

Username notice

Welcome to Wikipedia. I noticed that your username, "LionelModelTrains", may not comply with our username policy. Please note that you may not use a username that represents the name of a company, group, organization, product, service, or website. Examples of usernames that are not allowed include "XYZ Company", "MyWidgetsUSA.com", and "Foobar Museum of Art". However, you are permitted to use a username that contains such a name if it identifies you individually (not your role), such as "Sara Smith at XYZ Company", "Mark at WidgetsUSA", or "FoobarFan87", but not "SEO Manager at XYZ Company".

Please also note that Wikipedia does not allow accounts to be shared by multiple people and that you may not advocate for or promote any company, group, organization, product, service, or website, regardless of your username. Please also read our paid editing policy and our conflict of interest guideline. If you are a single individual and are willing to contribute to Wikipedia in an unbiased manner, please request a change of username by completing the form at Special:GlobalRenameRequest, choosing a username that complies with our username policy. Alternatively, you can just create a new account and use that for editing. If you believe that your username does not violate our policy, please leave a note here explaining why. Thank you.   –Skywatcher68 (talk) 21:25, 30 August 2022 (UTC)

Your submission at Articles for creation: Legacy Toys (August 31)

Your recent article submission has been rejected. If you have further questions, you can ask at the Articles for creation help desk or use Wikipedia's real-time chat help. The reason left by CNMall41 was: This submission is contrary to the purpose of Wikipedia. The comment the reviewer left was: Please do not resubmit without addressing concerns from previous reviewer. The source does not show notability. You will need to add sources that meet WP:ORGCRIT.

Your submission at Articles for creation: PicWicToys (August 31)

Your recent article submission has been rejected. If you have further questions, you can ask at the Articles for creation help desk or use Wikipedia's real-time chat help. The reason left by CNMall41 was: This submission is contrary to the purpose of Wikipedia. The comment the reviewer left was: Same with this one. Do NOT resubmit drafts without addressing the concerns of the previous reviewer. The reference does not show notability so you will need to add sources that meet WP:ORGCRIT. Simply resubmitting with more content and not adding the references will not suffice.

CNMall41 (talk) 05:10, 31 August 2022 (UTC)

I added additional references that I was able to find via Google search. I hope they are good enough. LionelModelTrains (talk) 22:53, 5 September 2022 (UTC)

Links to draft articles

Please do not introduce links in actual articles to draft articles, as you did to Smyths. Since a draft is not yet ready for the main article space, it is not in shape for ordinary readers, and links from articles should not go to a draft. Such links are contrary to the Manual of Style. These links have been removed. Thank you. - Arjayay (talk) 13:04, 31 August 2022 (UTC)

September 2022

Welcome to Wikipedia. Because we have a policy against usernames which give the impression that the account represents a group, club, organization, company, or website, I have blocked this account. Please take a moment to either create a new account, or request a change of username of your current account here. The new username must represent only yourself as an individual and comply with Wikipedia's username policy.

You should also read our conflict of interest guideline and be aware that promotional editing is not acceptable regardless of the username you choose. Additionally, if your contributions to Wikipedia form all or part of work for which you are, or expect to be, paid, you must disclose who is paying you to edit.

Please also note that you are permitted to use a username that contains the name of a company or organization if it identifies you individually, such as "Sara Smith at XYZ Company", "Mark at WidgetsUSA", or "FoobarFan87", but not "SEO Manager at XYZ Company".

If your username does not represent a group, organization or website, you may appeal this username block by adding the text {{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}} at the bottom of your talk page.

You may simply create a new account, but you may prefer to change your username to one that complies with our username policy, so that your past contributions are associated with your new username. If you would prefer to change your username, you may appeal this username block by adding the text

{{unblock-un|new username|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}}

at the bottom of your talk page. Please note that you may only request a name that is not already in use, so please check here for a listing of already taken names.

 Thank you. 331dot (talk) 18:14, 5 September 2022 (UTC)

Decline reason:

Procedural decline so you can open up a new unblock request for the name you proposed below. — Daniel Case (talk) 06:33, 6 September 2022 (UTC)

I've fixed the formatting, I assume you meant "TransistorRadio" as your new name? 331dot (talk) 18:23, 5 September 2022 (UTC)

Yes LionelModelTrains (talk) 18:41, 5 September 2022 (UTC)

Rename not successful

The chosen username is too similar to an existing username or it used to be username of someone else that got renamed. Please choose again -- Deepfriedokra (talk) 19:51, 5 September 2022 (UTC)

