Template change

Hi Tbf69. I noticed that you completely overwrote the template Template:User male without giving any kind of explanation in your edit summary or on the talk page. I've reverted this change, mainly because you deleted the template documentation, which new editors may find useful. Please try to form WP:CONSENSUS in the talk page next time before drastically changing a relatively common template. Thanks – Popo Dameron talk 22:17, 11 March 2023 (UTC)

I've re-reverted your change, please do not change such widely used templates without discussion. The Wordsmith^{Talk to me} 06:26, 12 March 2023 (UTC)

ANI Notice

There is currently a discussion at Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents regarding an issue with which you may have been involved. Thank you. Please pause your disruptive merging of userboxes until the issue is discussed there. The Wordsmith^{Talk to me} 07:27, 12 March 2023 (UTC)

Tbf69, you say on your user page that you are open to trout-slapping. Well:

Whack! You've been whacked with a wet trout. Don't take this too seriously. Someone just wants to let you know that you did something silly.

I am sure you meant well, but recasting people's user boxes to say something different is rude. You are in effect messing with others' user pages for no reason. (Even where you don't like the picture, your personal preferences don't override others' right to self expression, with the exceptions listed at WP:UPNOT). And it's especially rude to merge user boxes so everyone winds up with your preferred single choice (e.g. Template:User Buses, Template:User Public transit. And it even seems a little hypocritical, from someone whose own user page displays both "This user likes electric locomotives." and "This user supports railway electrification." You're riding roughshod over what people have chosen to say on their user pages. There is absolutely no reason to eliminate "duplication" in user boxes. Especially when the "duplication" between "This user takes public transport." (with a picture of the earth from space indicating environmentalism), "This user takes Public Transport because they have to!" (with various pictures of country and region-specific buses) and "This user uses public transit" with a b/w picture of an NYC subway train is in large part your own over-simplification. (IMO there's also an accessibility issue with the contrast in Template:User Public transit.) Someone has suggested at AN/I that your newly-created guideline, Wikipedia:Merging userboxes, should be nominated for deletion. You're the only editor there. Would you consider tagging it yourself for deletion, WP:G7? Yngvadottir (talk) 09:25, 12 March 2023 (UTC)

You have been blocked indefinitely from editing for abuse of editing privileges. In addition, your ability to edit your talk page has also been revoked.

If you think there are good reasons for being unblocked, please read the guide to appealing blocks, then submit a request to the Unblock Ticket Request System.  _signed, Rosguill ^talk 17:15, 12 March 2023 (UTC)

I received your email. Reviewers look at and address requests when they have time to look at them. Please be patient, your case is not the most simple which means that someone will need to invest some time in it. The main reason you lost access to this page is your efforts at canvassing other users to edit for you while you are blocked. This is against policy- while blocked, you may only use this page to request to be unblocked, and if other users edit for you while you are blocked, they may be blocked as meat puppets of you. 331dot (talk) 11:45, 18 March 2023 (UTC)
