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).

Request reason:

Because a lot of the work I do is politically charged, the first three SPIs were made by people that were following me on Wikpiedia, not by admins or experienced editors Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Ylevental/Archive. One of the admins figured out that the same connected group of people was going after me for four years. Special:Diff/945920522/945925090 and as you probably know, one of them was behind the User:Curse of Fenric attack on me. All the other reasons listed for this permanent block I do agree with.

I had only intended to make a few edits and create a few articles initially, but I was surprised at the initial wave of attacks back in early 2016. Being neutral on Wikipedia as a long-term user really requires a very strong sense of self-control. Probably should have read WP:CALM, WP:POINT and WP:CIVIL more in depth, although just about everything seems politically charged nowadays and is prone to conflict. And sometimes, the rules for editing can be really specific on what is expected. I will be fine with whatever decision is made. Ylevental (talk) 19:41, 20 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Decline reason:

This request does not deal with the reason for your block: meatpuppetry. If you wish to be unblocked, you will need to address those concerns. CaptainEek ^{Edits Ho Cap'n!}⚓ 21:54, 20 June 2020 (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.

I will be away for a while, so I won't be responding for a while Ylevental (talk) 18:10, 21 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

One thing that should be done, however, is to include more guidelines for appropriate behavior at Wikipedia:High-functioning autism and Asperger's editors. I notice that most of the guidance is on how to interact with autistic editors, but not specifically how autistic editors should behave. While many of us follow the rules, there is a disproportionate amount of us that may not reach out to other editors as needed, and have gotten blocked. Example guidelines to follow for many autistic individuals include WP:SPA, WP:OWN, WP:HERE, WP:NPOV, and so on. Ylevental (talk) 14:37, 22 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

In line with WP:THERAPY, there shouldn't have to be "special rules" for editors on the spectrum. It's not the responsibility of Wikipedia to lay out our rules any more plainly than they already are. Praxidicae (talk) 14:58, 22 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Praxidicae: I didn't mean official rules. WP:AUTIST is an WP:ESSAY, not a rule. If enough neutral editors did agree that these concerns should be addressed more in this essay, then there would be no problem for someone to include them, right? Ylevental (talk) 15:55, 22 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I think using your talk page to wikilawyer essays is probably not in your best interest while you're indefinitely blocked but ymmv. Praxidicae (talk) 15:56, 22 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Finally, whatever happens, and I really mean it, no WP:GRAVEDANCING. You will know if this does apply to you. Ylevental (talk) 19:41, 20 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Record of email I sent regarding COI issue

@Sphilbrick: I sent you an email on the matter. Ylevental (talk) 14:10, 26 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Ysannelo: Do you have a COI with Shain Neumeier, Lydia Brown, and other related articles? Please let me know, you edit mostly in one area and know lots about these individuals Ylevental (talk) 14:57, 26 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
