Your edits to the Matthew Garrett article

Please refrain from making unconstructive edits to Wikipedia, as you did at Matthew Garrett. Your edits appear to constitute vandalism and have been reverted. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. Repeated vandalism may result in the loss of editing privileges. I would like to remind you that everything written on Wikipedia must be verifiable. Roper Klacks (talk) 21:11, 30 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for making me aware. I have added additional citations. 71.65.65.144 (talk) 04:47, 31 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Anonymous users from this IP address have been blocked from editing from certain pages (Matthew Garrett) for a period of 3 months 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=Your reason here ~~~~}}. Fences&Windows 21:24, 31 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

This user's unblock request has been reviewed by an administrator, who declined the request. Other administrators may also review this block, but should not override the decision without good reason (see the blocking policy).

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

Request reason:

The additions were cited in accordance with wikipedia policy, with accurate light as found in those cited publications. Simply blocking people to obscure scandals that the public has a right to know about and are accurate is not appropriate or conducive to the credibility of Wikipedia in general. This block is not in good faith and suppresses information. 71.65.65.144 (talk) 21:54, 31 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Decline reason:

Your edits were not properly sourced per WP:BLP. You also seem more interested in pushing a cause and not improving this encyclopedia. There are places where you can tell the world about what you deem to be a scandal, this isn't it. I am declining your request. Note that you are still free to edit other articles. 331dot (talk) 23:40, 31 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

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.

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

Request reason:

Social circles of the article subject should be excluded from disciplinary decisions due to unavoidable bias. The reason given in the ban review and initial ban were misleading; not only were the BLP rules followed but the response betrays a pro-subject bias that is resistant to public information being integrated into the article in a proper light. Your political views are not appropriate input to the decisions process here. 71.65.65.144 (talk) 00:13, 1 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Decline reason:

OK. The block is appropriate. The material you are adding is entirely inappropriate. The sources are not in any way sufficient to declare in Wikipedia's voice that something is a "smear campaign". Go tell the world about the "scandal" somewhere else. --jpgordon^{𝄢𝄆 𝄐𝄇} 00:48, 1 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Request reason:

It is critically important to wikipedia's credibility that this be appealed until Wikipedia's policies are followed, regardless of who the subject is of the article or which editors they are socially linked with. 71.65.65.144 (talk) 04:51, 1 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Decline reason:

No, it really isn't. Yamla (talk) 13:31, 1 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I've also reviewed the sources you used, here and here. Neither are appropriate; you need to reread WP:RS and WP:BLP. I want to be clear, I'm taking no position on whether or not there's a smear campaign against Stallman, only that your sources are not appropriate to establish this. --Yamla (talk) 13:35, 1 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for being the only person responding to provide anything resembling an argument about the content besides "no u".

I have read the RS and BLP pages and am not seeing a violation with those sources. Can you be more specific about the issue? If it is just that there is an issue with the sources, it's a well enough known set of events that other sources that do meet the criteria can be used if I were to know what the issue was with the ones in use.

To be clear, there are several issues at contest, and not just whether the Open Letter to remove Stallman was part of a larger "smear" campaign -- though that is being asserted as well. What is at issue is that the subject of the BLP participated in that, as part of a recurring pattern of public and documented smearing of many open source contributors over the years. This article highlights on the subject's accomplishments, like any vanity page would, but does not integrate the subject's quite well known and well documented serial participation in ritual defamation.

To mention, the responses up to this point with "block first, ask questions later" and calling cited contributions "vandalism" as a cover for bias enforcement has undermined the credibility or neutrality of wikipedia in my opinion. Some sort of adjustment is necessary here. I'm happy to discuss modifications but I could use some assistance integrating this content.

This user is asking that their block be reviewed:

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

Request reason:

I could use some assistance navigating your arbitration process. I have been threatened and harassed, accused of vandalism and then was told I was "harassing users" when telling the people doing it to please stop (no person was contacted more than once, so "badgering" is a distortion at best. At some point your editors are accountable for their own behaviour.

2022-07-11 Update: Acroterion has reverted the message I left on the page in question requesting that threatening warnings being left on my page and immediate bans without reference to policy to stop: https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk%3ATide_rolls&type=revision&diff=1097690563&oldid=1097689698

If you review the reason stated in the block and the communication that actually took place, the events and the descriptions do not align.

Threatening people without a reason, or a policy cited is detrimental (and toxic) behaviour. I request a review of this behaviour beyond just lifting the ban.

Notes:

In some cases, you may not in fact be blocked, or your block has already expired. Please check the list of active blocks.
