Aww thank you so much! --UCLAgirl623 ^{(Whats up!)} 21:35, 15 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

You're welcome! And from one Californian to another, welcome. And feel free to let me know if you have any questions! Drewmutt (^ᴥ^) talk 21:40, 15 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Yep! My love for UCLA and editing articles about their NFL and NBA players @Drewmutt:. Is there a UCLA wikiproject where you add yourself as a participant? --UCLAgirl623 ^{(Whats up!)} 21:47, 15 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Hmm.. the closest I can think of is the University of California Wikiproject. Hope that helps! Drewmutt (^ᴥ^) talk 21:58, 15 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I went to the teahouse as well @Drewmutt:. I need help with the Datone Jones article. --UCLAgirl623 ^{(Whats up!)} 22:06, 15 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Help with what? Btw, you can pop your head into #wikipedia-en-help ^connect I tend to be around in there, and it's typically a more efficient way to ask for guidance, but here is fine too. Drewmutt (^ᴥ^) talk 22:10, 15 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for telling me another way! Thank you! @Drewmutt: --UCLAgirl623 ^{(Whats up!)} 22:12, 15 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, I'm Gonzo fan2007. I noticed that you made a comment that didn't seem very civil, so it has been removed. Wikipedia is built on collaboration, so it's one of our core principles to interact with one another in a polite and respectful manner. If you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Telling other editors "stfu" in edit summaries is unacceptable. Consider this your first warning to be civil. « Gonzo fan2007 (talk) @ 21:42, 16 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Unblock

This user's unblock request has been reviewed by an administrator, who declined the request. Other administrators may also review this block, but should not override the decision without good reason (see the blocking policy).

UCLAgirl623 (block log • active blocks • global blocks • contribs • deleted contribs • filter log • creation log • change block settings • unblock • checkuser (log))

Request reason:

Its been two years since I was check-user blocked. This is my first edit since being blocked two years ago. I don’t believe that I have any connection to User:Proposed deletion tagger because I wasn’t proposing too many articles for deletion while User:Proposed deletion tagger has. In other words, I don’t believe that I was a sockpuppet of User:Proposed deletion tagger. My last edit was nominating an article for speedy deletion (prior to getting blocked and the article did got deleted eventually) but I have been working on articles like Datone Jones. After being blocked, I took a break for two years without disruptive editing and vandalism. If I do return, I would to work on articles related to UCLA (for example: Datone Jones), Anaheim (Ex: Canyon High School, Anaheim Ducks), the Steelers (2017 Steelers, Chris Boswell, any former Steeler, any current Steeler, etc), and Los Angeles (which is a probably). Its very unlikely I WP:PROD articles this time around. I apologize for my behavior (such as this edit summary for example) that led to me being blocked and I pledge to be a better editor this time. —UCLAgirl623 ^{(Whats up!)} 02:12, 23 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Decline reason:

The connection with Proposed deletion tagger was established through technical means and is not in doubt. Yamla (talk) 11:57, 23 December 2019 (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. 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.

@Yamla: I have took a two-year break and I regret my actions that led to me being blocked. Is there anyway I can appeal a checkuserblock? UCLAgirl623 ^{(Whats up!)} 06:18, 24 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Yes. WP:GAB explains how to do this. --Yamla (talk) 11:57, 24 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

@Yamla: I’ve read through and it says that checkuserblocks should be appealed through the Arbitration Committee. UCLAgirl623 ^{(Whats up!)} 16:27, 24 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Second unblock

This user's unblock request has been reviewed by an administrator, who accepted the request.

