Your submission at Articles for creation: NightShadePvP (March 12)

Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed! Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reason left by Boothsift was:

This submission's references do not show that the subject qualifies for a Wikipedia article—that is, they do not show significant coverage (not just passing mentions) about the subject in published, reliable, secondary sources that are independent of the subject. Before any resubmission, additional references meeting these criteria should be added (see technical help and learn about mistakes to avoid when addressing this issue). If no additional references exist, the subject is not suitable for Wikipedia.

The comment the reviewer left was:

More references are needed and it isn't in an encyclopedia format

Please check the submission for any additional comments left by the reviewer. You are encouraged to edit the submission to address the issues raised and resubmit when they have been resolved.

If you would like to continue working on the submission, go to Draft:NightShadePvP and click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window.
If you now believe the draft cannot meet Wikipedia's standards or do not wish to progress it further, you may request deletion. Please go to Draft:NightShadePvP, click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window, add "{{db-self}}" at the top of the draft text and click the blue "publish changes" button to save this edit.
If you need any assistance, you can ask for help at the Articles for creation help desk or on the reviewer's talk page.
You can also use Wikipedia's real-time chat help from experienced editors.

Welcome to Wikipedia. I noticed that your username, "EastDavidson", may not meet Wikipedia's username policy because it suggests its usage is by an unspecified official representative of the East Davidson High School, an article which you have edited. If you believe that your username does not violate our policy, please leave a note here explaining why. As an alternative, you may ask for a change of username by completing this form, or you may simply create a new account for editing. Thank you. MPS1992 (talk) 18:55, 12 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

You have been blocked indefinitely from editing for persistent vandalism.

If you think there are good reasons for being unblocked, please read the guide to appealing blocks, then add the following text below the block notice on your talk page: {{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}}. ~Oshwah~^{(talk) (contribs)} 12:33, 11 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

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).

EastDavidson (block log • active blocks • global blocks • contribs • deleted contribs • filter log • creation log • change block settings • unblock • checkuser (log))

Request reason:

I was not trying to vandalize, I was going to revert the changes directly after making them. My teacher wanted us to use wikipedia for an assignment, so I wanted to show him the dangers of that. EastDavidson (talk) 12:45, 11 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Decline reason:

You were clearly trying to vandalise. Harming Wikipedia to make a point is a violation of WP:POINT. Your block is appropriate. Yamla (talk) 12:48, 11 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

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.

What you did was absolutely not okay. I'll leave this unblock request for another admin to review, since this is the right thing to do in order to be fair to you and so you'll receive a review by a completely neutral third party; if the reviewing administrator supports unblocking you, they're welcome to do so and without my input, permission, or blessings in advance. ~Oshwah~^{(talk) (contribs)} 12:50, 11 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

This user's unblock request has been reviewed by an administrator, who accepted the request.

EastDavidson (block log • active blocks • global blocks • contribs • deleted contribs • filter log • creation log • change block settings • unblock • checkuser (log))

Request reason:

I was not thinking clearly about the "proving a point" thing. Upon reviewing the page you (Yamla) have linked to me, I know understand that what I did was wrong. Because of this, I don't want to appeal for an unblock, but perhaps a shortened period? I am/have been working on trying to get actual, informative articles up. I don't want to ruin that with one stupid mistake.; EastDavidson (talk) 12:56, 11 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Accept reason:

I'm going to go out on a limb here, and I'm going to take your word for it, and grant your unblock request. I'm probably going to receive some grief from other admins for doing this for you, but I hope that you appreciate that I'm giving you a second chance when users typically aren't. Please do not make disruptive edits like you did earlier, and please contribute positively to the project. I hope I don't regret this decision, and I hope you show me that I won't. :-) ~Oshwah~^{(talk) (contribs)} 12:59, 11 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Your account is now unblocked. If any shenanigans continue like what you were doing earlier, you'll be re-blocked without any kind of warning. I went out of a limb for you, man... I hope that you take advantage of the opportunity you've been given and that you become an experienced editor and member of the community. Stay outta trouble! :-) Cheers - ~Oshwah~^{(talk) (contribs)} 13:01, 11 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
