Request

This user is asking that their block be reviewed:

Shoot for the Stars (block log • active blocks • global blocks • contribs • deleted contribs • filter log • creation log • change block settings • unblock • checkuser (log))

Request reason:

It has been nearly a year since I was banned from Wikipedia. Starting in August 2021, I continued to upload rapper mugshots without stopping. I received numerous warnings from people to stop, but ignored them and continued to do it. Another instance that resulted in my ban involved events that occurred when I was 16 years old in 2019. I posted countless fake Beatles covers to articles despite editors' warnings not to do so. I didn't listen to them and continued my reckless behavior. I was only recently diagnosed with Obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), which I now realize was a huge factor that contributed to my disruptive and repetitive behavior that lead to my ban. Subsequently, rather than making an effort to avoid using Wikipedia while I was suspended, I repeatedly engaged in Wikipedia:Sockpuppetry, first by using the accounts user:TheCleanestBestPleasure and user:Beatlesfan210, and then by using a variety of different IP addresses. I really missed editing Wikipedia so much that I lost all self-control. During my time on Wikipedia, I have also lied to a number of editors. Back then, I was a terrible person. To get around the system, I would pretend to be at school even if I wasn't. During my time of Wiki, I completed my freshman year of college and began my sophomore year last month. I completed a variety of classes that helped me broaden my vocabulary and improve my conversational abilities. I made a lot of mistakes on Wikipedia, but I also did a lot of good. I have improved and created over fifty articles to Good Article status. I would be in support of a TBAN to not upload any images of any kind for a year. If my account was unblock, I would finish updating Pop Smoke's remaining Wikipedia music articles to Good Article Status, start editing video game articles like Five Nights at Freddy's, and seek mentorship from experienced editors who I have contacted or worked with in the past. I am very sorry for what caused my ban. If I could have controlled my serious urgencies and tendencies back then, I would still be editing and not banned. I am now going to start attending therapy so I could get help with my problems that have led me to get me banned from what I loved doing for many years.

Since you are community banned, no adminstrator may unilaterally lift the block. There must be a community discussion about it. Is this the statement you wish to be transferred to an appropriate forum? I might suggest that any request from you to lift the ban is more likely to succeed if you first go through at least some of the therapy you say you intend to go through. However, if you still wish to proceed, I will transfer the statement as a courtesy. 331dot (talk) 09:01, 5 July 2022 (UTC) 331dot: If you may take the statement to the appropriate forum please. My job offers my co workers and I free therapy, which I am actually going to start today. This is something that I needed since I was 14.[reply]
