Did you know ClueBot NG could stop 50% of all vandalism with a 1/500 false positive rate? Wow!

Request reason:

Comment on meta: In any case, I thank Another Wiki User for bringing up the backlog and will try to close also the remaining requests soon. --MF-W

@Moneytrees: @Awesome Aasim:

I wish to have my block be downgraded to a Project namespace block (duh) under these "parole restrictions"

1. Permanent one-account restriction

2. I am not allowed to create new sections on Wikipedia-namespace pages

3. IBAN with you (Awesome Aaism) and 1-way IBAN with Moneytrees except to discuss these parole restrictions

4. Moneytrees may add more at any time.

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 and confirm that you are willing and able to contribute positively to Wikipedia. You can do this by:

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]]),
    • and 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 {{reflist-talk}} at the end of the prose you have copied from the article;
  5. Place your cursor in the edit summary box and paste an edit summary in the following form that specifies 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."
  6. Save the page by clicking Publish changes.
  7. 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.
  8. When you are done with your work, save your edits, then re-request unblocking using {{unblock}}, and an administrator will review your proposed edits.

If we (including the original blocking admin) are convinced that your proposed edits will hopefully 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. * Pppery * it has begun... 01:18, 6 December 2024 (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.

I don't have the technical nor authoritative power to lift nor decline blocks as I am not an administrator, I just happened to be very involved in this particular case. But I do want to share my feedback on some of these for whoever the unblocking administrator will be to consider as WP:UC, as one who has been involved with this.
  1. "Permanent one-account restriction": This is a good idea. However we don't say "permanent" here on Wikipedia, just "indefinite". See WP:INDEF. Wikipedia is not a game, and at this time there aren't any legitimate reasons to create additional accounts. In fact, there are very, very few contrived cases described on WP:Sock puppetry where multiple accounts are appropriate.
  2. "I am not allowed to create new sections on Wikipedia-namespace pages": I would broaden this to "no edits not directly related to improving the encyclopedia, period". You may not know this, but I have gone down the same rabbit hole as you have almost seven years ago. See User_talk:Awesome_Aasim/Archive_2 User_talk:Awesome_Aasim/Archive_3 User_talk:Awesome_Aasim/Archive_4. If I can in a matter of two to three years reform my behavior and get back to productive edits, so can you. There will be legitimate times you may need to edit Wikipedia space, such as engaging in necessary dispute resolution on WP:ANB.
  3. "IBAN with you (Awesome Aasim) and 1-way IBAN with Moneytrees except to discuss these parole restrictions": I don't think this is necessary. An interaction ban IMHO is a solution looking for a problem.
More formally, I wonder if the following restriction might be appropriate to log on WP:ER/UC:
I only think only one of AWU's accounts should be unblocked at this time as well, if an admin chooses to unblock.
Note even if AWU agrees to this, a blocking administrator will need to also agree to implement these conditions, or, barring that, a discussion on ANB to impose these sanctions.

I agree. Another Wiki User the 3rd (talk) 20:42, 5 December 2024 (UTC)
Also, start an RfA, maybe. Another Wiki User the 3rd (talk) 20:51, 5 December 2024 (UTC)
