August 2020 – your signature

Hi, as mentioned at Talk:Murder of Grace Millane, it appears you've attempted to set up a customized signature which is not displaying your username correctly on Talk pages. You probably need to correct that coding so your username does display correctly, or else just use the standard method of signing with four tildes (~~~~). Thanks, Muzilon (talk) 23:13, 8 August 2020 (UTC)

Your signature is still not valid. From WP:CUSTOMSIG/P: A customised signature should make it easy to identify your username. Your current signature just has the word "Thanks". power~enwiki (π, ν) 22:11, 9 September 2020 (UTC)

Better?Blade (talk) 03:53, 10 September 2020 (UTC)

Probably not, as it seems the username "Blade" has already been taken on Wikipedia. To avoid any appearance of impersonation (intentional or not), your signature should say "LoganBlade". Thanks, Muzilon (talk) 07:04, 10 September 2020 (UTC)

Third times the charm. LoganBlade (talk) 10:23, 25 September 2020 (UTC)

3 revert rule

I have blocked you for two weeks for violation of the 3-revert rule, noting that this is not the first time you have been blocked for this.-gadfium 09:45, 10 September 2020 (UTC)

Indefinite block

I have extended your block indefinitely. I have also revoked your talk page access, as you are blatantly and breathtakingly abusive. This leaves you with WP:UTRS. --Yamla (talk) 10:02, 10 September 2020 (UTC)

Your ability to edit this talk page has been revoked as an administrator has identified your talk page edits as inappropriate and/or disruptive.

(block log • active blocks • global blocks • autoblocks • contribs • deleted contribs • abuse filter log • creation log • change block settings • unblock • checkuser (log))

---

If you think there are good reasons why you should be unblocked, you should read the guide to appealing blocks, then contact administrators by submitting a request to the Unblock Ticket Request System. If the block is a CheckUser or Oversight block, was made by the Arbitration Committee or to enforce an arbitration decision (arbitration enforcement), or is unsuitable for public discussion, you should appeal to the Arbitration Committee.
Please note that there could be appeals to the unblock ticket request system that have been declined leading to the post of this notice.

September 2020 - ANI noticeboard

There is currently a discussion at Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents regarding an issue with which you may have been involved. Thank you. Muzilon (talk) 10:07, 10 September 2020 (UTC)

UNblock discussion and UTRS

Per UTRS appeal #34747, and after discussing with connected admins, restored TPA so user may request unblocking at WP:AN. --Deepfriedokra (talk) 20:40, 24 September 2020 (UTC)

@Deepfriedokra:Hey, when I try to request unblocking there I get the currently unable to edit message. "restore TPA after discussing with admins so user may request unblock at AN, UTRS appeal #34747 Clearly not here to build an encyclopedia" Blade (talk) 22:16, 24 September 2020 (UTC)

Post it here, and someone will carry it over, You only have talk page access. --Deepfriedokra (talk) 22:19, 24 September 2020 (UTC)

@Deepfriedokra:

Can you put this on the admin noticeboard

Almost forgot the signature issue. You will need to change that to reflect your actual username, as was mentioned before. --Deepfriedokra (talk) 02:07, 25 September 2020 (UTC)

Please reset your signature to show your actual user name. --Deepfriedokra (talk) 02:27, 25 September 2020 (UTC)

Requesting an unblock

I was banned for 2 weeks because I didn't know an AFD request freezed the redirect so another edited decided to edit war instead of informing me that AFD meant the redirect was frozen. So when I got banned for 2 weeks I thought I would be in compliance with the NSFW policy when I filled up my page with NSFW pictures. As far as I was aware I had carpe blanch on my talk page. I was blocked under WP:NOTHERE. I think I am here to build an encyclopedia. You can see my track record by having a glance around my contributions history and I ask you to do this before declining the unblock request. If I was just here to troll I would have probably left a long time ago. I am indeed here to build an encyclopedia. I understand and acknowledge it was totally unacceptable. With my limited knowledge of the NSFW policy, I believed it to be allowed. The context was a ban which I thought was unfair and could have been solved by telling me that someone starting an AFD discussion meant that the redirect got frozen. The root cause was to insult the administrator I thought was incompetent and assumed I was familiar with the many rules and regulations of Wikipedia. Moving forward I will 1.) Read up on the rules. 2). Not look for loopholes to insult my fellow users. 3). Not edit war and start a dialogue before it escalates. I understand the zero-tolerance policy now. I did not before. My only encounter with NSFW rules on Wikipedia before that was that they were allowed. I had never had an encounter with the rules around using inappropriate imagery as an attack so I just assumed with my knowledge of that combined with what I knew about what I can do to my user page and took it to mean there were no rules around it. I should have used my common sense but I was frustrated with that administrator. And hey. You can always reblock me again. Thanks for taking the time to read this and help me get back to editing. Blade (talk) 01:31, 25 September 2020 (UTC)

