Hello I apologize for my previous actions and I realize that what happened to my account was reasonable, and I am not asking to be unbanned, but if you unbanned me it would be really appreciated. What I am asking though, is that an edit is made on the page for the Contiguous United States, as the page states that the entirety of all Chinese territory is bigger than the entirety of all The United States’ territory, which is simply not true as the entirety of China is about 9.6 million km, but the entirety of the United States is about 9.8 million km. I would appreciate it if the change was made, and I would appreciate it if you could appeal my ban, as I have found multiple inaccuracies or articles that are outdated and missing information, and I would also only add important things.

Request reason:

I would like to say that I apologize for my vandalism on this site. It was a very immature and childish act of me and I believe that I should be unbanned for a few reasons. The first reason is that I rarely see articles that I want to edit and therefor I would not be editing often, and I would only have edit if it was a really important edit to be made. The second reason why I should be unbanned is because I have realized that there is no point in defacing articles on Wikipedia as they are being reviewed by admins constantly and my edit will at most be up for a few minutes on a big article, and maybe a little longer in a less viewed article, and even so few people would see it, and it only inconveniences the admins. And for a final reason for why I should be unbanned is because I would like to make this website a more reliable source, and even though it is already reliable, it is still not an acceptable source for projects in the workplace or in school and I know that if Wikipedia was more reliable and could be used in research projects (which would be very good because it was very annoying in school to have to find good sources even though with Wikipedia I could get the research over in 5 minutes) it would be much more convenient and if I was unbanned I would add more useful information to the articles and get rid of false information. I understand that what I did was wrong and I would understand if you rejected my unban request, but I would appreciate it if you would lift my ban.

Accept reason:

I think the best way to see if you will be a good contributor is to remove the block. I would ask you to consider your edits carefully, and consider that an article might be the way it is for a good reason. Please make use of talk pages to discuss edits that may at all be criticized. 331dot (talk) 15:32, 23 May 2024 (UTC)Reply

This is one of the better requests that I have seen, but can you give an example of a specific edit you would make to an article? 331dot (talk) 08:06, 20 May 2024 (UTC)Reply

I would make a change to the Contiguous United States page, because it says that China is bigger than the full US, which is incorrect because if you include Alaska and Hawaii, America is just slightly bigger (sorry if the formatting is weird, the reply button did not work so I had to edit the post).

The reply feature is imperfect for several reasons; it's still relatively new and doesn't work well in all situations- one of which is when the post being replied to is at the bottom. I would submit that is probably not the best change to make without discussion and consensus- there may be reasons the article is worded that way. 331dot (talk) 08:01, 21 May 2024 (UTC)Reply
I would also add to the “List of hip hop musicians” article as it is missing 2 of my favorite rappers, Beasty Boys and Beast Reality, but mostly Beasty Boys is what is more important as they are very important and influential and there are probably many other important rappers that are not on that list that I would add.

I might consider if that they aren't on the list for a reason, but in any event, I'd appreciate it if PhilKnight offered their thoughts, if they have any. 331dot (talk) 06:59, 23 May 2024 (UTC)Reply
The Beastie Boys are on the list hip hop *groups* since they were a group, not individuals. The three main members are listed individuall on the list of hip hop musicians. Beast Reality is a group that doesn't appear to pass GNG. CoffeeCrumbs (talk) 07:23, 23 May 2024 (UTC)Reply
I am not especially enthused about an unblock, but I don't object. PhilKnight (talk) 12:59, 23 May 2024 (UTC)Reply
