Policy changes

If you make a bold edit to a policy and are reverted, the next step is definitely to discuss it on the talkpage, not continue making edits on the policy. Discussion is even more important here than on an article. --SarekOfVulcan (talk) 15:42, 9 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Hi @SarekOfVulcan:. If interested, please check out the NPOV talk page discussion. One passer by (talk) 15:59, 9 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Using your main account

By longstanding Wikipedia custom (and written precedent), it's not kosher to use an alternate account to participate in project-space discussions. Please use your main account if you wish to continue to contribute at WT:NPOV, assuming it is not blocked or otherwise subject to relevant sanctions. MastCell ^Talk 19:07, 13 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

This userID is my main userId. Please refer to Wikipedia:Cleanstart, and Wikipedia:Good faith. I will continue to assume good faith regarding yourself. One passer by (talk) 09:09, 16 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Disambiguation link notification for September 24

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Clonal colony, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Fig (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. (Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.)

It's OK to remove this message. Also, to stop receiving these messages, follow these opt-out instructions. Thanks, DPL bot (talk) 09:26, 24 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

ArbCom 2018 election voter message

Hello, One passer by. Voting in the 2018 Arbitration Committee elections is now open until 23.59 on Sunday, 3 December. All users who registered an account before Sunday, 28 October 2018, made at least 150 mainspace edits before Thursday, 1 November 2018 and are not currently blocked are eligible to vote. Users with alternate accounts may only vote once.

The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to impose binding solutions to disputes between editors, primarily for serious conduct disputes the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the authority to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail.

If you wish to participate in the 2018 election, please review the candidates and submit your choices on the voting page. MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 18:42, 19 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Nomination of Rahaf Mohammed al-Qunun for deletion

A discussion is taking place as to whether the article Rahaf Mohammed al-Qunun is suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia according to Wikipedia's policies and guidelines or whether it should be deleted.

The article will be discussed at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Rahaf Mohammed al-Qunun until a consensus is reached, and anyone, including you, is welcome to contribute to the discussion. The nomination will explain the policies and guidelines which are of concern. The discussion focuses on high-quality evidence and our policies and guidelines.

Users may edit the article during the discussion, including to improve the article to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the article-for-deletion notice from the top of the article. Sandstein 11:42, 7 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

March 2019

Wikipedia's technical logs indicate that this user account has been or may be used abusively. It has been blocked indefinitely from editing to prevent abuse.

Note that multiple accounts are allowed, but not for illegitimate reasons, and any contributions made while evading blocks or bans may be reverted or deleted.
If you think there are good reasons why you should be unblocked, you should review the guide to appealing blocks, and then appeal your block by adding the following text below this notice: {{unblock|Your reason here ~~~~}}. Note that anything you post in your unblock request will be public, so you may alternatively use the Unblock Ticket Request System to submit an appeal if it contains information that must be private.

Administrators: Checkusers have access to confidential system logs not accessible by the public or by administrators due to the Wikimedia Foundation's privacy policy. You must not loosen or remove this block, or issue an IP block exemption, without consulting with a checkuser or the Arbitration Committee. Administrators who undo checkuser blocks without permission from a checkuser or the Arbitration Committee may be summarily desysopped.

Since my block in 2017, I have not been accused of disrupting or abusing any editors or editing processes going on here, and have done nothing but to contribute to WP with this user ID or any other user ID. Since that date, for a total of over 6 months I have not edited at WP with this ID, or any other ID, all though I have admittedly used this ID during a few months here or there to edit over that time, making this six months of non-editing a "discontinuous" period. It was my understanding that after an indefinite block, after 6 months of not editing, so long as the original cause for the block appears to be unlikely to recur, that generally such blocks are lifted, but apparently I misinterpreted this. I apologize for my presumptuousness in this.

Since no other apparent rationale has been provided to me for denying this unblock request, other than the fact that I have apparently not stayed away from WP for a continuous 6 months since the block, I will assume that this "non-continuous thing" must be your rationale for refusing this unblock request. Therefor, for the next 6 months continuously, I will continue not to make any further edits to WP, with this ID or any other ID, (as I have not edited at all here since January 2019.) At sometime after another 6 months of my continuous refrain from making any edits at all have passed, in the last half of September 2019, I am now planning on returning here to submit another unblock request as suggested above. If you might find any of the above information I have provided here to be innacurate, please let me know. Otherwise, unless you might advise me against this, that is my current plan.

As I stated in my unblock request:

"I consider it a great privilege, honor, and responsibility to be able to contribute to the “noble” WP project in a constructive manner, and this is a responsibility that I hope I will again be permitted to bear out in a more helpful manner in the future.

Thank you kindly for reviewing this unblock request."

Well, considering you created this account one day after your main account was blocked, and about an hour after posting this, I'm having a hard time believing that you didn't know that you were evading a block, but yes, wait six months and then submit a UTRS request under the main account (Scottperry). That is not a guarantee you will be unblocked at that time, that is the earliest it will be considered. TonyBallioni (talk) 04:53, 11 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you, One passer by (talk) 05:06, 11 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Replying to your email here: no, you are not currently banned, but you have been evading your block under this account since it was originally blocked in 2017. We do not automatically grant unblocks after 6 months without editing, but we begin considering it at that time. If you edit under a new account or logged out as an IP address, it resets the timer, even if only once. TonyBallioni (talk) 05:08, 11 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
