{{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}}. Thank you for using the Unblock Ticket Request System. I'm sorry, but I cannot unblock you at this time. This requires greater discussion than is possible via UTRS. Please concisely and clearly describe how your editing merited a block, what you would do differently, and what constructive edits you would make. Please read Wikipedia's Guide to appealing blocks for more information. (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Guide_to_appealing_blocks) As you still have access to your talk page, please post your unblock request to your user talk page, omitting any off-Wiki personally identifying information. If you have not already done so, please place the following at the bottom of your talk page, filling in "Your reason here "

Request reason:
My editing was very foolish, as I essentially deleted entire articles and replaced two articles (Scatman John and Rick Astley I believe) with song lyrics (Scatman and Never Gonna Give You Up respectively). If I were to be unblocked, I feel that I would practice better editing skills in my sandbox (thank you for clearing up my understanding of what the sandbox is) rather than on a public page everyone can visit and read from hoping to gain information. I would likely also add some tweaks to some pages here and there, particularly surrounding historical figures and events as these are things that interest me and pages I have noticed some mistakes and errors. Again, I apologize for my previous destructive behavior and if unblocked I will ensure it never happens again. NordVPN Man (talk) 15:07, 26 November 2023 (UTC)
Accept reason:
I will remove the block for a new chance. Good luck. 331dot (talk) 11:28, 28 November 2023 (UTC)
Sandboxes are not private, and are not a place to do whatever you want. Can you describe a specific edit you might make to an article? 331dot (talk) 15:15, 26 November 2023 (UTC)
- Apologies, it took me a second to figure out how to reply to your message and it took me a little while longer to find a mistake I had noted in an article (it would likely have been in my best interests to make a note of it). Anyway, one edit I would like to make to an article is that of the Second Coming. One of the categories, Islam, has the absence of the Shi'a view, which I think would clear up some confusion for people like me (I had not even known there was a difference in the view of Mahdi between Sunni and Shi'a until I did some research, particularly a lecture by Islamic scholar Yasir Qadhi). Thank you for correcting me! I read somewhere the sandbox was to be used for whatever you wanted. NordVPN Man (talk) 15:22, 26 November 2023 (UTC)
