April 2012 edit

Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute to Wikipedia, at least one of your recent edits, such as the one you made to Grid plan, did not appear to be constructive and has been reverted or removed. Please use the sandbox for any test edits you would like to make, and read the welcome page to learn more about contributing constructively to this encyclopedia.

August 2012 edit

Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, your addition of one or more external links to the page List of Albanian writers has been reverted.
Your edit here to List of Albanian writers was reverted by an automated bot that attempts to remove links which are discouraged per our external links guideline. The external link(s) you added or changed (http://elliottmoglica.blogspot.ca/) is/are on my list of links to remove and probably shouldn't be included in Wikipedia. If the external link you inserted or changed was to a blog, forum, free web hosting service, fansite, or similar site (see 'Links to avoid', #11), then please check the information on the external site thoroughly. Note that such sites should probably not be linked to if they contain information that is in violation of the creator's copyright (see Linking to copyrighted works), or they are not written by a recognised, reliable source. Linking to sites that you are involved with is also strongly discouraged (see conflict of interest).
If you were trying to insert an external link that does comply with our policies and guidelines, then please accept my creator's apologies and feel free to undo the bot's revert. However, if the link does not comply with our policies and guidelines, but your edit included other, constructive, changes to the article, feel free to make those changes again without re-adding the link. Please read Wikipedia's external links guideline for more information, and consult my list of frequently-reverted sites. For more information about me, see my FAQ page. Thanks! --XLinkBot (talk) 17:35, 3 August 2012 (UTC)Reply
If this is a shared IP address, and you didn't make the edit, please ignore this notice.

Please stop your disruptive editing. If you continue to vandalize Wikipedia, as you did at History of Toronto, you may be blocked from editing. Johnny Au (talk/contributions) 20:58, 22 August 2012 (UTC)Reply

September 2012 edit

This is your last warning. The next time you use Wikipedia for soapboxing, promotion or advertising, as you did at List of Albanian writers, you may be blocked from editing without further notice. MikeWazowski (talk) 20:54, 13 September 2012 (UTC)Reply

January 2013 edit

This is the only warning you will receive. Your recent vandalism, as you did to Thénardiers, will not be tolerated. Although vandalizing articles on occasions that are days or weeks apart from each other sometimes prevents editors from being blocked, your continued vandalism constitutes a long term pattern of abuse. The next time you vandalize a page, you may be blocked from editing Wikipedia without further notice. Eyesnore (talk) 00:24, 8 January 2013 (UTC)Reply

This is your last warning. You may be blocked from editing without further warning the next time you vandalize a page, as you did with this edit to Revenge of the Nerds. TBrandley (what's up) 16:17, 8 January 2013 (UTC)Reply

Lose the blocking edit

 
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).

Request reason:

This is a branch of the Toronto Public Library system, specifically the Hillcrest branch in North York. Based on the fact that "Scarborough" (a different borough) has already been mentioned, you are currently blocking an entire city's worth of computers because of one shithead. Thank you.

Decline reason:

You've provided no reason to believe the block evasion has ended. But don't worry, the block won't affect you, so long as you sign in. Yamla (talk) 18:10, 11 October 2017 (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.

Thanks for being an asshole, Yamla. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 205.189.94.13 (talkcontribs) 19:13, 11 October 2017 (UTC)Reply
This comment shows the wisdom of the block. Anyone who wishes to contribute constructively, from this library, simply has to create an account. I note that there have been no less than 10 blocks and I see no merit in a long series of relatively short blocks. In the circumstances I am extending the block and, as stated below, any further abusive remarks will result in the loss of talk page privileges.

Request reason:

Penalizing an entire library community over the actions of one guy is totally asinine. 205.189.94.13 (talk) 19:47, 11 October 2017 (UTC)Reply

Decline reason:

(1) It is unfortunate that the only way we can stop disruptive editing in this situation is by blocking an IP address, which has collateral effects on other editors, but unfortunately the only alternative is to sit back and permit disruptive editors to destroy the encyclopaedia. (2) I know exactly what it is like to find that one can't edit Wikipedia from a public library computer as a result of a block caused by other people, because that once happened to me. I didn't sit there typing messages accusing the administrators of being "assholes" and "asinine". Instead I accepted that there were good reasons for the block, even though it was inconvenient for me, and I created an account. I have never suffered from the effect of a block again. (3) I wouldn't assume that all the problems were caused by one "guy". Most public library IP addresses are the source of endless vandalism from many people. (4) Experience over the years shows that editors who use childish name-calling and personal attacks in one context (such as requesting an unblock) are unlikely to become decent civil cooperative editors in other contexts. Probably for that reason, in my seven years as a Wikipedia administrator I have not once seen anyone unblocked as the result of an unblock request that attacks or denigrates the administrator who placed the block. (5) One more personal attack will be likely to lead to talk page access being removed. The editor who uses the pseudonym "JamesBWatson" (talk) 20:30, 11 October 2017 (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.

To edit, please create an account at home and log in with it here.

Due to persistent vandalism, anonymous editing from your school, library, or educational institution's IP address may be blocked (disabled). You will continue to have access to read the encyclopedia. If you are logged in but still unable to edit, please follow these instructions. To prevent abuse, account creation via this IP address might also be disabled.

If account creation is disabled and you are unable to create an account elsewhere, you can request one by following the instructions at Wikipedia:Request an account. Please check on this list that the username you choose has not already been taken. If editing is required for class projects, please have your instructor or network administrator contact us (with reference to this IP address) at the Unblock Ticket Request System with a contact email address that is listed on your school's website.

Request reason:

Just because the admins at enwiki are a gang of notoriously incompetent, power-crazed bunglers, it is no reason to block the entire Toronto Public Library system.