Here's my new username. HotSauceFrenchFries LionelModelTrains (talk) 22:51, 5 September 2022 (UTC)

Username Change

I would like to change my username to HotSauceFrenchFries. LionelModelTrains (talk) 15:40, 6 September 2022 (UTC)

Please stop your disruptive editing. If you continue to add unsourced or poorly sourced content, as you did at Pennsylvania Real Estate Investment Trust, you may be blocked from editing. - FlightTime (open channel) 00:18, 7 September 2022 (UTC)

You may be blocked from editing without further warning the next time you add unsourced or poorly sourced material to Wikipedia, as you did at Bloomingdale's. - FlightTime (open channel) 00:21, 7 September 2022 (UTC)

You may be blocked from editing without further warning the next time you add unsourced or poorly sourced material to Wikipedia, as you did at One World Trade Center. - FlightTime (open channel) 22:28, 7 September 2022 (UTC)

I understand HotSauceFrenchFries (talk) 22:31, 7 September 2022 (UTC)

If you understand, why do you keep doing it? - FlightTime (open channel) 22:34, 7 September 2022 (UTC)

One World Trade Center has 104 floors, not 94. HotSauceFrenchFries (talk) 22:35, 7 September 2022 (UTC)

I'm saying it don't, but if you change stuff you need to also provide a reliable source to support your changes. - FlightTime (open channel) 22:38, 7 September 2022 (UTC)

Blocked as a sockpuppet

You have been blocked indefinitely from editing for abusing multiple accounts as a sockpuppet of User:The Train Master per the evidence presented at Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/The Train Master. Note that multiple accounts are allowed, but not for illegitimate reasons, and any contributions made while evading blocks or bans may be reverted or deleted.

If you think there are good reasons for being unblocked, please read the guide to appealing blocks, then add the following text below the block notice on your talk page: {{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}}.  Bbb23 (talk) 22:45, 7 September 2022 (UTC)

This user's unblock request has been reviewed by an administrator, who declined the request. Other administrators may also review this block, but should not override the decision without good reason (see the blocking policy).

Request reason:

Why have I been blocked? I have always provided as many verifiable citations as I could and I also tried to provide missing information. I provided sources wherever I could, but occasionally I could not find sources. And sometimes when I could they were not considered "acceptable".

Decline reason:

You know why you've been blocked and don't address the reason in your unblock request. Yamla (talk) 10:45, 8 September 2022 (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.

I do not know why I have been blocked.

HotSauceFrenchFries (talk) 22:49, 7 September 2022 (UTC)

Read the block notice. You are blocked as a WP:SOCK of an already blocked user. Meters (talk) 22:51, 7 September 2022 (UTC)

No block should b e indefinite. In fact, blocks should not last longer than 3 years. HotSauceFrenchFries (talk) 01:05, 8 September 2022 (UTC)

Block length is proportional to the need to prevent disruption to Wikipedia. Socking is almost always an indef block since by socking the user is already evading a block. 331dot (talk) 09:21, 8 September 2022 (UTC)

In my personal opinion, no block (even sockpuppet) should exceed 10 years. HotSauceFrenchFries (talk) 22:15, 12 September 2022 (UTC)

(Non-administrator comment) It might be your opinion, but however, admins are "more willing to look the other way" on blocks. As stated up above, blocking is to prevent further disruption on Wikipedia. Also, I can see that you have made an unblock request down below, but given that this is a sock account, you must appeal the block on your original account (i.e User:The Train Master). Magnatyrannus (talk | contribs) 22:39, 12 September 2022 (UTC)

I can't. That talk page has been blocked. HotSauceFrenchFries (talk) 22:43, 12 September 2022 (UTC)

Well then if that doesn't work then you should probably submit a UTRS appeal to get your block reviewed. However, I suggest that you should follow the standard offer. Best, Magnatyrannus (talk | contribs) 22:50, 12 September 2022 (UTC)

Okay. HotSauceFrenchFries (talk) 19:48, 8 September 2022 (UTC)

Drafts

Why were my drafts deleted? Just because I was blocked does not mean that my drafts should have been deleted. I worked very hard on them and I expect them to be published. @Meters@Bbb23 HotSauceFrenchFries (talk) 00:59, 8 September 2022 (UTC)

Your drafts were deleted in accordance to WP:G5 deletion. Magnatyrannus (talk | contribs) 01:01, 8 September 2022 (UTC)

Bring them back. And bring back all the other edits I made. HotSauceFrenchFries (talk) 01:02, 8 September 2022 (UTC)