You need to cut the first part of this. It really makes you look not unblockable. You are casting blame onto others, You need a simple sentence or two describing what you did wrong. You need to have already read the rules. You spend too much time excusing your behavior. You need a sentence or two describing what you will do instead of edit warring, making personal attacks, and using porn to express your displeasure. Please revise the above. --Deepfriedokra (talk) 02:25, 25 September 2020 (UTC)

Requesting an unblock

I got into an edit war over a redirect page being frozen over a misunderstanding which lead to me being banned for 2 weeks. I then used NSFW images from commons to insult the administrator which lead to me being banned under WP:NOTHERE. Instead of edit warring, if a situation like this happened again I would initiate a discussion on the talk page to allow the other user to tell me that someone creating an AFD means the redirect gets frozen. I would not insult my fellow users again. Blade (talk) 05:53, 25 September 2020 (UTC)

Is this better? Blade (talk) 05:53, 25 September 2020 (UTC) @Deepfriedokra:

Yes. Now, if you could just fix your signature to say LoganBlade. --Deepfriedokra (talk) 07:01, 25 September 2020 (UTC)

FWIW-- unsolicited, free advice

Looking to the future, you should consider the WP:Standard offer. The gist of it is

Make no edits to the English Wikipedia, not with this account, not with a different account, and not without logging in, for at least six months. None at all.

Edit constructively and civilly on other Wikimedia projects and other Wikipedias for that six months or more.

Though you will likely keep talk page access, do not post to your talk page until you are ready to request unblocking after at least six months. Do not raise any further issues with your behavior or competence.

Each time you edit in the interim, it will reset the six months.

I do not think you appreciate the gravity of those porn images and personal attacks. I did not know this had been an issue in June. You need to make a sincere and heartfelt apology to everyone subjected to those images. FWIW, they alone merit an indefinite block and even a WP:CBAN. "Not suitable for work" or whatever the catch-phrase is, is a grossly euphemistic and inadequate description. FWIW, Wikipedia is our workplace. No one should need to tell you such images are inappropriate. Though I surmise you were told. before. Thanks, --Deepfriedokra (talk) 15:32, 25 September 2020 (UTC)

Orphaned non-free image File:Andrew Chalmers.jpg

⚠

Thanks for uploading File:Andrew Chalmers.jpg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described in section F5 of the criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. --B-bot (talk) 02:26, 12 October 2020 (UTC)

Replaceable fair use File:Andrew Chalmers.jpg

Thanks for uploading File:Andrew Chalmers.jpg. I noticed that this file is being used under a claim of fair use. However, I think that the way it is being used fails the first non-free content criterion. This criterion states that files used under claims of fair use may have no free equivalent; in other words, if the file could be adequately covered by a freely-licensed file or by text alone, then it may not be used on Wikipedia. If you believe this file is not replaceable, please:

1. Go to the file description page and add the text {{Di-replaceable fair use disputed|<your reason>}} below the original replaceable fair use template, replacing <your reason> with a short explanation of why the file is not replaceable.
2. On the file discussion page, write a full explanation of why you believe the file is not replaceable.

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace this non-free media item by finding freely licensed media of the same subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or similar) media under a free license, or by creating new media yourself (for example, by taking your own photograph of the subject).

If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified how these media fully satisfy our non-free content criteria. You can find a list of description pages you have edited by clicking on this link. Note that even if you follow steps 1 and 2 above, non-free media which could be replaced by freely licensed alternatives will be deleted 2 days after this notification (7 days if uploaded before 13 July 2006), per the non-free content policy. If you have any questions, please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. -- Marchjuly (talk) 04:21, 12 October 2020 (UTC)