Request reason:

After being blocked, I took a break for two years without disruptive editing and vandalism. If I do return, I would to work on articles related to UCLA (for example: Datone Jones), Anaheim (Ex: Canyon High School, Anaheim Ducks), the Steelers (2017 Steelers, Chris Boswell, any former Steeler, any current Steeler, etc), and Los Angeles (which is a probably). Its very unlikely I WP:PROD articles this time around. I apologize for my behavior (such as this edit summary for example) that led to me being blocked and I pledge to be a better editor this time. I plan to stick to only one account: this one. —UCLAgirl623 ^{(Whats up!)} 02:57, 26 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Accept reason:

I'm willing to give you another chance, and am unblocking you with a one-account restriction. GorillaWarfare (talk) 03:09, 29 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Can you clarify what other accounts you've used to edit Wikipedia? NinjaRobotPirate (talk) 04:26, 26 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I suppose if all the check user issues are cleared away, we can unblock?-- Deep fried okra 04:55, 26 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

@Deepfriedokra: I believe that these type of issues have to be cleared. However, is there anyway the check user issue could be cleared? @NinjaRobotPirate: I edited with this account two years ago and I’ve edited UCLA-related, Los Angeles-related, and Pittsburgh Steelers-related articles like Datone Jones, Artie Burns, and even created the article Eli Ankou. I must admit that I used twinkle to propose articles for deletion and nominate articles for speedy-deletion. I admit that this was the reason why a checkuserblock happened, and why GorillaWarfare tagged me as a sockpuppet of Proposed deletion tagger (talk · contribs). After being blocked, I took a break for two years without evading this block. If I get unblocked, I pledge not to use Twinkle to tag articles for deletion. I also would like to edit articles I edited two years ago (2017) before I was blocked like Datone Jones. I might do editing on Kenny Clark’s article as well. I still hope to return soon. —UCLAgirl623 ^{(Whats up!)} 05:45, 26 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

So, you're saying that you've never used any other accounts to edit Wikipedia? That Exactly. Let's draft defensive players from UCLA and Stanford says no smart Gm ever is not related to you? Or Team UCLA Grunt II? Or Team UCLA Grunt III? Come on. You made a bunch of themed accounts, most of them got globally locked as socks of Incorrigible Troll, and you found one of your old accounts that didn't get locked. Am I getting warm? NinjaRobotPirate (talk) 06:05, 26 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

@NinjaRobotPirate: Those accounts you mentioned are not mine. I didn’t create those accounts you mentioned. I was blocked for because a check user confirmed that I was a sockpuppet of Proposed deletion tagger (talk · contribs). I, UCLAgirl623, wasn’t the one doing “abstain” votes or attacking Purplebackpack89. The accounts you mentioned did those stuff. Although my username mentions UCLA, it is because I’m a UCLA fan who lives in Anaheim, not because I intended to attack Purplebackpack89 or do “abstain” votes on AFD pages (to clarify this claim: I would never attack Wikipedians like Purplebackpack89 under any circumstances nor would I vandalize Wikipedia articles). The truth is: my edits were completely different from Exactly. Let's draft defensive players from UCLA and Stanford says no smart Gm ever, Team UCLA Grunt II, and Team UCLA Grunt III because from my account (UCLAgirl623), I did edits to Datone Jones and Artie Burns, while the accounts you mentioned were either attacking Purplebackpack89 or voting “abstain” on AFD pages. I would never, under any circumstances, engage in vandalism. With due respect, those accounts you mentioned were not my accounts. I was blocked because a checkuser confirmed I was a sock of Proposed deletion tagger (talk · contribs). I am not related to Incorrigible Troll, Exactly. Let's draft defensive players from UCLA and Stanford says no smart Gm ever, Team UCLA Grunt II, or Team UCLA Grunt III. —UCLAgirl623 ^{(Whats up!)} 07:34, 26 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

So which accounts were yours, and which are you denying were yours? Honestly, your best recourse at this point is to just tell the truth and promise to act better. Magog the Ogre (t • c) 19:10, 28 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

