Arbitration enforcement
editI have raised a discussion about your violations of your topic ban at Wikipedia:Arbitration/Requests/Enforcement#Nocturnalnow. Fram (talk) 15:10, 17 July 2020 (UTC)
Blocked
editI have indefinitely blocked your account for your continual failure to abide by your American politics topic ban and not being here to build an encyclopedia. The first year of your block is an Arbitration Enforcement block. The rest is a standard administrative block. Since January, you have only edited User talk:Jimbo Wales, mostly to talk about American politics, and your own talk page. We are an encyclopedia, not a debate club or social networking site.
If you believe this block is unjustified, please read the guide to appealing blocks (specifically this section) before appealing. Place the following on your talk page: {{unblock|reason=Please copy my appeal to the [[WP:AE|arbitration enforcement noticeboard]] or [[WP:AN|administrators' noticeboard]]. Your reason here OR place the reason below this template. ~~~~}}. If you intend to appeal on the arbitration enforcement noticeboard I suggest you use the arbitration enforcement appeals template on your talk page so it can be copied over easily.
In any appeal, I would like to know what articles you would like to contribute to and an acknowledgement that you will abide by your topic ban in the future. --Guerillero | Parlez Moi 16:15, 17 July 2020 (UTC)
arbitration enforcement appeals template
- Guerillero @Guerillero:} I am not able to edit on the administrators' noticeboard which is 1 of your suggested nexyt steps. I am alsonot able to edit on your talk page to fulfil the notificatuon requirement. Am I able to edit on the arbitration enforcement noticeboard as you suggest I can? Nocturnalnow (talk) 17:07, 18 July 2020 (UTC)
- Well this is unfortunate and I think I remember you sometimes editing the encyclopedia a while back. The above template is designed for use on this talk page. There seems to be formatting issues with the request below which you may want to fix, but the current justification is unlikely to convince another administrator to lift the block. If you would like an admin to forward an AE appeal, it is also possible after composing it on this page. More instructions are available at the already linked guide above, including the option to send an email to the committee. —PaleoNeonate – 08:17, 19 July 2020 (UTC)
- Adding: while I'm neither an administrator nor an ARBCOM member, contrary to what the current unblock justification claims, it seems to me that a topic ban was necessary considering these: 1, 2. The topic ban could eventually have been appealed, perhaps successfully, but apparently wasn't so was still active. Topic bans also apply to talk pages so technically the violation block is valid, other than the concerns about not being interested in building the encyclopedia, the main purpose of editing privileges... —PaleoNeonate – 08:43, 19 July 2020 (UTC)
- Will move over your appeal whenever you are finished with it. I will say that you should listen to some of the advice that PaleoNeonate posted above. "My topic ban is illegitimate " is rarely a successful strategy for appealing a block placed for the violation of a topic ban --Guerillero | Parlez Moi 17:54, 20 July 2020 (UTC)
- Yes, you're probably correct. I am cancelling my appeal right now. I will edit/remove the part of my talk page below this post; I hope that is an ok way to cancel my appeal.. Sorry for taking up your time. All the best wishes to all. Nocturnalnow (talk) 16:31, 21 July 2020 (UTC)
Action plan for YOU re: "There is no brainwashing in America" is the same as "there is no racism in America"
editAccept and ignore the brainwashing? or not?; as Americans, in 2020, with access to the internet, each of us as individuals get to make that choice. Anyone wanting to see the extent of how we Americans have been COMPLETELY brainwashed for many generations should begin by reading Antony C. Sutton's books. I can provide info covering the same brainwashing activities before Sutton's coverage, particularly re: the Civil War's engineering by William H. Russell and the brainwashing from the time of Sutton's death until now. However, this is not a question of "can you handle the truth", but rather, "do you really want to know the truth"??? It's like finding out your loving wife ( or husband) has been screwing every close friend or relatives you have....most people would prefer just to not ever find out. However, the truth really will set you free, because you'll never be brainwashable again. Nocturnalnow (talk) 17:32, 27 July 2020 (UTC)
