Request reason:

Hello! I was blocked without any explanation. The reason given was disruptive editing, but I'm not sure what it is I did that was disruptive. I was involved in a somewhat controversial discussion involving the Holocaust and the Holodomor, and what relation the latter has to the former, and I probably phrased something badly or said something unwise, or said something in a way that came off as an insult to another editor, in which case I get it, but I'd at least like to know what I did, and I can't seem to access my post log to see what the last thing I said was. If I said something that came off as calling someone a Holocaust denier then I apologize. My best guess is that it came from me trying to explain to another editor why the Holocaust was coming up in the discussion, which required explaining the rather controversial position held by the individual the article itself is about. That individual wrote a book alleging that much of the popular narrative of the Holodomor was initially spread by Ukrainian Nationalists who went on to become SS officers, and additionally alleged that the term "Holodomor" and some other aspects of the postwar narrative were, in part, a deliberate attempt by some to downplay the Holocaust by equating it with the Ukrainian famine. Essentially doing a "both sides" thing. Again, this is what the author alleged in the book that the article is about. It's not my personal position. Some of the editors in the talk page seemed to not know that this was what the book was about, and the article itself is entirely about criticism of the book, not what the book said, so I thought it necessary to explain. I suspect that I may have done a bad job, and come off as both personally advocating all of those ideas, and accusing other editors of being the bad guys from that narrative. If that's what happened here, I sincerely apologize. That's my bad. In such a sensitive discussion, I have a responsibility to be very clear in my language. Also, this IP is my local library (I happened to be here and thought it was a good opportunity to post this, I didn't come here specifically to evade the ban, I'd have just made an account for that). So please don't ban the library because of me. I'm sure others edit from this IP address. Hopefully this is formatted properly. I'm still learning how wikipedia works on a technical level. 73.33.168.206 (talk) 10:54, 22 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Request reason:

hi again, I'm sorry, I'm struggling to figure out all these rules. If I post this from an account it's okay, but not from a different IP? Am I understanding that correctly? I'm not really clear on why the one is ban evasion but not the other, and the WP:EVADE seems to imply that I'm just going to get this account banned as well. But the other thing says this is okay, so. Idk. RIP. To whoever reads this, if you bother, please see the above unblock request for my reason. I don't know why I was originally banned, and was not given an explanation, but I speculate about it above. I'd appreciate it if someone could give me some clarification, even if it comes alongside banning me. I'm deeply confused, disoriented, and discouraged, lol. This place is difficult for beginners.

EDIT: oh I see, I think it's because I also tried to explain myself below the post that I think got me banned. Sorry, in retrospect that's obviously ban evasion and I shouldn't have done that. I was impatient to try to clarify myself, since clearly I was seen as having insulted someone, and it deeply bothers me that I can't apologize and clarify yet, or possibly ever. I wasn't thinking, beyond "oh I'm at the library, this is a different IP address, I can post from here and try to fix things". I actually didn't know I was banned on my cell phones IP address until about 15 minutes before I made the above unblock request. I was happily going around posting, and then had to turn off my WiFI for a second and found out I couldn't post from my personal IP.

Decline reason:

You, the person, are blocked. Not the IP. Please stop. --jpgordon𝄢𝄆𝄐𝄇 14:51, 22 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

No. You violated WP:EVADE when you edited articles, despite being blocked. See for example, Special:Contributions/73.33.168.206. Blocks apply to the person, see WP:BLOCK. --Yamla (talk) 12:40, 22 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
