Request reason:

I was unaware of the rule of Wikipedia saying one should not use a users Talk Pages as a form of "social media" to talk to them. I assure you the message I sent Retartist was all in good fun and between friends. I have read the rules and guidelines, I understand them and why they are there and will try to refrain from future actions such as this. SunWises (talk) 18:16, 19 April 2018 (UTC)

Accept reason:

I apologize for misinterpreting your message left on Retartist's user talk page as harassment - messages like these from new accounts (just like this very situation here) are typical of editors who maliciously violate policy to harass others and continue disruption. Retartist confirmed on my user talk page that you two know one another personally in real life, so I understand the message as a good-humored poke between friends. Hence, I accept your explanation and I'm unblocking your account. ~Oshwah~^{(talk) (contribs)} 18:24, 19 April 2018 (UTC)

I'm willing to give a benefit of a doubt in this case, @Oshwah: would you be OK with an unblock? Also SunWises, what type of edits do you think you'd work on if your were to be unblocked? RickinBaltimore (talk) 18:21, 19 April 2018 (UTC)

RickinBaltimore - Way ahead of you ;-) ~Oshwah~^{(talk) (contribs)} 18:26, 19 April 2018 (UTC)

Thank you very much @Oshwah:! @RickinBaltimore: I'm still very new so I'm not 100% sure on that, but I was hoping to help with edits on Religious/Mythological or Philosophical pages.
