Request reason:

Please look at the mass reverts as a way to suppress info. This is beyond frustrating. My edits are constructive and well sourced as shown in my sandbox. I'd like a higher review if possibleFactsforsure44 (talk) 17:15, 15 February 2022 (UTC)

Decline reason:

Looks likely that what Casualdejekyll said is accurate. If that's not the case, please open a new unblock request and specifically note that. Yamla (talk) 17:24, 15 February 2022 (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.

You were partially blocked as an IP, created a new account, and re-engaged in the same exact actions that led to a partial block, which only shows a lack of learning on what you did wrong and a refusal to improve. (Non-administrator comment) casualdejekyll 17:19, 15 February 2022 (UTC)

I wrote a defense that got lost in cross edits. I did not create a username to evade the block. I created a username at the request of @willondon. I have read everything requested and this material was formatted exactly how the template on the talk page provided by one of the critical editors.Factsforsure44 (talk) 17:26, 15 February 2022 (UTC)

What I did was create content to Wikipedia's standards.^[1] Please judge the content, not the person. And please escalate however possible. That content^[2] deserves to be seen and edited like anything else on the siteFactsforsure44 (talk) 17:27, 15 February 2022 (UTC)

Re "I did not create a username to evade the block. I created a username at the request of @willondon", this much is true. I advised it here, and have recently outlined my thinking at admin Tol's talk page. That said, I don't believe the switch from IPs to registered account is an attempt to decieve or evade a block; but I do think activity under this account name can certainly be judged on its own merits. _signed, Willondon (talk) 18:28, 15 February 2022 (UTC)

Not sure this will go through. I appealed.Factsforsure44 (talk) 18:36, 15 February 2022 (UTC)

(note: composed during edit conflict, unaware of "also" section below)

I doubt it will. The fundamental judgement of an appeal is: if I lift this block? will there be more disruption of Wikipedia? That's it. And that often boils down to, has the editor shown signs that they understand now what the problem was? Unfortunately, I don't see it.

My advice to you: (1) pay attention to the advice that you are given here, (2) realise that nobody knows who you are here, and feedback is not a personal attack on you, it's about the edits, (3) back away, take a break from it, and reflect that you've taken a number of runs at it, and hit a brick wall at every turn, (4) and then consult a friend or advisor in "real life" who can maybe provide some insight on why everybody seems to be against you, and your edits aren't "sticking". _signed, Willondon (talk) 18:49, 15 February 2022 (UTC)

(And after reading the "Also" section, I hereby drop the mic.)

My appeal was based on the hard-knock school and how a handful of editors have been unduly hard on me (calling me incompetent; untrustworthy; etc) and how with the timing of this after the page views unexpectedly shot up to 2500 before the edit war I find it suspicious that this resistance isn't reputation-based on behalf of the school.

Someone even reached out to the teahouse where the nice editors are but they said this was an admin issue.

I was being threatened by @spinningceres from the start without any warning about what it was about. Then the threat was withdrawn, but it was still there. I've been told that I both have conflict of interest editing and school puffery. Most importantly the last entry was specifically formatted to the school template; yet, someone comments on it like I am not following it. This is editors suppressing info @willondon @spinningceres etc. Factsforsure44 (talk) 18:42, 15 February 2022 (UTC)

Also @willondon I wasn't rewriting the site. You brought it back to the stub and then I was adding in reliable info. No editor was constructive and there was a good deal of collusion -- as the record shows. There was no content on the site. I added a reference that was needed (Miss Burke's) and provided good content yet I am blocked indefinitely. This is too heavy handed as I've said before. No one else contributed. Please note that.Factsforsure44 (talk) 18:48, 15 February 2022 (UTC)

And Hamlin's site points to the school. I don't believe the prevailing winds against using links to the school since it could be based on protecting the reputation of the school rather than on verifiable info. I lost a sandbox as well. Biting the newbie. Factsforsure44 (talk) 18:49, 15 February 2022 (UTC)

pinging @Willondon @SpinningCeres since you didn't do it right casualdejekyll 19:11, 15 February 2022 (UTC)

A few final thoughts:

• I did not threaten you, I warned you not to continue disruptive editing, which has been being reverted since May.
• "Collusion" on Wikipedia is called consensus. Please stop accusing people of acting in bad faith.
• As stated before, Wikipedia does not and will not consider information only supported by a article subject's own website reliable. Every other sentence being sourced by a RS does not make inappropriately sourced content ok. Wikipedia's policies consciously and explicitly state that all facts about a person/place/thing do not automatically qualify for inclusion in articles.
• Some non-Wikimedia Foundation wikis(as in not wikipedia.org) may have less rules on reliable and primary sources. I encourage you to search for some like that focused on California or the bay-area, and improve Burke's article there.

