Adopted!

I have accepted your adoption request. Your classroom for adoption has been set up at User:Brambleberry of RiverClan/Adoption/Cmach7. I suggest that you add it to your watchlist so that you know when I have responded to one of your queries. öBrambleberry_{_ meow _ watch me in action} 15:46, 1 January 2013 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification for January 3

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited 1924 in film, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page White Man (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Re. Ocaasi's RfA

Hey, how's it going? =)

I just wanted to stop by and say that I'm sorry if my comments over at Ocaasi's RfA made you feel awkward or did anything to humiliate you. I just figured that, since you're new to the bureaucratic side of Wikipedia, it might help for me to give you some tips on how to participate in an RfA. I never meant for anything to snowball like they have.

I hope this doesn't deter you from making any further positive contributions to Wikipedia. You've done a lot of good work so far, and I hope I continue to see you around the place.

Take care. Kurtis ^(talk) 10:11, 4 January 2013 (UTC)

Hi. I came here to leave a message about the same thing. With only just over 500 edits, I am reasonably sure that your experience does not extend yet to participating objectively in such bureaucratic places as RfA. Most of us start our Wiki careers by building content rather than looking at the adminy stuff behind the scenes. That said, if you are really interested in what our RfA candidates have to go through, you will almost certainly find this essay very interesting: WP:Advice for RfA candidates. Good luck, and if you ever need help with anything or some suggestions where you can work on improving article quality, don't hesitate to ask me on my talk page. Kudpung กุดผึ้ง (talk) 20:50, 4 January 2013 (UTC)

Also. Actually, what you said wasn't inappropriate. It's OK to give a general feeling that someone's demonstrated qualities are not convincing. You should not have been questioned about that. It's OK to question a general agreement if you don't understand the reason for it. I've been a in a very small minority or even a minority of one from time to time, & I will be again whenever I think it worthwhile. Of course, when it is something that doesn't matter it does put oneself in a rather exposed position. Never feel you have to agree with the dominant position.

Activity warning

While in the past I was usually on every day for a few hours, my schedule has been ramped up. I probably won't be able to get on Mondays at all with few exceptions, and when I do get on I will probably be on for a shorter period of time.

While I will do my best to ensure that I get all your queries answered as soon as possible, I can make no guarantees of when "as soon as possible" will be anymore. By late May my schedule should be winding down again, and I will go back to my usual period of activity.

I apologize for any inconvenience. öBrambleberry of RiverClan 14:17, 26 January 2013 (UTC)

RfA: thank you for your support

Thank you for your support during my recent RfA, Cmach7. Your late-breaking support, even in the midst of a lot of sound and fury at the end, was heartening. Warm regards, Dirtlawyer1 (talk) 14:49, 13 February 2013 (UTC)

You're welcome. Cmach7 19:24, 19 February 2013 (UTC)

I've been waiting for you at adoption! öBrambleberry of RiverClan 22:35, 19 February 2013 (UTC)

RfB's

Cmach7, I've reverted your addition of the RfB's. The candidates have to accept first. --Floquenbeam (talk) 02:13, 21 February 2013 (UTC)

Oh yeah, sorry. Cmach7 02:15, 21 February 2013 (UTC)

You might want to find more useful things to do than all the RFA/RFB related things you've been into lately. Didn't this area get you into trouble a while ago? Seems like a good subject to discuss with your adopter. --Floquenbeam (talk) 02:17, 21 February 2013 (UTC)

More: I've deleted all 4 nominations. I'm sorry, but they demonstrate such a low level of understanding how things work around here that I need to ask you not to nominate anyone else for adminship or bureaucratship for a long while (as in, a year or two). You don't have a good understanding of the process. --Floquenbeam (talk) 02:24, 21 February 2013 (UTC)

Are these nominations a joke? --(ʞɿɐʇ) ɐuɐʞsǝp 02:19, 21 February 2013 (UTC)

I salted my "nomination" as the timing is poor, and even if I never lost my administrative tools, I don't have the technical ability to become one, never been interested. Secret ^account 02:59, 21 February 2013 (UTC)

RfB

Thanks for your consideration, but I must decline your RfB nomination. As noted by Floquenbeam (t c) above, your nominations unfortunately reflect a lack of complete understanding of the process, and as I told you by email when you asked last month, I don't feel I would be ready for such a position anyway. —Darkwind (talk) 02:36, 21 February 2013 (UTC)

Your involvement with RFA, RFB, and rights requests

It came to my attention that you inappropriately nominated four users for RFB today. Because of this, it is clear that you have very little understanding of user rights, and are one of the users that we have on all WMF wikis who goes around requesting userrights that they do not understand. Your actions, such as those that you have done today, have been disruptive, and show little respect for the users that you have nominated, and for the community. Editors have tried to counsel you and help you in this area, to no good. Wikipedia is not a game to try and get as many rights as you possibly can; we are here to build an encyclopedia.

