Your submission at Articles for creation: Mordecai ( Regular show) (September 5)

Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed! Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reason left by Dan arndt was:

This submission's references do not show that the subject qualifies for a Wikipedia article—that is, they do not show significant coverage (not just passing mentions) about the subject in published, reliable, secondary sources that are independent of the subject. Before any resubmission, additional references meeting these criteria should be added (see technical help and learn about mistakes to avoid when addressing this issue). If no additional references exist, the subject is not suitable for Wikipedia.

The comment the reviewer left was:

Fails WP: GNG, lacks any sources or references

Please check the submission for any additional comments left by the reviewer. You are encouraged to edit the submission to address the issues raised and resubmit when they have been resolved.

If you would like to continue working on the submission, go to Draft:Mordecai ( Regular show) and click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window.
If you now believe the draft cannot meet Wikipedia's standards or do not wish to progress it further, you may request deletion. Please go to Draft:Mordecai ( Regular show), click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window, add "{{db-self}}" at the top of the draft text and click the blue "publish changes" button to save this edit.
If you do not make any further changes to your draft, in 6 months, it will be considered abandoned and may be deleted.
If you need any assistance, you can ask for help at the Articles for creation help desk, on the reviewer's talk page or use Wikipedia's real-time chat help from experienced editors.

September 2019

Please stop your disruptive editing. If you continue to vandalize Wikipedia, as you did at Barack Obama, you may be blocked from editing. Acroterion (talk) 12:43, 21 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

You have been blocked from editing for a period of 31 hours for persistent vandalism. Once the block has expired, you are welcome to make useful contributions.

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 ~~~~}}. Acroterion (talk) 16:31, 21 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

You've clearly made some useful edits and have some interest in this encyclopedia project. Stop fooling around with silly lizard people edits and the "thems the facts" edits - that's probably occurrence 18,563 of that very original expression, mostly inflicted by 13 year olds - and go help us out when your block expires. Acroterion (talk) 16:36, 21 September 2019 (Ut

i am very sorry for what i did. but in my defense, i was going to change it back after a minute or so. i was just gonna look at the changes, laugh and them a little, and immeadietly change them back. Bill cage (talk) 20:05, 21 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I wouldn't call that a defense, but I'm willing to unblock if you promise not to do that again. Acroterion (talk) 20:13, 21 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

i promise wholeheartedly. thought i must ask. did you change my edit on toy story 4 where i said it was the tenth installment?

Everything else you'd been doing at that time was vandalism, how do I know that wasn't too? Unblocked. Go and sin no more.Acroterion (talk) 11:42, 22 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

It was'nt vandalism, it was the truth. i counted, and there have been ten films in the toy story series. the others were not counted because they shorts or tv specials but in my opinion they should. p.s thank you Bill cage (talk) 11:48, 22 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

You'll need a source from an authoritative list that sorts the shorts and specials, not just according to your count. Acroterion (talk) 11:53, 22 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

fine, i'll just leave it alone Bill cage (talk) 11:54, 22 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

November 2019

Please do not remove content or templates from pages on Wikipedia, as you did to John Wick (character), without giving a valid reason for the removal in the edit summary. Your content removal does not appear to be constructive and has been reverted. If you only meant to make a test edit, please use the sandbox for that. You didn't explain why you removed the short description. David Biddulph (talk) 10:59, 7 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

i have a very good reason. i added an edit to the page, it did'nt turn out the way i wanted so i removed it. Bill cage (talk) 16:29, 7 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Reverting your own edit is OK; removing other content without explanation isn't. Please be more careful next time. --David Biddulph (talk) 18:11, 7 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

i never removed other content, what are you talking about? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Bill cage (talk • contribs) 18:59, 7 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

December 2019

Please stop your disruptive editing. If you continue to vandalize Wikipedia, you may be blocked from editing. CLCStudent (talk) 19:47, 24 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

what disruptive editing? Bill cage (talk) 19:48, 24 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

On Hillary Clinton. CLCStudent (talk) 19:49, 24 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

look man, i don't know what you're talking about. i've never once edited that page. Bill cage (talk) 19:50, 24 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

So [[1]] was not you? CLCStudent (talk) 19:55, 24 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

i don't remember doing that. and it doesn't seem like something i would do. yes, i did get banned for vandalism once, but i've learned my lesson since then and i don't consider vandalism a good thing. Bill cage (talk) 19:59, 24 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Well, if that is the truth, your account has been compromised. I would recommend reading WP:COMPACC. CLCStudent (talk) 20:00, 24 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

thanks. i'll try and see if i can figure out what's going on. Bill cage (talk) 20:05, 24 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Blocked

You have been blocked indefinitely from editing for abuse of editing privileges.

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=i am not responsible for this edit. my account was hacked, and the one responsible has been taken care of. these edits will not happen again, i promise you. ~~~~}}

.

You, or somebody using your user ID, proceeded to make the same edit that CLCStudent warned you about, but this time to the article Bill Clinton. Perhaps you don't consider vandalism a good thing, but whoever you have let use your ID seems to enjoy it. -- Hoary (talk) 12:19, 27 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

i did'nt let anyone use it! i have no clue who is is doing this, but i'm trying figure that out, and i can't do that if i'm blocked. Bill cage (talk) 12:47, 27 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

The template says "You have been blocked indefinitely from editing for abuse of editing privileges." "You" here includes "whoever is using this user ID". Whoever is using it seems intend on adding irrelevant comments to articles, and needs to be blocked. Have you read Wikipedia:Compromised accounts yet? - Hoary (talk) 07:54, 28 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

yes, but i've dealt with the situation. the person who's been doing this has been blocked from being able to use my account.Bill cage (talk) 10:36, 28 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Please read Wikipedia:Guide to appealing blocks and format your request to be unblocked in the right way. Here's how: {{unblock|reason=XYZ}}, of course (i) not making any attempt to do it in red, and (ii) not writing "XYZ" but instead your reason. Then some administrator other than me will consider it. -- Hoary (talk) 13:08, 28 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

thank you. Bill cage (talk) 13:16, 28 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Template:Unblock reason=i am not responsible for this edit. the one who did this has been taken care of and it shall not happen again</nowiki>}}

That didn't quite work. If you want to try again, copypaste Hoary's red text as it appears on the saved/published talkpage, and change nothing except switching XYZ for your reason. Gråbergs Gråa Sång (talk) 10:43, 8 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

ok, umm....how do i...copy something? Bill cage (talk) 13:58, 8 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Does copypaste help? How did you do it in the above attempt? You can of course type it by hand as well. Note though, that the "letter" after unblock is a Vertical bar. Gråbergs Gråa Sång (talk) 15:56, 8 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

my keyboard does not have a vertical bar. [[User:Bill cage|

{{unblock|reason= i am not responsible for this edit, the one behind this has been dealt with. it will not happen again}}

You're getting closer. Write the same thing again, but without the "nowiki"-bits you don't see on the published talkpage. They are code that makes the template appear as text, not as a template. So, nothing outside the double curly brackets. Gråbergs Gråa Sång (talk) 12:22, 26 January 2020 (

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.

{{Unblock on hold |1=blocking administrator |2=i am not responsible for this edit the one behind this has been dealt with, it will not happen again |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 am not responsible for this edit the one behind this has been dealt with, it will not happen again |decline = {{subst:Decline reason here}} ~~~~}}