SpinningCeres 19:57, 15 February 2022 (UTC)

@spinningceres I counted the sources today before revert and there were approximately ten from Burke's website and fifty from other reliable sources. I've read through everything people suggested. You did threaten me and I made it known I felt threatened. That's in the talk page. Please refrain from adding inaccurate info to my talk page.Factsforsure44 (talk) 20:15, 15 February 2022 (UTC)

Drop the stick and back slowly away from the horse carcass. casualdejekyll 20:18, 15 February 2022 (UTC)

The appeal to unblock did not work. I will not write more to the editor above after being advised to walk away. I do think that the amount of removals that are baby in the bathwater deserve a look and pulled up somehow no edits for the user above (although they did threaten on the talk as can be shown if anyone went into the nitty gritty.) @Willondon's edits did come up and were five percent and all removing large amount of copy that genuine good faith work had gone into.(talk) 20:58, 15 February 2022 (UTC)

This is what was on the talk page that I did interpret as a threat and made that known. "Please take a step back for a while and (re-)review Wikipedia policies including WP:TRUTH and WP:DUE and WP:AGF. Please also stop claiming that every removal you disagree with is censorship. Below you also suggest deliberately disrupting wikipedia to make a point by restoring what you again(without evidence) claim as destructive editting. You can consider this your final warning before a request for some type of admin intervention. I have an WP:ANI report/'request for more eyes on this' typed up on a word document that I decided not to post yesterday. SpinningCeres 18:39, 10 February 2022 (UTC)Striking final warning:Clarifying that I don't intend to report you the very next time you post here. Just please respect talk page guidelines and assume good faith.SpinningCeres 19:20, 10 February 2022 (UTC)"

Someone saying they don't want to report you is a threat now? Damn. casualdejekyll 22:58, 15 February 2022 (UTC)

They had it up first. I keep getting blocked. Plus I used Threat-y and mentioned interpreted. I feel I am being treated in an unwelcoming fashion especially since my status keeps changing. Before you wrote, it said I could not ever get another account. Really unfriendly inmhoFactsforsure44 (talk) 23:01, 15 February 2022 (UTC)Factsforsure44 (talk) 23:00, 15 February 2022 (UTC)

I'm going to yet again re-offer the advice I gave before. Drop the stick and back slowly away from the horse carcass. You're saying the same thing over and over again and it's clearly not getting you anywhere. casualdejekyll 23:02, 15 February 2022 (UTC)

Yeah, I did. I thought my access was gone for good until you reached out. This page possibly in another browser is down because of attacks. I am more careful than that and understand that I am unwelcome. Factsforsure44 (talk) 23:03, 15 February 2022 (UTC)

You're not unwelcome. Everyone is very welcome to Wikipedia. The issue is entirely with your edits, and you haven't quite realized that yet. casualdejekyll 23:04, 15 February 2022 (UTC)

If you attempt to edit by proxy again, I will revoke your access to this page. Blocked is blocked.--Bbb23 (talk) 17:04, 16 February 2022 (UTC)

OK, surely other people can add back in the same info though - right? It has been vetted and was live for some time. @Bbb23 @twsabin I also did read other school sites and formatted the info that was mass deleted exactly like the Wikipedia template for schools and read all the sites people suggested plus the Wiki guidelines for schools.Factsforsure44 (talk) 17:18, 16 February 2022 (UTC)

There are a lot a intricacies and (what some people view as) excessive caveats in Wikipedia policies, so I am near certain that others will not re-add the material exactly as you did. With that said, you've managed to do a lot of information aggregation, which is the biggest hurdle to adding good content to articles. Any editors who come across the page will be able to view the page history and determine for themselves what part of your edits should be added, but I don't expect that to happen immediately. Thanks, SpinningCeres 17:26, 16 February 2022 (UTC)

• I've revoked TPA. I'd also like to request other users not to edit on this page to discuss edits expressly or implicitly requested by Facts.--Bbb23 (talk) 19:10, 16 February 2022 (UTC)
