You have been blocked indefinitely from editing because it appears that you are not here to build an encyclopedia. In addition, your ability to edit your talk page has also been revoked.

If you think there are good reasons for being unblocked, please read the guide to appealing blocks, then submit a request to the Unblock Ticket Request System. Primefac (talk) 17:07, 4 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Follow up on IRC

and UTRS questions. Posts like this are unrelated to improving the encyclopedia, are more appropriate on social media, and are actually disturbing. These sorts of posts are at least part of why you were blocked as clearly not being here to build an encyclopedia. So it was not just the last post you mentioned, but several. All I can say about, this post is, "oh my God". Creepy, scary.

Moving away from that, as I hope you get the picture, this edit was content building, but you did not provide a source. "All content must be cited from reliable sources that are unconnected with the subject and have a reputation for fact checking."

I guess it's good you stopped edit warring here. When in a content dispute, stop reverting and discuss on article talk page.

I guess I should not criticize for asking questions at the reference desk, but you might want to spend more time making constructive edits. Almost half your edits were to Wikipedia space, one third to user space, and only 2.5% to article space. This conveys a sense that you are here to socialize instead of build the encyclopedia. You might want to address that.

Haven't time for more review, but I think this gives you some areas to work on.

Hope this helps. Please remember to wait at least two more months before seeking unblocking at UTRS. Best. --Deepfriedokra (talk) 11:58, 16 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Unblock

Please stop emailing me. You are not eligible for unblock consideration until August at the earliest. I have explained the problems that I saw. Based on what you've posted here about your behavior on other platforms causing problems, I think you should have known better than to go on as you did here. --Deepfriedokra (talk) 06:17, 18 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

More follow-up

To be unblocked, you will need to concisely and clearly describe how your edits merited a block, what you would do differently, and what constructive edits you would make. A menu of things that need doing can be found at Wikipedia:Community portal/Open tasks . Please read Wikipedia's Guide to appealing blocks for more information. --Deepfriedokra (talk) 17:35, 18 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Hi there. I wanted to respond to your email and will tack on to what Dfo has said. One of the great virtues of Wikipedia is that we're all volunteers, so if Wikipedia just isn't doing it for you anymore walking away is always an option - and that can include walking away because it doesn't feel worth it to get unblocked. So that's always an option. But it also doesn't seem to me that you are in the "never" category in terms of being unblocked so I don't think you need to abandon all hope in that regard, instead it's taking onboard the feedback offered to you.

7 emails (6 basically in a burst) is a lot of emails. Ultimately you want to get your thoughts together and use WP:UTRS to compose a new appeal. Barkeep49 (talk) 19:50, 24 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

3 emails in 11 minutes, including one accusing me of lying to you here, is too much. I have blocked you from emailing me further. If you start to email others your access to email will be revoked. As I said in my first message, I think there's a way for you to get unblocked here. That way is to read what makes a good appeal, think carefully, and send one email using WP:UTRS. Until that happens I wish you good luck. Barkeep49 (talk) 19:25, 27 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