Therefore, I am giving you a final warning, as you have already been blocked for something similar. Except for voting, please stay as far away from RFA, RFB, RFPERM, and any other related process as possible. Specifically, do not nominate yourself for any userrights, do not run for admin or bureaucrat, and do not nominate any others for any userrights, including but not limited to admin or bureaucrat. If you do any of these things, we will have no choice but to block you indefinitely in order to prevent disruption to this site. You are welcome to continue editing articles, but you cannot continue disrupting our already broken RFA process like you have been doing for the last few months. --Rschen7754 05:34, 21 February 2013 (UTC)

I was going to suggest a potential topic ban, but seeing as Cmach7 edits almost exclusively in RFA/RFB, I am inclined to agree with the indefinite block if this behaviour continues. GiantSnowman 10:52, 21 February 2013 (UTC)

In a sense, the above is essentially the same as a topic ban without the stress of ANI, in that if the user continues the behavior they will eventually wind up indefinitely blocked. I considered another indefinite, but was talked out of it by some other admins. --Rschen7754 11:01, 21 February 2013 (UTC)

I've asked Brambleberry of RiverClan (talk · contribs), who has adopted this user, to have a word, see if that helps. GiantSnowman 11:05, 21 February 2013 (UTC)

Your behavior

I have been politely asked to talk to you about your behavior at RfA and RfB. I know that you're a well-meaning user, but what you have been doing is becoming very disruptive and you might be blocked indefinitely. User rights are a big deal and should be given only when they would further benefit the building of an encyclopedia. Nominating as many people as you can for these rights shows little to no respect to anyone here. I can try and educate you further on your adoption classroom if you so wish.

In addition, I would like to remind you that as it says on the Adopt-a-user page, adoption is not a shield. You remain solely responsible for your behavior. I cannot force you to change, and blame cannot be placed on me if you choose to continue making disruptive edits. öBrambleberry of RiverClan 20:37, 21 February 2013 (UTC)

(talk page stalker) I concur. Nobody wants to see you blocked. Consider doing some mainspace work: Wikipedia:Requested articles/Images. Let me know if I can help. Anna Frodesiak (talk) 00:34, 22 February 2013 (UTC)

Block

Hi Cmach. I'm sorry, but I've just had to block you due to some privacy-related concerns. It's not because you've done something purposely wrong, but nevertheless given your recent behavior, in combination with your recent file upload, I'm not sure you're able to operate safely and competently here on Wikipedia right now considering that we can't always be here to supervise and guard your edits. I know you absolutely mean well here, and I don't intend for you to be blocked forever and ever or anything, but right now I think you need to take some time away until you have a little bit better of a handle on how to use the internet safely. Please don't respond here by giving any personal details; if you'd like to speak about what real-life related stuff has to do with this block, please email me using the email function, or use the Unblock Request System to privately appeal the block to Wikipedia's administrators.

Block Appeal

This user is asking that his block be reviewed:

Cmach7 (block log • active blocks • global blocks • contribs • deleted contribs • filter log • creation log • change block settings • unblock • checkuser (log))

---

Request reason:

I will not put down any personal information. I will create some pages that I know I can site sources on and edit constructivley. Regards, Cmach7 22:39, 26 February 2013 (UTC)

Notes:

• In some cases, you may not in fact be blocked, or your block has already expired. Please check the list of active blocks. If no block is listed, then you have been autoblocked by the automated anti-vandalism systems. Please remove this request and follow these instructions instead for quick attention by an administrator.
• Please read our guide to appealing blocks to make sure that your unblock request will help your case. You may change your request at any time.

Administrator use only:

If you ask the blocking administrator to comment on this request, replace this template with the following, replacing "blocking administrator" with the name of the blocking admin:

{{Unblock on hold |1=blocking administrator |2=I will not put down any personal information. I will create some pages that I know I can site sources on and edit constructivley. Regards, [[User:Cmach7|<span style="color:green">C</span>]][[User talk:Cmach7|<span style="color:aqua">mach</span>]][[Special:Contributions/Cmach7|<span style="color:brown">7</span>]] 22:39, 26 February 2013 (UTC) |3 = ~~~~}}

If you decline the unblock request, replace this template with the following code, substituting {{subst:Decline reason here}} with a specific rationale. Leaving the decline reason unchanged will result in display of a default reason, explaining why the request was declined.

{{unblock reviewed |1=I will not put down any personal information. I will create some pages that I know I can site sources on and edit constructivley. Regards, [[User:Cmach7|<span style="color:green">C</span>]][[User talk:Cmach7|<span style="color:aqua">mach</span>]][[Special:Contributions/Cmach7|<span style="color:brown">7</span>]] 22:39, 26 February 2013 (UTC) |decline = {{subst:Decline reason here}} ~~~~}}

If you accept the unblock request, replace this template with the following, substituting Accept reason here with your rationale:

{{unblock reviewed |1=I will not put down any personal information. I will create some pages that I know I can site sources on and edit constructivley. Regards, [[User:Cmach7|<span style="color:green">C</span>]][[User talk:Cmach7|<span style="color:aqua">mach</span>]][[Special:Contributions/Cmach7|<span style="color:brown">7</span>]] 22:39, 26 February 2013 (UTC) |accept = accept reason here ~~~~}}

Considering that you have demonstrated a lack of understanding of how to create content in the past, what will be different if you are unblocked? --Rschen7754 22:51, 26 February 2013 (UTC)
