Thank you for using the Unblock Ticket Request System. I'm sorry, but I cannot unblock you at this time. This requires greater discussion than is possible via UTRS.

Please read Wikipedia's Guide to appealing blocks for more information. (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Guide_to_appealing_blocks) As you still have access to your talk page, please post your unblock request to your user talk page, omitting any off-Wiki personally identifying information.

Request reason:

My edits were blocked as I had not cited my sources. After I had cited my sources, I was let known by one of the other editors that I could not post my own documented references as it falls under the self-publishing rule of Wikipedia. Next time I shall attempt to find official builders diagrams and manufacturing codes which are not photos of the locomotives serial number. Before hand I was not aware of this rule so I shall not reoffend. On a side note, I was originally blocked for “sock-puppeting” however I have no affiliation with the other two accounts involved. I am sure the other accounts are people from my online server who were (poorly) attempting to defend me even after I had realised I was in the wrong.Danners430 (talk) 00:00, 21 December 2023 (UTC) on behalf of Rock HBRF[reply]

Accept reason:

Okay. ~ ToBeFree (talk) 00:53, 21 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Please note, however, that secondary sources are Wikipedia's main source of information, and primary sources need to be used only with caution. ~ ToBeFree (talk) 01:07, 21 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
