Request reason:

I was blocked for "not here to build an encyclopedia". After reading the provided link (some of the reasons an account may be blocked for this), I realized I did not do any of those reasons. This is a fairly new account and I have only ever made a few changes. Recently I tried to fix something but gave up because there were way too many inconsistencies to fix. So I rolled it back and gave up. Could that be why I was blocked indefinitely? I only just noticed because I logged in and tried to fix the wording of another article."

Decline reason:

Taking a look at your edits, many of them were straight-forward vandalism, changing cited information so as to vandalise it, or removing sourced content. Yamla (talk) 16:21, 8 December 2020 (UTC)

Request reason:

So a while ago I ran across a page with inaccurate historical information, which I tried to fix, but there were too many inconsistencies to fix so I rolled the page back to what it was before I had begun and gave up, but later found I was blocked anyways? So to make this very clear, yes I am hoping this block can be removed becuase I was blocked anyways despite rolling back the change as if I had never made it. I was trying to help but there was too much to fix and gave up. The way the article is written, it was almost impossible to fix and if you care about accuracy feel free to fix it yourselves but I do not feel it is worth my effort. However, I do sometimes run into grammatical errors that I guess I assumed you would want fixed? So I fixed them becuase again, I'm trying to help, but if you dont care or want errors fixed then feel free to leave me blocked I guess. Anyways, I'm only back now because I found a small issue with a page I was using for school and Id rather use an account than an Ip (and I still do not understand why I was blocked for a change I technically never even made). I wanted to bring attention to some racially charged language I found and fixed, but for some reason it was immediately rolled back? I can provide a link so you can fix it yourself if you dont plan on unblocking me. Again, I'm just trying to help.

Accept reason:

Following your request, I have unblocked you. PhilKnight (talk) 19:28, 11 April 2022 (UTC)

Yes. We block the underlying IP as well. --Deepfriedokra (talk) 03:12, 11 April 2022 (UTC)

@Doug Weller: - would you object to an unblock? PhilKnight (talk) 18:27, 11 April 2022 (UTC)

@PhilKnight: sure, go ahead. Doug Weller talk 18:42, 11 April 2022 (UTC)

• @PhilKnight: I don't think this unblock is working out the way you hoped it would. --Floquenbeam (talk) 02:07, 15 April 2022 (UTC)

  I agree to only fix spelling and grammar mistakes as I run across them. What did you mean by this? Aceplante (talk) 03:22, 17 April 2022 (UTC)

Is this becuase I keep fixing the other page? Please take a look at the edit I keep having to make and let me know what you think. Aceplante (talk) 03:24, 17 April 2022 (UTC)

You need to get consensus on the talk page. Doug Weller talk 08:58, 17 April 2022 (UTC)
