Notice of Edit warring noticeboard discussion

Hello. This message is being sent to inform you that there is currently a discussion involving you at Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Edit warring regarding a possible violation of Wikipedia's policy on edit warring. Thank you.

November 2012

You have been blocked indefinitely from editing for persistent edit-warring, battleground behavior, and WP:IDHT. If you think there are good reasons why you should be unblocked, you may appeal this block by adding below this notice the text but you should read the guide to appealing blocks first.

Request reason:

I'm confused by this block, I've tried to explain why I made the edits that I did and explained how I stopped once I was certain they violated Wikipedia editing guidelines (a point which seems to have been completely ignored by the administrator who issued this block), especially in light of the fact that I knew I was coming off a block. Can somebody please look at this case in its entirety and provide me with specific evidence of 'edit-warring or battleground behavior' that merited this block?

Decline reason:

You did not stop edit warring when you were made aware, by being blocked several times with limited time periods, that this is against Wikipedia guidelines. Instead, you continued to do so. Please explain how unblocking you this time would lead to different behavior. Seraphimblade ^{Talk to me} 07:59, 13 November 2012 (UTC)

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.

Draft

I have moved the draft you have created to your user space as User:Festermunk/RT (TV network); subsequently, I have deleted the page (and its talk page) because your account is blocked. In the event you are ever unblocked, please e-mail me or request its undeletion. - Mike Rosoft (talk) 20:38, 16 November 2012 (UTC)

Request reason:

Dear administrator(s), after having not edited on Wikipedia on this account for nearly half a year, I am respectfully asking that this indefinite block on my account be lifted on grounds that I believe I can finally contribute to the Wikipedia community in a constructive manner. Throughout the time that I've spent barred from Wikipedia's editing privileges, I have not only been able to know of the mistakes that led to my block, but have also thoroughly read through Wikipedia's editing guidelines to prevent the repeat of any the past mistakes. More importantly, the time that I've served I think has allowed me to appreciate exactly the kind of damage of what I did to the integrity of some of Wikipedia's founding philosophy; I believe where I fundamentally erred was in misconstruing the Wikipedian community's accommodation of disagreement for license to abuse. I have also learned the importance of taking responsibility for what I did, particularly in light of my attempt to circumvent the block by creating sockpuppet accounts in order to continue using (abusing really) Wikipedia's editing privileges, and that if I am to truly move on from this ugly episode of my Wikipedia life, then I can't continue being a coward and have the courage to admit to the wrongs of my former ways. Well, I do and I humbly ask for your trust in my promise too. Festermunk (talk) 07:29, 10 April 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.
