Request reason:

I understand why I have been blocked and is truly sorry for vandalizing pages due to lack of sources. I RESPECT THE RULES AND WOULD LIKE TO BE UNBLOCKED. Joeblackkhole (talk) 01:33, 16 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Decline reason:

Repeatedly making unsourced changes to dates with no explanation after being warned about it numerous times is not an example of respecting the rules. OhNoitsJamie ^Talk 03:58, 16 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

If you want to make any further unblock requests, please read the guide to appealing blocks first, then use the {{unblock}} template again.

Copyvios

Joeblackkhole: I know you are indef-blocked, but I've found another problem and I'm signalling it here in case you make a fresh appeal of the block. I have just improved East St. Louis Lincoln High School, which you started, and thank you for writing up that school; however, I found the text was entirely copied from the source you cited. I just checked another article you created, Anthony Johnson (actor), and found that the lede is a copyvio of the cited source. If you are to return to editing, you must realize that you can't copy and paste from a source, regardless of whether you identify the source in a footnote; you must both identify the source and put the information in your own words (except for very brief quotes in quotation marks or blockquotes). Copyvio is a serious matter, because Wikipedia is publication; extremely few texts on-line are free of copyright (basically very old and not republished text and publications of the US government). See WP:COPYVIO. Yngvadottir (talk) 23:24, 4 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]
