You have been blocked indefinitely from editing because your account is being used only for vandalism.

Request reason:

I understand what I did was wrong, and I promise it will never happen again. RainbowBacon69 (talk) 06:57, 3 February 2013 (UTC)

Decline reason:

This unblock request has been declined due to your history of vandalism and/or disruption to this encyclopedia. However, we are willing to give you another chance provided that you can earn back the trust of the Wikipedia community. To be unblocked you need to demonstrate that you are willing and able to contribute positively to Wikipedia. You can do this by:

• Familiarizing yourself with our basic rules.
• Read our guide to improving articles
• Pick any pre-existing article you wish to improve.
• If you have trouble choosing an article to improve, see this index of articles needing improvement for ideas. Once you have decided on the article you will propose improvements to:

1. Click the Edit tab at the top of that article;
2. Copy the portion of the prose from that article that you will be proposing changes to. However:
    • do not copy the "infobox" from the start of the article (i.e., markup like this: {{infobox name|...}});
    • do not copy any image placement code (i.e., markup like this: [[File:Name.jpg|thumb|caption]]);
    • do not copy the page's categories from the bottom of the page (i.e., markup like this: [[Category:Name]]);
    • do not copy the stub tag (if there) from the bottom of the page (i.e., markup like this: {{Foo stub}});
3. Click edit at your talk page, and paste at the bottom under a new section header (like this: == [[Article title]] ==) the copied content but do not save yet;
4. Place your cursor in the edit summary box and paste there an edit summary in the following form which specifies the name of the article you copied from and links to it (this is required for mandatory copyright attribution): "Copied content from [[exact Name of Article]]; see that article's history for attribution."
5. You can now save the page. However, if your edits will include citations to reliable sources (which they should), place at the end of the prose you copied this template {{reflist-talk}} and then save.

• Now, edit that content to propose significant and well researched improvements by editing the selected portion of the article. Please note that we are not looking for basic typo corrections, or small unreferenced additions; your edits should be substantial, and reflect relevant policies.
• When you are done with your work, re-request unblocking and an administrator will review your proposed edits.
  • If we (including the original blocking admin) are convinced that your proposed edits will improve Wikipedia as an encyclopedia, you will be unblocked.

If you need help while working with your proposed edits, you may add "{{Help me|your question here ~~~~}}" to your talk page. Thank you. Beeblebrox (talk) 02:03, 5 February 2013 (UTC)

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.

• So, are you saying you didn't understand it was wrong until after you got blocked for it? If you didn't understand it was wrong, then I don't think you are a suitable person to be contributing to this project. But if you did understand it was wrong but went ahead with it anyway, why should we consider you to be any more trustworthy now than you were a few hours ago? -- Boing! said Zebedee (talk) 09:07, 3 February 2013 (UTC)

I'm sorry guys, what I did was idiotic. I am merely pleading for a chance to redeem myself. I ensure that I will never vandalize an article again. RainbowBacon69 (talk) 12:52, 3 February 2013 (UTC)

You don't need more than one unblock request, so I've removed the template from your second one. I looked at your contribution history, but since you have never made an edit that wasn't vandalism, I wasn't able to see what kinds of useful improvements Wikipedia might lose by blocking you. Could you be more specific about how you would be making the encyclopedia better with an active account? -FisherQueen (talk · contribs) 13:08, 3 February 2013 (UTC)

I'm sorry. I Use wikipedia daily and I will correct any spelling errors that I come across— Preceding unsigned comment added by RainbowBacon69 (talk • contribs) 22:18, 4 February 2013‎

If you're offering your services primarily as a proofreader, I can't help noticing that there are six errors in the two sentences you just posted. I don't think the evidence supports the idea that your contributions in that field will make the encyclopedia better. -FisherQueen (talk · contribs) 22:51, 4 February 2013 (UTC)

I don't know why you're doing it, but please don't put [[Category: ... ]] around your statements - and please sign them with "~~~~" -- Boing! said Zebedee (talk) 22:53, 4 February 2013 (UTC)
