User talk:Swordfish121,641

How can you say that I'm not here to build an encyclopedia? The only actual content I've edited was on the Prentis Cobb Hale page. On one of those edits, I capitalized "LL.B." On the other edit, I pointed out that Mr. Hale was admitted to the California Bar in 1936 (and I added a cite to the California Bar website showing this.) Your blocking me makes no sense.

You filter log explains it all. --jpgordon^{𝄢𝄆𝄐𝄇} 04:56, 19 November 2024 (UTC)

You say my "filter log explains it all." How so? I read my filter log, and all it says was that I attempted to edit user talk pages. You've edited other users' talk pages too, @Jpgordon:. So by your own standards, you should be blocked too. This is hypocrisy. In all of those edits I attempted to make, I attempted to ask other users to support my request for adminship. In the first two of those edits I made, here https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk:Addshore&diff=prev&oldid=1258208645 and here https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk:0xDeadbeef&diff=prev&oldid=1258208651, my edits were published. But after I made the other edits, WP kept claiming my edits were "User talk page disruption." Is there some rule against asking other users to support my request for adminship? If there isn't a rule against this, you've blocked me improperly. If there is a rule against asking other users to support my request for adminship, I apologize and will not do this again. You should give me another chance, particularly since none of my content edits were deemed vandalism. Swordfish121,641 (talk) 12:59, 19 November 2024 (UTC)

As you see no problems here, there are no grounds for me to lift this block. Yamla (talk) 13:16, 19 November 2024 (UTC)

Can you please explain to me exactly what I did that violated any of WP's policies, and why it violated WP's policies. I did not intentionally do anything wrong, and if anything I did in soliciting support for my adminship request was somehow bad, I promise not to do it again if you unblock me.

I suggest you spend your time being blocked to read some Wikipedia pages about being an admin to understand that your first edit should not have been to apply for the admin role, and spamming users' talk pages was disruptive. PhilKnight (talk) 19:50, 19 November 2024 (UTC)

Ok ok ok @PhilKnight: I read WP's rules for admin qualifications. I also read the rules that say spamming talk pages was disruptive. I admit is, I've learned my lesson, I was wrong, and won't do it again. Your statement, "I suggest you spend your time being blocked to read some Wikipedia pages" sounds like that this was only a temporary block, and that you're willing to give me another chance. So will you unblock me now? And @Jake Wartenberg: in answer to your question, I used to edit pages under the username User:Kyleandrew1. I think my last edit was in 2009, so it's been a long time.

You have been indefinitely blocked. That means forever, unless you manage to successfully appeal, which could happen as early as today. But to be unblocked, you'll have to convince an administrator that you're here to build an encyclopedia, not to cause problems. Right now, you're not convincing anyone. I suggest reading WP:GAB and doing something else for a little while. Once you've had a break, come back and tell us what kinds of edits you want to make. -- asilvering (talk) 06:31, 20 November 2024 (UTC)

You said I'd be blocked forever unless I "manage to successfully appeal, which could happen as early as today." You said this on November 20. You also suggested that I read WP:GAB and then come back and tell you what kind of edits I want to make. I read WP:GAB and I think I'm ready to make another unblock request. I plan to make edits mainly about legal topics, as I have a law degree. Many of the edits I made as User:Kyleandrew1 were about legal topics. And as you can see, the edits I made under this address (other than my request for adminship) were about legal topics. So will you unblock me now?

I think we can take it as understood that there won't be any more attempts to spam talk pages to get support to be an admin, giving a second chance is the only way to actually be sure. El Beeblerino ^{if you're not into the whole brevity thing} 20:23, 17 December 2024 (UTC)
