Request reason:
It has been 7 years since I last edited wikipedia. I acknowledge that my edits before might not have followed the rules of Wikipedia. I have changed a lot in these 7 years and would like another chance to edit. I promise to follow the rules to the best of my ability.
Accept reason:
- Can you please specifically address the problems with your past contributions and explain how you will change your approach if unblocked? Boing! said Zebedee (talk) 19:28, 17 July 2018 (UTC)
- I was younger back then and I was editing from a biased viewpoint. I will try and be more neutral from now on.
- I'm inclined to unblock per WP:ROPE. I'd ask the blocking admin, but they've been gone for years. Other opinions? SQLQuery me! 03:43, 18 July 2018 (UTC)
- I agree - 7 years is a long time, especially for a young person. @SQL: I'd consult the blocking admin too if they were still active - but as they're not, I'm happy to trust your judgment. Boing! said Zebedee (talk) 08:34, 18 July 2018 (UTC)
PS: Just a comment on the username... I don't see anything wrong with it policy-wise (and I personally don't care about an editor's religious/cultural background or their politics). But in my experience, whenever someone advertises their political and/or cultural allegiances in their username, they're more likely to draw unwanted attention from those with opposing opinions and are less likely to get a fair hearing in disagreements from such opponents. They are more likely to be judged on biased generalizations than on their actual actions and words, and that can make it harder to work in this collegial project which welcomes (even relies on) diversity. Being open about your opinions in the form of userboxes on your user page seems to me to be a lot less controversial - it's as if putting it in your username is seen as something of a battle standard, if you know what I mean. Anyway, as I say, I think the username is fine and should certainly not stand in the way of unblock - but I think it's worth considering a rename to something less attention-grabbing, especially after the old block and the reasons for it.

- Yeah sure, I might consider a re-name.

[edit] Please do not add unreferenced or poorly referenced information, especially if controversial, to articles or any other page on Wikipedia about living (or recently deceased) persons, as you did to Sergei Shoigu. Thank you. ScottishFinnishRadish (talk) 15:57, 15 March 2022 (UTC)
"non-notable crime involving unnotable person"
[edit]Could you clarify over this edit as to why you think that a murder of someone based on racial intent is a "non-notable crime" and that individuals with standalone Wikipedia articles due to significant national coverage that included virgils in multiple cities makes them a "unnotable person"? When including your BLP violation that you made the year prior, are you sure you've been "promising to follow the rules to the best of my ability" since your unblock?

- Bro you are clearly hypocritical about your views on Chinese Sinicization of Tibet. I'm Chinese living in Australia but I have travelled China extensively and done research there is little to no "cultural genocide" in Tibet. If Tibetans were really being wiped out that would be a catastrophe and no nation would want any minority being completely assimilated, especially in the world we live in today. I have read many books about Tibet and none of them mention "cultural genocide", many of the books were written by westerners not the Chinese government. My views are not from the Chinese government, I have my disagreements also, but maybe you should travel China and get to know China better before writing allegations of genocide against Tibetans without real solid evidence.

- I get that you support Tibetan independence movement but think about the negative consequences it could have towards the Tibetan economy. They already heavily rely on Chinese economy and they have been part of China for quite some time, supporting independence feels like your doing something just and noble, but thats only the surface. Look deeper and there are many, if not countless problems the people of Tibet have to face. Look at the dissolution of the Soviet Union for instance, and the Central Asian nations. Look at how they still have authoritarian governments and how they are struggling economically. If you live in the United States is it appropriate for me to say hand your lands back to the Native Americans and let them establish their country? Or seeing as your Jewish hand your lands (Israel) back to the Palestinians (I'm not being antisemitic I'm just trying to make a point). See you don't want me saying that as it makes no sense.
