UTRS appeal #70412

is closed. @HJ Mitchell:, user has left you a bequest. -- Deepfriedokra (talk) 16:31, 29 April 2023 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of Downsizing (property)

The article Downsizing (property) has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Wikipedia should not be turned into a dictionary nor a "How To" guide. Apart from these two, this article contains no encyclopaedic information of any value to the reader.

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. — kashmīrī ^TALK 01:06, 7 May 2023 (UTC)

UTRS appeal #73102

is convincing enough that I'd like to restore TPA. Don't recall if there is a CBAN. -- Deepfriedokra (talk) 00:56, 26 May 2023 (UTC)

@El C: What say ye? -- Deepfriedokra (talk) 00:57, 26 May 2023 (UTC)

Do we need a check user? -- Deepfriedokra (talk) 01:02, 26 May 2023 (UTC)

Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/IncidentArchive1096#User:Djm-leighpark bullying seems to be the ANI that resulted in the block. -- Deepfriedokra (talk) 16:19, 26 May 2023 (UTC)

Restoring TPA con permiso El C. Noting El C wishes to not be pinged. Djm-leighpark, please do not ping El C or anyone else for that matter to your talk page. This will likely need to go to the Admin's Notice Board. -- Deepfriedokra (talk) 12:34, 27 May 2023 (UTC)

Thankyou Deepfriedokra. -- Djm-leighpark(DeirgeDel) ^t_a^c 22:16, 27 May 2023 (UTC)

unblock request 28 May 2023

This user is asking that their block be reviewed:

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

---

Request reason:

My editing merited a block because I was incorrect to challenge an administrator as I did following block following the 16 April 2022 ANI; even if I felt convinced I had due cause. The fact this arose out of harassment by a block-evading sock is in many ways irrelevant - I accept I needed to maintain better control even in this and other difficult situations and I had overly-harassed the sock myself in that case before the sockpuppetry was known. I acknowledge with shame some of my earlier interactions with administrators (and others) in some pressure situations: most especially in some cases where I was totally wrong. I also need to avoid the use of slang, as identified in of one (or more) of my blocks. I will focus in the future to ensure problems are raised calmly through the proper channels and processes and avoid BATTLEGROUND and CIR.

For constructive edits on the English Wikipedia I would expect to be improving a range of articles though I regard my particular areas of interest are Irish Railway History, some biographies (mostly non-blp e.g. engineers and whatever the BBC news website throws up), local/Irish settlement articles, and local/Irish river systems. In particular I am keen to improve article sourcing and have been accumulating books and and identifying books online for this purpose. I would resume doing anti-vandal work etc. Regardless of the outcome of this appeal I (as DeirgeDel) expect to continue activity on Wikidata, Commons, enWQ and gaWP but would likely avoid :simpleWP as too difficult!

If possible I would like to request a Standard Offer please.

Thankyou in anticipation and feel free to ask any specific questions. -- Djm-leighpark(DeirgeDel) ^t_a^c 00:24, 28 May 2023 (UTC)

I can carry this over to AN, if you'd like. Is this unblock request what you'd like to be posted? — Ingenuity (talk • contribs) 12:49, 8 June 2023 (UTC)

@Ingenuity:: That would be fantastic, I confess to being a little frustrated seeing it sitting here stalled and nothing happening and wondering what and when will something happen next, its been a little mentally stressing. I think carry over the request warts and all as it is to AN and hopefully I can address any questions asked of me to people's satisfaction. Thankyou. -- Djm-leighpark(DeirgeDel) ^t_a^c 16:21, 8 June 2023 (UTC)

I've posted at Wikipedia:Administrators'_noticeboard#Unblock_request_for_Djm-leighpark. Please ping me if you'd like anything else copied over. — Ingenuity (talk • contribs) 16:54, 8 June 2023 (UTC)

Obviously I seen @SnowFire:'s comment at AN. To context the situation to my best good faith recollection, and I stand to be corrected, issues generally arose around the Overwriting (prose) AFD (A BOLD creation which really help bring the useful DAB into order in my opinion), Overwriting (computer science) AFD, and the Overwrite/Overwriting DAB (which needs improvement). I suspect I may have upset SnowFire at Talk:Overwriting (computer science) and have vague recollections (quite very possibly inaccurate) of a move discussion raised in parallel with the AfD. I certainly recall having a discussion with SnowFire that would have left them likely feeling very angry so an apology is probably in order for that. When making my unblock request I have already said "I acknowledge with shame some of my earlier interactions with administrators (and others) in some pressure situations"; there will be more than SnowFire in those others. However I am concerned with advice that I should avoid collaberation and anti-vandal work. I'll be open with the community that DeirgeDel is now my main non-enWP account and if you need to be giving that no collaberation advice here then it probably also to be supplied to sister project [Wikiquote] also. You'll find some frank discussions there but also some very excellent support for newbies in an environment beset with block-evading socks at times. A new article restriction would seem harsh and if that is what is required so be it: AfC is an alternative but I have had two very horrendous AfC experiences; albeit I am very supportive of the AfC and NPP system. I think my last new article on the English Wikipedia was Rolls-Royce SMR which really merged content from three others articles to upgrade a re-direct; SnowFire's requested restriction might prevent me from creating anything like that again. -- Djm-leighpark(DeirgeDel) ^t_a^c 11:18, 10 June 2023 (UTC)

@Kashmiri:: I AGF you did not mean it but and anyone, including you, is welcome to contribute to the discussion. is simply not true and mentally stressing for me. I can neither contribute to that discussion not attempt to improve the article. As a blocked user I am unable to contribute to that discussion. I will confess that that I have failed to expand that article as I would like, and that the late DGG seemed to see some potential in it and I somewhat feel I have let him down. Thankyou. -- Djm-leighpark(DeirgeDel) ^t_a^c 04:05, 10 June 2023 (UTC)
