Tiger - I'm touched

Thank you. But all credit to you for improving the Tiger-class cruiser article by cutting away extraneous matter. GraemeLeggett (talk) 19:31, 1 October 2021 (UTC)

October 2021

You have been blocked indefinitely from editing for violating copyright policy by copying text or images into Wikipedia from another source without evidence of permission. Please take this opportunity to ensure that you understand our copyright policy and our policies regarding how to use non-free content. You are quite an experienced editor, but have twice introduced material that has needed to be revision-deleted in the last few months, but your response to the notices is to simply remove them with snarky edit summaries - which is not acceptable.

If you think there are good reasons for being unblocked (which will basically involve you promising that you will not continue such behaviour), please read the guide to appealing blocks, then add the following text below the block notice on your talk page: {{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}}.  Black Kite (talk) 21:09, 7 October 2021 (UTC)

Request reason:

The crime is that I "knowingly introduced copyright violations" I didn't, I was sent them by a friend, should've checked & it's now fixed. I only remove talk entries when they are rude. I'm requesting that I'm unblocked & I'll watch for copyright although one in 5000 edits is hardly hardcore.

Decline reason:

You are responsible for edits made from your account, whether they are of your own creation or based on something provided by another party. As copyright violations potentially put Wikipedia in legal jeopardy, we must take them seriously. This request does not convince me that this problem will not recur, so I am declining your request. 331dot (talk) 09:02, 8 October 2021 (UTC)

Request reason:

Well that's harsh after 12 years & 5000 edits, particularly as on review, my copyright infringement while similar to that on Channel 4 website (as about the same thing) it's not verbatim & my comments were "snarky"

Decline reason:

Copyright violations are a habit. MER-C 10:28, 9 October 2021 (UTC)

TenthEagle, you say that "I was sent them by a friend, should've checked & it's now fixed". What edits are you referring to? Adult Material, or Hechtel-Eksel? What research have you undertaken since your block to ensure that it is only "one in 5000 edits" of yours that have copyright problems? And how will you respond to constructive criticism in future (is it by continuing to delete it all without prejudice until blocked)? — Bilorv (talk) 16:02, 8 October 2021 (UTC)

I was referring to Adult Material, I don't exactly recall Hechtel-Eksel but it may have been from a blog ?. I delete all comments in the same way I delete all emails & text messages but I'm happy to keep them if that's what it takes. Steve Bowen (talk) 20:29, 8 October 2021 (UTC)

But you also reply to emails and text messages, don't you? You didn't reply to Dianaa or myself, and you left rude messages in edit summaries like this. It is more normal to archive talk page conversations, but deletion is allowed. — Bilorv (talk) 15:32, 9 October 2021 (UTC)

For the record, I did a spot check on a couple of suspicious articles. I did not find anything because the sources are dead and Wayback was uncooperative. MER-C 14:14, 9 October 2021 (UTC)

Request reason:

I still feel that my blocking was harsh as my wording on the Adult Material page, while similar wasn't lifted from any other source it was just similar words about the same subject, so after 12 years and 5000 edits I am again appealing my Blocking as I believe it's more about deletions of talk messages rather than any infringement of Wiki rules. In addition, I don't have a "Copyright violation habit and no issues of personal attacks, or impolite conduct

Decline reason:

Per below. — Daniel Case (talk) 06:35, 25 July 2022 (UTC)

I'm sure that you could be unblocked, TenthEagle, if you read our rules about close paraphrasing and perhaps asked questions about the parts that are still confusing you, or why we have this guideline. But you will not be unblocked with this clear indication that you intend to continue violating our copyright rules in the future. An indefinite block is not supposed to be an infinite block, but a block that lasts as long as it takes for you to recognise what mistakes you made and convince yourself and us that you can be trusted to edit again. — Bilorv (talk) 22:23, 24 July 2022 (UTC)

Request reason:

Here Goes - I've carefully read the articles on; Indefinite blocks, the Guide to appealing blocks, and the page on Close paraphrasing, which I believe is closest to the rational originally used to block me. I now have a much better understanding of the applied policy and will be more careful in the future taking greater responsibility for my edits. In the case of Adult Material, this was a pure coincidence that my two-sentence edit was so similar to the summary on the Channel 4 website. I got carried away with the edits on Hechtel-Eksel after seeing the knocked out Jagdpanther tank at the Imperial War Museum Duxford although I did credit the book in my edit. I do have a habit of deleting comments as I do with all media, this is something I will change moving forward and although some of the comments in hindsight bordered on rude, they were actually for my reference and not aimed at those trying to help me. I therefore submit a request to be unblocked and will see the past 10 months as a lesson in losing one of my favourite pastimes.

Decline reason:

Does not convincingly address how they will avoid introducing material copyrighted elsewhere into Wikipedia. Deepfriedokra (talk) 18:05, 1 August 2022 (UTC)