@Magog the Ogre: I will be very honest: I am not related to Exactly. Let's draft defensive players from UCLA and Stanford says no smart Gm ever, Team UCLA Grunt II, or Team UCLA Grunt III. The truth is that I didn’t created those three accounts and the truth is that I’m not related to those three accounts (it’s also why I deny being related to those three). The truth is that I was blocked by GorillaWarfare in 2017 because she confirmed that I was a sockpuppet of Proposed deletion tagger. The truth is that I (UCLAgirl623) took a break for two years after my account got blocked. I promise to act better next time I return and I promise not to engage in any disruptive editing. I also won’t use Twinkle to WP:PROD or speedy-nominate any articles for deletion. I will stick to one account: this one (UCLAgirl623). —UCLAgirl623 ^{(Whats up!)} 21:15, 28 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

@GorillaWarfare and Jpgordon: both of you have dealt with one of these accounts before and will have to make this decision. Magog the Ogre (t • c) 23:26, 28 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

You said in your first unblock appeal that I don’t believe that I have any connection to User:Proposed deletion tagger because I wasn’t proposing too many articles for deletion while User:Proposed deletion tagger has. In other words, I don’t believe that I was a sockpuppet of User:Proposed deletion tagger. I notice that throughout your second appeal, you've denied operating the three other accounts NinjaRobotPirate asked about; you've also been careful to say that I was blocked for because a check user confirmed that I was a sockpuppet of Proposed deletion tagger, but not actually admit that you were the operator of that account. For the avoidance of doubt, can you please clarify if you are now admitting to have operated the User:Proposed deletion tagger account? GorillaWarfare (talk) 23:58, 28 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

@GorillaWarfare: @Magog the Ogre: To clarify, I didn’t operated “Proposed deletion tagger” or any of the three accounts NinjaRobotPirate mentioned. These are the reasons why:

I did not operated any of the three accounts NinjaRobotPirate mentioned because I (UCLAgirl623) did not engage in vandalism, harras Purplebackpack89, or vote “abstain” on AFD pages.
I didn’t operated the Proposed deletion tagger (talk · contribs) account because that account’s proposed deletions were reverted and that account also engaged in vandalism.
Although I did used Twinkle to WP:PROD the articles Greater Tampa Chamber of Commerce, Tamish Pulappadi, and Les Garçons Singapore, those articles were eventually speedy-deleted. That doesn’t mean that I operated the Proposed deletion tagger account.
Both Proposed deletion tagger and the three accounts NinjaRobotPirate mentioned all engaged in vandalism. I did not.

To clarify, I (UCLAgirl623) was not the operator of Proposed deletion tagger or any of the three accounts that NinjaRobotPirate mentioned. —UCLAgirl623 ^{(Whats up!)} 01:44, 29 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for clearing that up. I am willing to unblock you, with the restriction that you only use one account. Happy editing. GorillaWarfare (talk) 03:08, 29 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Your thread has been archived

Hi UCLAgirl623! You created a thread called Improving the lead section for Anthony Barr (American football) at Wikipedia:Teahouse, but it has been archived because there was no discussion for a few days. You can still find the archived discussion here. If you have any additional questions that weren't answered then, please create a new thread.

Why Anthony Barr

Appears you have a focus on adding to this article in particular. Do you have any personal connection with Barr that justifies the attention? Or is this just one of several/many articles about UCLA football players that went on to a professional career, that you intend to add details to? David notMD (talk) 14:26, 1 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@David notMD: I don’t have any personal connections with Anthony Barr, but I intend to add details to the article (and improve it). I did mention that I would edit articles related to the UCLA task force. —UCLAgirl623 ^{(Whats up!)} 17:39, 1 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry

I apologize if the line of questioning made you uncomfortable; we do sometimes get people who try to avoid bans by showing up and pretending to be completely new users, and I was briefly concerned that you might be one because you were more knowledgeable than a total neophyte should be.

And this is because you're not a total neophyte, you've been here a few years.

Again: sorry. DS (talk) 01:32, 14 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Your fine and I accept your apology. --UCLAgirl623 ^{(Whats up!)} 01:33, 14 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
