Your recent edits
[edit]Hi there. In case you didn't know, when you add content to talk pages and Wikipedia pages that have open discussion, you should sign your posts by typing four tildes ( ~~~~ ) at the end of your comment. If you can't type the tilde character, you should click on the signature button 
located above the edit window. This will automatically insert a signature with your name and the time you posted the comment. This information is useful because other editors will be able to tell who said what, and when. Thank you! --SineBot (talk) 20:11, 10 May 2009 (UTC)

[edit]The information you are adding is already mostly in the Timeline image to the right of the article; bearing in mind it's a Featured Article, I think you should discuss your proposed additions on the Talk page before adding them again. Rodhullandemu 21:13, 4 January 2010 (UTC)
Warnings

[edit]
Please stop your disruptive editing. If you continue to vandalize Wikipedia, as you did at Signature song, you will be blocked from editing. You removed Johnny Ray for no apparent reason and replaced it with Radiohead, falsely citing the Ray source as the Radiohead source. Please don't do something like this again or action will be taken. Thank you. Geeky Randy (talk) 23:17, 28 March 2010 (UTC)

Request reason:
I've been told the best way to atone for past actions is to appeal on this page. I will swiftly delete Eoghan M Lyng and Col John Walker if that is so. I have spent fourteen months away from this account and I would ask if is time to let the past be. I am sorry for overstepping last year
Decline reason:
You were engaged in block evasion earlier today as Eoghan M Lyng. Normally, this would make you ineligible for unblock consideration for a period of six months, whereupon WP:SO would become available to you. You are free to make an unblock request explaining why you believe you shouldn't wait the six months. You'll also want to address your violation of WP:NPA with that other account. I want to be clear, you may have a path toward being unblocked, but your current request is nowhere near sufficient as it does not address all the concerns. Yamla (talk) 14:38, 14 May 2020 (UTC)
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.

Request reason:
I apologise for what I did last year, but I can vouch that my intentions are honorable. If you unblock me, I will instantly delete the other accounts
Decline reason:

- Firstly, you can't delete your other accounts, as accounts are not deleted - they will just remain blocked. Secondly, what about "You'll also want to address your violation of WP:NPA with that other account" (which was just a couple of days ago, not last year)? Boing! said Zebedee (talk) 12:53, 16 May 2020 (UTC)
{{unblock reviewed|I wrote that in my appeal. I wrote one thousand words in the hope of writing out my point of view. If anything I said caused offence to any of the editors, then I do humbly apologise.|

Request reason:
As I explained, I behaved wrongly-but not intentionally maliciously-and thought setting up the new account was the way forward. I felt the need to speak my defence and felt the best way to do it was under my own name. I won't use either Col James Walker or Eoghan M Lyng, as Wikipedia would rather that I stick to this profile. I happened to remember the password, but this is a profile I set up when I was fifteen. I'm now twenty six; I thought I'd moved on from teenagehood. Naieve, yes, but it was how I felt. I'm sorry for any inconvenience.
Decline reason:
You are continuing to engage in sock puppetry and block evasion. You are now site banned under WP:3X. NinjaRobotPirate (talk) 19:04, 16 May 2020 (UTC)

Where is the compassion? I tried contacting Michael Knowles on Linkedin in the hope that we could talk about this reasonably; he still has not dignified me with an answer.

Request reason:
Here it is, my original account I will use from now on.I think eighteen months is punishment enough
Decline reason:
It's nowhere near 18 months since you last engaged in block evasion. As this appears to be a deliberate attempt to mislead us, you are not eligible to apply for unbanning until six months have passed since this unblock or since your most recent edit, whichever is later. That's no sooner than 2021-03-02. At that point, you'll need to follow WP:UNBAN; you've been so abusive that you are banned, not blocked. Your approach of caliming "eighteen months is punishment enough" will categorically not fly. Yamla (talk) 19:40, 2 September 2020 (UTC)

- Four months ago I wrote at User talk:Eoghan M Lyng: "I should note that the main intent of this person is to ensure his own writings appear in Wikipedia,[1] which sets him directly at odds with the Wikipedia policy explained at WP:NOTHERE." This is still an important factor. Binksternet (talk) 20:12, 2 September 2020 (UTC)
Continued block evasion, promotion of Eoghan Lyng's writings
[edit]Irish IP Special:Contributions/89.100.122.82 has promoted Eoghan Lyng's writings by placing refs in several articles.[2][3]
Four days ago, Irish IP Special:Contributions/51.171.205.133 added a Lyng reference.[4]
Last October, Irish IP Special:Contributions/185.156.197.23 was doing the same thing.[5][6][7]
A year ago, Irish IP Special:Contributions/79.97.190.148 was doing the same thing, with the added twist of leaving out Lyng's author credit.[8]
Irish IP Special:Contributions/89.100.129.138 was doing the same thing mid-2022.[9]
I don't think ah edit filter will work. Binksternet (talk) 22:59, 14 January 2024 (UTC)