If you want your edits to stand, you must be successful with your unblock request. 331dot (talk) 09:21, 8 September 2022 (UTC)

Okay. Please re-review my edits. HotSauceFrenchFries (talk) 02:14, 12 September 2022 (UTC)

Train Stations

I worked very hard at creating those pages for the train stations along the old Bethlehem Line. I added citations to reliable sources on all those pages and I expect them to be brought back and eventually published. I expect to be unblocked within a month or so to recreate said pages. In addition, I also worked very hard a creating infoboxes for department store chains Lit Brothers and John Wanamaker's. I expect my reverted edits to be restored on those pages sooner or later. I added citations to reliable sources on all those pages and I expect them to be brought back and eventually published. Finally, I worked incredibly hard on the drafts for Legacy Toys and PicWicToys, again, I added citations to reliable sources on all those pages and I expect them to be brought back and eventually published. In conclusion, I didn't do all that hard work for nothing.

I am sorry

This user's unblock request has been reviewed by an administrator, who declined the request. Other administrators may also review this block, but should not override the decision without good reason (see the blocking policy).

Request reason:

I am sorry for abusing multiple accounts, I didn't mean to. I meant no harm. Prior to being blocked, I have made many notable contributions to Wikipedia, including the creation of multiple pages and resolving existing pages by improving them. I created the drafts for the railroad stations on the </nowiki>Bethlehem Branch because I thought they should each have their own page given their historical significance. I also thought that PicWicToys<nowiki> should have its own page considering the fact that it has one on French Wikipedia. Also, regarding the department store pages, I thought that they should each have their own infobox with the year that they were founded and the year that they dissolved, along with information about suburban branch stores. Also, regarding the train service pages, I felt as though that proposed restoration of service was worth mentioning on the pages, and I added citations to prove my point. Also, do talk pages really need citations? If they do, I can try my best to find sources to the best of my ability. Please give me another chance. HotSauceFrenchFries (talk) 02:31, 12 September 2022 (UTC)

Decline reason:

Procedural decline. You must request unblock from your original account. That account still has talk page access. 331dot (talk) 22:51, 12 September 2022 (UTC)

If you want to make any further unblock requests, please read the guide to appealing blocks first, then use the {{unblock}} template again.

(Non-administrator comment) The original account is globally locked. Magnatyrannus (talk | contribs) 22:53, 12 September 2022 (UTC)

Magnatyrannus It isn't according to what I see, where do you see that? If it is, then we can't lift the block locally until that is dealt with. 331dot (talk) 22:57, 12 September 2022 (UTC)

Please see Special:Contributions/The Train Master. Magnatyrannus (talk | contribs) 22:58, 12 September 2022 (UTC)

Hmm. Don't know why I didn't see that before, thanks. That means this user must first get that removed. 331dot (talk) 23:03, 12 September 2022 (UTC)

I've requested a global lock for HSFF.--Bbb23 (talk) 23:09, 12 September 2022 (UTC)

As well as a global unlock for TTM? Magnatyrannus (talk | contribs) 23:12, 12 September 2022 (UTC)

You seem to be laboring under the misconception that I'm interested in seeing this sock unblocked. They will have to appeal in the usual ways, which, although I've never studied the issue, are UTRS or ArbCom.--Bbb23 (talk) 23:24, 12 September 2022 (UTC)

I'm confused. HotSauceFrenchFries (talk) 23:25, 12 September 2022 (UTC)

That mean you are probably not going to be able to use this account anymore. Magnatyrannus (talk | contribs) 23:49, 12 September 2022 (UTC)

I'm not interested in seeing the sock unblocked, though if he wanted to reappeal his block on his original account then he could do it,. Magnatyrannus (talk | contribs) 23:28, 12 September 2022 (UTC)

For any admins watching: As far as I'm aware, I've never interacted with the user, or any of their socks, but I got sent an email that is encouraging me to edit another page. I'm not sure whether it warrants email revocation, but I just wanted to make you all aware. --Ferien (talk) 06:11, 13 September 2022 (UTC)

HSFF, consider this a warning; attempting to solicit others to edit for you while blocked is not permitted and you will lose email access should it continue. 331dot (talk) 06:41, 13 September 2022 (UTC)

331dot - I have also received an e-mail, asking me to create a page for "PicWicToys", which might be worth create-protecting ?. I suspect they are mass e-mailing editors, so their e-mail access should be revoked - Arjayay (talk) 09:09, 13 September 2022 (UTC)

I've blocked e-mail access.--Bbb23 (talk) 12:13, 13 September 2022 (UTC)
