edit

  Please refrain from making unconstructive edits to Wikipedia, as you did at Black Swan (film). Your edits appear to constitute vandalism and have been reverted or removed. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. Administrators can block users from editing if they repeatedly vandalize. Thank you. Wgolf (talk) 18:13, 1 March 2014 (UTC)Reply


 
Your account has been blocked indefinitely because its username is a blatant violation of our username policy – it is obviously profane; threatens, attacks or impersonates another person; or suggests that your intention is not to contribute to the encyclopedia (see our blocking and username policies for more information).

We invite everyone to contribute constructively to our encyclopedia, but users are not allowed to edit with inappropriate usernames, nor is trolling or other disruptive behavior ever tolerated. If you think there are good reasons why you should be unblocked, you may appeal this block by adding the text {{unblock-un|new username|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}} on your user talk page, but you should read the guide to appealing blocks first.

@Daniel Case:, @Wgolf: - I mentioned this when it came up on my talk page but for what it's worth it doesn't appear as though this user has vandalized at all. An IP had vandalized Black Swan (film) across four separate edits, at least one of which removed some of his/her own nonsense. MAYBE IM NAKED, by reverting one edit at a time, appeared to then be adding it back (and indeed did, but got it right in the end as far as I saw). No comment about the username, though. --— Rhododendrites talk04:06, 2 March 2014 (UTC)Reply
I'll be open to an unblock request if it's properly phrased. Daniel Case (talk) 04:09, 2 March 2014 (UTC)Reply
@Daniel Case: - I don't understand. All I said was that this user, who was accused of vandalizing and blocked for being a vandalism-only account, never actually vandalized anything and in fact was undoing someone else's vandalism. Your response makes it sound like either (a) I'm the one who was blocked and requesting an unblock improperly, or (b) it doesn't matter -- that because of the username the user is not owed anything.
My concern is not whether or not this user will be able to be unblocked upon request. My concern is the block for something that didn't happen (at least the front and center vandalism aspect of it) and inaction when finding out this was this case, when this could very well have been a productive editor. --— Rhododendrites talk07:19, 2 March 2014 (UTC)Reply
Sorry, it was very late at night when I responded to your first message (as the timestamp should show, if you're in my time zone). Upon further review, the edits were indeed reversions, not vandalism (basically, you do have to look at all of them). But I think this username is a little over the top in any event. I have changed the block to one purely for the username. Daniel Case (talk) 14:40, 2 March 2014 (UTC)Reply
