User talk:BlahVlah

Hi. Welcome to Wikipedia. We appreciate your enthusiasm but in my opinion you do not have sufficient experience to be voting on RfA. If you can't think o fanything to contribute to our articles, you may wish to help clean up vandalsn. It's an easy task for a native English speaker but frt for that you will need 200 mainspace edits before you can enrol at the school at WP:CVUA to leanr how to do it. Here is also something for you to read when you have enough experience to vote at RfA again: WP:Advice for RfA voters. If you have any questions about anything, don't hesitate to ask me on my talk page. Happy editing! --Kudpung กุดผึ้ง (talk) 16:50, 18 July 2015 (UTC)

Hi. I didn't cite any girl talking about Brown on instagram. I cited USA Today. This should be sufficient, but if not, feel free to find any number of other sources. This is a true statement about Brown. This is not something that he has ever denied. Please do not simply delete relevant and accurate information. If you feel it needs to be corrected, then, by all means, correct it and cite your sources. — Preceding unsigned comment added by WikiHogan654 (talk • contribs) 04:56, 21 November 2018 (UTC)

You are starting unnecessary edit wars by reverting edits and pushing your own agenda after consensus is formed

this edit https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=2025_Potomac_River_mid-air_collision&diff=prev&oldid=1274084624 is a direct violation of consensus formed after much discussion with you.

While minor refinement is okay - you are actively trying to disrupt wiki

I have seen your userbox, but I think this is important.

I have held WP:BRD highly ever since it was used in a WP:NPOV dispute over the Florida Parental Rights in Education Act article. Though it is optional, following the policies against edit warring and for consensus are mandatory (in most cases).

Though I agree with you in that PSA Airlines needs to be mentioned in the lead body sentence of the article for the 2025 Potomac River mid-air collision, we need to talk it out. We need to point to other articles where the name of the operator is placed above that of the major airline, such as in the article for Colgan Air Flight 3407.

This is gonna make me sound bad, but at this point I'm literally just doing it to fuck with him because he gave me such a hard ass time over mentioning Colgan lol BlahVlah (talk) 04:51, 6 February 2025 (UTC)

Please stop attacking other editors, as you did on Talk:2025 Potomac River mid-air collision. If you continue, you may be blocked from editing. Comment on content, not on other contributors or people. Liz ^{Read! Talk!} 05:50, 6 February 2025 (UTC)

Hello, BlahVlah,

One of the five pillars of Wikipedia is civility and calling people "fuckface" is not civil. If I see you do this again, I will block you. Of course, another admin might decide to block you for this one infraction. It would be smart for you to drop the profanity and participate in the ANI discussion. Liz ^{Read! Talk!} 05:52, 6 February 2025 (UTC)

You have been blocked for one week from editing for contravening Wikipedia's policy against harassment and personal attacks. Once the block has expired, you are welcome to make useful contributions.

If you believe that there are good reasons for being unblocked, please review Wikipedia's guide to appealing blocks, then add the following text to the bottom of your talk page: {{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}}.

This user's unblock request has been reviewed by an administrator, who declined the request. Other administrators may also review this block, but should not override the decision without good reason (see the blocking policy).

Request reason:

I'll take the block. However, I think you're overreacting a little when you call this "harassment." I called them fuckface, big deal. Despite what I said, none of my actions were specifically taken to mess with them; I gave valid justifications for all my edits and truly believed they were necessary. I have a background in aviation and I'm passionate about the topic, but this guy is arguably the most frustrating and annoying editor on this entire wiki. They clearly don't have a background in this, they have a very wrong definition of "consensus", and they can't even write proper English when editing. That being said, yes I was wrong, and I will do better in the future. I'd like to point out that after my initial warning, I haven't "attacked" them in any way (and I'm using "attack" very loosely because that's a very strong term relative to what I actually did), and I've been civil since then. Given all this info, take whatever action you see fit, and I will accept. BlahVlah (talk) 02:15, 7 February 2025 (UTC)

Decline reason:

I don't think that it's an overreaction at all. (note that the block is for "personal attacks or harassment", this is the former) Calling someone a fuckface is absolutely a personal attack. You don't know who you're communicating with- maybe a child? Someone in a non-English speaking country? Someone just not taking care with their talk page editing?(where we don't require perfect English) Please have a little more consideration. If you don't think the attack was a big deal, that's your prerogative, but you will need to show that you understand that the community thinks WP:CIVIL a big deal. You haven't done that, and as such I am declining your request. 331dot (talk) 09:43, 7 February 2025 (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.

• Comment Although I'm no administrator, admitting to your "enjoyment" in User:Astropulse's frustration and continuing to use expletives in this "unblock request" may only extend your block further. I understand that you have no intentions in harrassing that user and sure, that user has had a somewhat absurd and messy way of editing pages but they're technincally not contravening any policies on Wikipedia. Sorry to say this but WP:CIVILITY is taken very seriously on Wikipedia and as an editor, it's your obligation to have a collaborative editing environment.GalacticOrbits (talk) 04:25, 7 February 2025 (UTC)

@GalacticOrbits I understand, and I agree with everything you said. I'll admit right now that I'm a hotheaded 23-year-old, and I had a lapse in civility. I just wanted to clarify that I never had the intention of harassing anyone, that's something I take seriously. BlahVlah (talk) 06:14, 7 February 2025 (UTC)

Let me also say, you're one of the very few editors on that article that seems to properly understand how commercial aviation works in the U.S. BlahVlah (talk) 06:14, 7 February 2025 (UTC)

By the way, the guy on your talk page is completely wrong. ADS-B data here clearly shows the full flight number is JIA5342, which is PSA. BlahVlah (talk) 07:26, 7 February 2025 (UTC)

You might not consider it a attack, but Wikipedia:No personal attacks does. Nobody (talk) 09:14, 7 February 2025 (UTC)

That's fair. I'm not necessarily disagreeing with the block, but the point still stands I did not "attack" this editor or anyone else after my initial warning, and I had assumed that was the end of it. Of course it's an admin's prerogative to block me regardless, but I find it interesting it was done almost 14 hours after the warning and no further uncivil behavior from me. BlahVlah (talk) 09:36, 7 February 2025 (UTC)

I'd say this edit counts as uncivil behavior. Nobody (talk) 10:03, 7 February 2025 (UTC)

Alright... in my defense it was pretty funny BlahVlah (talk) 10:34, 7 February 2025 (UTC)

@331dot I appreciate your response. When I say the attack wasn't a big deal, what I mean is I used profane language to express (inappropriately) my frustration with this editor in the moment. I did not say it to disparage their character in any way. I do respect the value of civility on Wikipedia, and understood right after the initial warning that civility is a big deal. I understand being considerate; it just becomes more difficult to be so when an editor's methods are downright absurd. That being said, my reaction was still wrong and inappropriate, and I apologize. I was frustrated, made a mistake, and affirm that I will work through frustrations in a respectful way in the future. BlahVlah (talk) 10:26, 7 February 2025 (UTC)

I've placed this at the bottom; the Reply function is imperfect and doesn't work well in all situations(like with unblock requests); it's occasionally better to click "edit" instead.

You may make another request for someone else to review. 331dot (talk) 10:48, 7 February 2025 (UTC)
