User talk:GeekyDave

Welcome!

Hello, GeekyDave, and welcome to Wikipedia! I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Unfortunately, one or more of the pages you created, such as User:GeekyDave, may not conform to some of Wikipedia's content policies and may not be retained. In short, the topic of an article must be notable and have already been the subject of publication by reliable and independent sources.

Please review Your first article for an overview of the article creation process. The Article Wizard is available to help you create an article, where it will be reviewed and considered for publication. For information on how to request a new article that can be created by someone else, see Requested articles. If you are stuck, come to the Teahouse, where experienced Wikipedians can help you through the processes.

New to Wikipedia? Please consider taking a look at our introductory tutorial or reviewing the contributing to Wikipedia page to learn the basics about editing. Below are a few other good pages about article creation.

I thank you for your concern and for welcoming me to the Wikipedia community. I apologise for being banned and disappointing you GeekyDave (talk) 15:35, 20 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy deletion nomination of User:GeekyDave

A tag has been placed on User:GeekyDave requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section U5 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page appears to consist of writings, information, discussions, and/or activities not closely related to Wikipedia's goals. Please note that Wikipedia is not a free web hosting service. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such pages may be deleted at any time.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator, or if you have already done so, you can place a request here.

Ruy I’m so sorry for messing up. Im awfully sorry as recently my life has been on a rollercoaster and didn’t know about the rule about social media. GeekyDave (talk) 16:15, 20 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

My Appeal Of Block

This user's unblock request has been reviewed by an administrator, who accepted the request.

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

Request reason:

I believe that I was previously banned for an illegitimate reason as I was genuinely trying to help the patball page by adding information which it was lacking. I also admitted to my sock puppet because I believed I would be forgiven. Admittedly that was wrong as I should’ve appealed but I am a relatively new memeber to the community and wish to be actively helping (the appeal process wasn’t made accessible to find).

Thank you for your concern and hope this reaches you well. I believe with such mOderating Wikipedia shall become a prosperous place free of vandals (of which I am not)

Accept reason:

I'm not really sure what's going on here, but it's obvious that you've got two accounts: this one and Chicken256. Wikipedia's software has a feature that will automatically block any IP address a blocked editor uses. I've disabled that on your other account, so it shouldn't cause you to experience trouble editing from this account. If you've got any other accounts besides that, please just stop using them. Stick to using this account. The rules on sock puppetry are a bit complex, and it's easy to run afoul of them. You should probably read through our rules before you get more involved in editing. Unlike most websites, we are actually serious about expecting people to read our rules, and we do enforce them. You can see some pretty basic explanations above in the "welcome to Wikipedia" message.

I also believe I was blocked for treating Wikipedia as a social media site, please elaborate on what this means please. I now realise I can’t do that and meant my page to be humour (if I remember correctly) and didn’t know the humour tag to exist GeekyDave (talk) 15:38, 20 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

This account is not blocked, so what block are you appealing? Note the difference between a ban and a block, the terms are not the same. 331dot (talk) 17:02, 20 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

And what is your relationship to the Chicken256 account? 331dot (talk) 17:03, 20 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I made it as a new start to try and help in Wikipedia GeekyDave (talk) 17:31, 20 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

May I also know how long my ban is? My profile is locked so there must be some sanctions GeekyDave (talk) 17:32, 20 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

My sanctions may be for my making of a ‘social media’ page which I believe was a bit much. Sorry GeekyDave (talk) 17:41, 20 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Your user page was deleted, but this account is not locally blocked. If you are saying that there is a global lock on your account, you must appeal to the stewards at [1], we cannot handle that locally. 331dot (talk) 18:07, 20 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
