Request reason:

Hello. I understand why I was indefinitely blocked and I accept responsibility for my behavior at the time. When I was editing previously, I did not fully understand Wikipedia's policies and reacted poorly when other editors tried to correct my edits. I now recognize that my actions were disruptive and I regret not listening to those concerns.

It has been several years since, and I have taken time to better understand Wikipedia’s guidelines on sourcing, collaboration, and consensus. If given another chance, I will focus on making constructive, well-sourced edits and working respectfully with other editors.

I would greatly appreciate the opportunity to contribute again and demonstrate that I can follow Wikipedia’s standards. Thank you for considering my appeal. Aboutnick (talk) 00:21, 14 March 2026 (UTC)

Decline reason:

This was AI generated (100% certain according to zeroGPT). You are blocked, not an AI, so we want to talk with you directly. An AI cannot tell us what is inside your mind or what you understand. Please write in your own words without the aid of an AI. Just talk to us as one human to another. 331dot (talk) 14:48, 14 March 2026 (UTC)

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.

Request reason:

Good day. Firstly, my apologies for the AI reply, I wanted to sound as grammatically correct as possible. I propose my appeal to be unblocked with the intent to express my growth as a writer and a contributor to Wikipedia. In the past, I did not adhere to Wikipedia's standards, but not with malicious intent but ignorance. I take full responsibility for the mistakes I made three years ago. I did not fully know the layout of Wikipedia and its guidelines for editing prior to performing edits. Admins attempted to correct the mistakes I made, which I took as pedantic and therefore continued to edit as I pleased, wiggling out of a ban by using different accounts (ban evasion), which I was blocked indefinitely. Since then, I have gotten to understand Wikipedia's rules and guidelines and now understand not only what I was doing wrong, but why other users tried to correct me. I hope my transparency and honesty will not worsen my case, but show that I truly have understood my previous wrongdoings, for which I humbly ask that I be given another chance at being a contributor and prove myself to be an asset and not a nuisance or vandal. If that means an unblock with guidelines, I understand fully. Aboutnick (talk) 19:12, 15 March 2026 (UTC)
