Your recent edits to Talk:Stefan Molyneux could give Wikipedia contributors the impression that you may consider legal or other "off-wiki" action against them, or against Wikipedia itself. Please note that making such threats on Wikipedia is strictly prohibited under Wikipedia's policies on legal threats and civility. Users who make such threats may be blocked. If you have a dispute with the content of any page on Wikipedia, please follow the proper channels for dispute resolution. Please be sure to comment on content, not contributors, and where possible make specific suggestions for changes supported by reliable independent sources and focusing especially on verifiable errors of fact. Thank you. Theroadislong (talk) 11:43, 15 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

You have been blocked indefinitely from editing for making legal threats or taking legal action.

You are not allowed to edit Wikipedia while the threats stand or the legal action is unresolved.

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 ~~~~}}. Doug Weller talk 13:36, 15 July 2020 (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).

Request reason:

I did not make a legal threat. I only suggested that making libellous claims may lead to legal action being taken by the person that is the target of the libel or slander. Since I am not Stefan, what legal action would I be taking anyway?

Decline reason:

You clearly violated WP:NLT. Come on, now. Yamla (talk) 19:14, 15 July 2020 (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.

I did not make a threat at all. Merely pointing out that someone may be putting themselves at risk is not a violation. But I suppose everyone here wishes to pretend the risk is not there at all. So be it.

[[1]] sure reads like a threat, as per wp:legal " For example, if you repeatedly assert that another editor's comments are "defamatory" or "libelous", that editor might interpret this as a threat to sue, even if that is not your intention.". Now I told you this at 07:35, 15 July 2020, and you failed to address it, or remove it. Also, no there is no risk, as before suing us they have to sue the sources we use, and when they do (and if they win) we will take it down (per wp:libel).Slatersteven (talk) 10:06, 16 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
