Disambiguation link notification for September 13
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Tlot Tlot, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page The Garden (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Chrissy Amphlett Real Age
Hi Fokker, Thank you in your quest to present the truth on Chrissy Amphletts real age. Unfortunately people can't see the woods for the trees. Chrissy was born in 1954 and there is no doubt about this.

Speedy deletion nomination of Myron Lysenko
If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.
You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.
A tag has been placed on Myron Lysenko requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a person or group of people, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please read more about what is generally accepted as notable.
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 "Click here to 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 removed 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, you can place a request here. Drmies (talk) 02:24, 26 September 2013 (UTC)

Please do not attack other editors, as you did on Chrissy Amphlett. Comment on content, not on contributors. Personal attacks damage the community and deter users. Please stay cool and keep this in mind while editing. Thank you. Dl2000 (talk) 01:25, 30 September 2013 (UTC)
You are suspected of sock puppetry, which means that someone suspects you of using multiple Wikipedia accounts for prohibited purposes. Please make yourself familiar with the notes for the suspect, then respond to the evidence at Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/FokkerTISM. Thank you. Flat Out let's discuss it 11:21, 30 September 2013 (UTC)
Welcome to Wikipedia. At least one of your recent edits, such as the edit you made to Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/FokkerTISM, did not appear to be constructive and has been reverted or removed. Although everyone is welcome to contribute to Wikipedia, please take some time to familiarise yourself with our policies and guidelines. You can find information about these at the welcome page which also provides further information about contributing constructively to this encyclopedia. If you only meant to make some test edits, please use the sandbox for that. Thank you. Flat Out let's discuss it 11:40, 30 September 2013 (UTC)
Hello, I'm Flat Out. I noticed that you made a comment on the page User talk:71.96.136.182 that didn't seem very civil, so it has been removed. Wikipedia needs people like you and me to collaborate, so it's one of our core principles to interact with one another in a polite and respectful manner. If you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. Flat Out let's discuss it 11:44, 30 September 2013 (UTC)
Please refrain from making unconstructive edits to Wikipedia, as you did at Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/FokkerTISM. Your edits appear to be disruptive and have been reverted or removed.
- If you are engaged in an article content dispute with another editor then please discuss the matter with the editor at their talk page, or the article's talk page. Alternatively you can read Wikipedia's dispute resolution page, and ask for independent help at one of the relevant notice boards.
- If you are engaged in any other form of dispute that is not covered on the dispute resolution page, please seek assistance at Wikipedia's Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents.
Please ensure you are familiar with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines, and please do not continue to make edits that appear disruptive, until the dispute is resolved through consensus. Continuing to edit disruptively could result in loss of editing privileges. Thank you. Flat Out let's discuss it 11:47, 30 September 2013 (UTC)

The article Rain (Man in the Wood song) has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:
- Fails WP:SONG. No content that cannot comfortably be included in article on band.
While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles 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 article 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. TheLongTone (talk) 19:06, 1 January 2014 (UTC)

Your link to the wrong Charlotte Dawson
I notice you have made a note on the Charlotte Dawson article on 1 March 2014, stating correctly that the article is not about the Charlotte Dawson who is the daughter of Les Dawson - but then I think you put a link on Les Dawson's article sending readers directly to the wrong Charlotte Dawson. I have removed that link so hopefully the confusion will end now. Melbourne3163 (talk) 10:26, 1 March 2014 (UTC)

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Neuro (video game), you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Ubuntu (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Speedy deletion nomination of Bottle (song)
Hello FokkerTISM,
I wanted to let you know that I just tagged Bottle (song) for deletion, because the article doesn't clearly say why the subject is important enough to be included in an encyclopedia.
If you feel that the article shouldn't be deleted and want more time to work on it, you can contest this deletion, but please don't remove the speedy deletion tag from the top.
You can leave a note on my talk page if you have questions. JacobiJonesJr (talk) 09:07, 25 May 2014 (UTC)
Orphaned non-free image File:Mr floppy morrisseys.jpg
Thanks for uploading File:Mr floppy morrisseys.jpg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).
Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described in the criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. Stefan2 (talk) 15:09, 29 May 2014 (UTC)

Manosphere
There is currently a discussion at Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents regarding an issue with which you may have been involved. The discussion is about the topic Manosphere. Thank you. FiredanceThroughTheNight (talk) 00:37, 2 June 2014 (UTC)
{{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}}
. However, you should read the guide to appealing blocks first. Diannaa (talk) 02:54, 2 June 2014 (UTC)FokkerTISM (block log • active blocks • global blocks • contribs • deleted contribs • filter log • creation log • change block settings • unblock • checkuser (log))
Request reason:
There are more constructive edits than vandalistic ones - see https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:Contributions/FokkerTISM&offset=&limit=500&target=FokkerTISM, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DAAS_Icon, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mr_Floppy and https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tlot_Tlot, these are some of the edits linked. Also, with the Manosphere page, I wanted to make sure the page was neutral by adding these invisocomments. The Shane West thing was because I had read the history of the page and saw people editing that they were Shane's girlfriend or wife. Do not just look at my last few edits and judge me by them. Other than that, I have nothing to say.
Decline reason:
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.
- Might I suggest that rather than just saying why you made those edits, some appreciation of what might be wrong with them would be a good idea? (Or do you think they were acceptable?) -- Boing! said Zebedee (talk) 06:39, 2 June 2014 (UTC)
- I might have been too harsh on the feminists, the jews and those editors who believed they were Shane West's wife. FokkerTISM 06:44, 2 June 2014 (UTC)
- Hmm, "the feminists" and "the jews"... well, I guess we'll leave it to an admin to see what they think of that attempt at unblock. -- Boing! said Zebedee (talk) 07:41, 2 June 2014 (UTC)
- I guess I don't have an en.wiki account anymore... FokkerTISM 07:42, 2 June 2014 (UTC)
- Indefinite blocks are not meant for punishment. They are to ensure that editing goes noticed and that the disruptive activity stopped. The sole reason why you were not unblocked is because you show no signs of acknowledgement of what you did wrong, or why it was not acceptable. I'm sure if you were to admit, understand, and acknowledge that you are not going to do it again, you might have a good chance at unblock. Small disclaimer; just another user, not an administrator. Tutelary (talk) 17:36, 2 June 2014 (UTC)
- OK, I accept that what I did was "wrong". FokkerTISM 07:26, 5 June 2014 (UTC)
- So it wasn't actually wrong, just "wrong" - do you realize how insincere that sounds? An admin considering unblock will want to be convinced that you're genuine, not just that you're reciting the right words by rote. Anyway, you will need to post a new unblock request to draw an admin's attention -- Boing! said Zebedee (talk) 11:06, 5 June 2014 (UTC)

OK, I was actually wrong and will just stick to editing the encyclopedia instead of propagating racism. FokkerTISM 11:07, 5 June 2014 (UTC)
Decline reason:
I'm sorry, but from this and the comments above, it's obvious you're "saying the right words" without having realised or accepted that what you were blocked for was wholly unacceptable conduct, and, therefore, there is no guarantee that the conduct won't recur once the block is lifted.
