Welcome

Hello LordofAll983 and welcome to Wikipedia! We appreciate encyclopedic contributions, but some of your contributions do not conform to our policies. For more information on this, see Wikipedia's policies on vandalism and limits on acceptable additions. If you'd like to experiment with the wiki's syntax, please do so in the sandbox (but beware that the contents of the sandbox are deleted frequently) rather than in articles.

If you still have questions, there is a Help desk, or you can to ask for help on your talk page, and a volunteer should respond shortly. You may also find the following pages useful for a general introduction to Wikipedia.

• The five pillars of Wikipedia
• Contributing to Wikipedia
• Help pages
• Tutorial

I hope you enjoy editing and being a Wikipedian! Please sign your name on talk pages using four tildes (~~~~); this will automatically produce your name and the date. Feel free to write a note on the bottom of my talk page if you want to get in touch with me. Again, welcome! VViking_TalkEdits 14:44, 3 November 2020 (UTC)

Please stop your disruptive editing. If you continue to vandalize Wikipedia, you may be blocked from editing. --VViking_TalkEdits 14:46, 3 November 2020 (UTC)

You may be blocked from editing without further warning the next time you vandalize Wikipedia, as you did with this edit to Super Mario. Materialscientist (talk) 14:50, 3 November 2020 (UTC)

You have been blocked indefinitely from editing because your account is being used only for vandalism.

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 ~~~~}}.  Goodnightmush^Talk 15:07, 3 November 2020 (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:

I just joined the site today, I don't know what I'm doing. I should have read the material that was posted on my talk page instead of continuing to vandalize an article. I'd like to be given a chance before a year block is put in place. This is not fair for a new user to wikipedia, I want to learn how to use it properly. I understand I can't mess with articles, I need some help on how to make constructive edits before doing so. I should have looked at this before editing. I'm sorry for the inconvenience.

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) 15:26, 3 November 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.

Do you need to be told to not vandalize an article in order to know that you shouldn't? In any event, what constructive contributions do you wish to make? 331dot (talk) 15:17, 3 November 2020 (UTC)

No, I guess not. I'm not sure what I'd edit right now, maybe some of the game articles, but not until I understand how to write for Wikipedia and what format, etc. LordofAll983 (talk) 15:23, 3 November 2020 (UTC)

I have provided you with a process above through which you can take the time to learn more about Wikipedia and then demonstrate a substantive edit you would make(more than fixing spelling or grammar) to an article of your choosing. You are free to decline to make use of it and attempt to convince another administrator to unblock you without doing so, if you wish, but demonstrating something you would do will help. There is no deadline for you to do this, take all the time you need. 331dot (talk) 15:26, 3 November 2020 (UTC)

I don't understand how I'm expected to edit an article when in fact, I am needing to learn how to edit properly on Wikipedia.LordofAll983 (talk) 15:35, 3 November 2020 (UTC)

You have the chance to review some of the guidelines and policies now, you don't need to be unblocked to do that. You had your chance to experiment with using Wikipedia and got blocked as a result. In order to unblock you, an administrator must be assured that doing so will benefit the encyclopedia. You can provide that assurance by doing as requested above. As I said, if you think you can convince another administrator to unblock you without following the process above, you may make another unblock request. 331dot (talk) 15:45, 3 November 2020 (UTC)
