Unblock request
TreasuryTag (block log • active blocks • global blocks • contribs • deleted contribs • filter log • creation log • change block settings • unblock • checkuser (log))
Request reason:
Notes:
- In some cases, you may not in fact be blocked, or your block has already expired. Please check the list of active blocks. If no block is listed, then you have been autoblocked by the automated anti-vandalism systems. Please remove this request and follow these instructions instead for quick attention by an administrator.
- Please read our guide to appealing blocks to make sure that your unblock request will help your case. You may change your request at any time.
If you ask the blocking administrator to comment on this request, replace this template with the following, replacing "blocking administrator" with the name of the blocking admin:
{{Unblock on hold |1=blocking administrator |2=I've been away from Wikipedia now for nearly two years. I've not socked or been disruptive or send abusive emails. I now feel ready to contribute constructively again, and as indefinite blocks are not meant to be infinite (and I have definitely fulfilled [[WP:OFFER]] multiple times) I would respectfully request a second chance. Thanks for your consideration. |3 = ~~~~}}
If you decline the unblock request, replace this template with the following code, substituting {{subst:Decline reason here}}
with a specific rationale. Leaving the decline reason unchanged will result in display of a default reason, explaining why the request was declined.
{{unblock reviewed |1=I've been away from Wikipedia now for nearly two years. I've not socked or been disruptive or send abusive emails. I now feel ready to contribute constructively again, and as indefinite blocks are not meant to be infinite (and I have definitely fulfilled [[WP:OFFER]] multiple times) I would respectfully request a second chance. Thanks for your consideration. |decline = {{subst:Decline reason here}} ~~~~}}
If you accept the unblock request, replace this template with the following, substituting Accept reason here
with your rationale:
{{unblock reviewed |1=I've been away from Wikipedia now for nearly two years. I've not socked or been disruptive or send abusive emails. I now feel ready to contribute constructively again, and as indefinite blocks are not meant to be infinite (and I have definitely fulfilled [[WP:OFFER]] multiple times) I would respectfully request a second chance. Thanks for your consideration. |accept = accept reason here ~~~~}}
- I will advise of this to WP:AN. Note: in order to fulfill WP:OFFER fully, you are recommended to prove a positive editing history elsewhere. I'm not seeing any signs in your unblock of such history. As such, I'm not sure how you can suggest that you "have definitely fulfilled WP:OFFER multiple times". As usual, if you wish to make a comment in the ensuing AN thread, you may use {{adminhelp}} to request a copy/paste ES&L 13:55, 25 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Thanks for posting to WP:AN. But I'm not sure where it is stated that WP:OFFER requires 'editing elsewhere'? The page lists three criteria: (1) six months without socking, (2) a commitment not to repeat the offending behaviour, and (3) no extraordinary reasons not to be unblocked. That is what I referred to when I said that I've followed OFFER. ╟─TreasuryTag►hemicycle─╢ 13:59, 25 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- The other point about WP:OFFER is that it needs to be explicitly extended to you - you do not choose it on your own. Can you show where an admin closed an unblock and extended WP:OFFER to you? ES&L 14:08, 25 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- I'm not aware that that is a condition of WP:OFFER, and it seems a strangely formal step to a process which is otherwise informal, simple and egalitarian. I also can't find it stated on the WP:OFFER page.
But I also think we're both missing the point slightly, which is whether or not I have the capacity to make a constructive contribution to Wikipedia. ╟─TreasuryTag►Storting─╢ 14:12, 25 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]- Considering your block log, the reasons behind this indef, the failed appeals to ArbCom, the thing that seems to be missing above is how you're going to ensure that similar behaviours will not occur in the future. It would be a 1-strike-you're-out situation, and personally, I'm not convinced by your very few words that you have determined a method of avoiding not just the conflicts, but the actions that have led you to where you currently are. As per WP:AAB and WP:GAB, you're also not acknowledging and taking responsibility for those actions that led you here ES&L 14:21, 25 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- (edit conflict) Believe it or not, people (even adults) can change over the course of two years. The fact that I've been able to walk away from all this for so long, rather than stay around badgering people and making unblock requests every 40 seconds shows that I've changed at least in that small way. I think I've matured as an individual and can edit here again. ╟─TreasuryTag►District Collector─╢ 14:23, 25 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
