I tried to warn you

I really did. Multiple people did. Should you ever be unblocked, when someone tells you to stop, you stop right that instant. Not in a minute. Not in an hour. You stop RIGHT NOW. --Tarage (talk) 23:25, 11 July 2018 (UTC)

Blocked

I asked you nicely to stop. Then I asked you (rather bluntly for which I apologise) not to create any more user pages intended to harass other people. I was ignored. Consequently, and by the request of several editors on the ANI thread, you are now blocked indefinitely. If you wish to appeal this block, please read the guide to appealing unblocks and follow the instructions therein. Ritchie333 ^{(talk) (cont)} 23:26, 11 July 2018 (UTC)

...Are you really still refusing to listen? Log out, go do something else, come back tomorrow with a clearer head. This is NOT going to get you unblocked. You seriously need to apologize for what you've done. --Tarage (talk) 23:29, 11 July 2018 (UTC)

How do I apologize? RandNetter96 (Talk) (Contributions) 23:30, 11 July 2018 (UTC)

Come back tomorrow and read guide to appealing unblocks. Read it slowly, absorb everything being said there, and craft an unblock request that shows you know exactly what you did wrong and how you are going to make sure you don't do it again. But the first step is to walk away and come back tomorrow. --Tarage (talk) 23:32, 11 July 2018 (UTC)

Request reason:

I was blocked yesterday for creating inappropriate pages to attack another editor who I was in a disagreement with. I was very heated at his apparent refusal to discuss on the talk page of the article, but I also did not edit there. I harassed him in order to make him stop and I understand that doing that is not a way to stop a dispute. I ask that this page be deleted to reflect this. I will not go after editors again, not put templates onto or otherwise edit user pages after being asked not to by an uninvolved editor. I would also like somebody to give me advice when I am in a dispute. Thank you for looking at my appeal. RandNetter96 (Talk) (Contributions) 15:20, 12 July 2018 (UTC)

Accept reason:

Unblocking per discussion below. 331dot (talk) 16:46, 12 July 2018 (UTC)

• I have deleted that page, as requested, and I'll leave your unblock request for someone else to review. Boing! said Zebedee (talk) 16:19, 12 July 2018 (UTC)
• Just FYI there are proper channels for dispute resolution, located at WP:DR, which are available if discussion on a talk page fails to resolve an issue. Ritchie333, I would like to know what you want to see in order for an unblock here. 331dot (talk) 16:21, 12 July 2018 (UTC)

If you think RandNetter96 should be unblocked, and understands the problems, just do it. "I think I would also like somebody to give me advice when I am in a dispute" is a good start. I'll also remind him that if he goes anywhere near those maths articles again, he can expect to be reblocked - by his own admission he doesn't understand the subject (which is fine, we can't be experts in everything) so he shouldn't be starting arguments on it. Ritchie333 ^{(talk) (cont)} 16:27, 12 July 2018 (UTC)

RandNetter96, if you agree to heed Ritchie333's advice, and agree that you will be blocked again should the same problems recur, I would be willing to unblock you. 331dot (talk) 16:33, 12 July 2018 (UTC)

Thank you for giving me a second chance. RandNetter96 (Talk) (Contributions) 16:38, 12 July 2018 (UTC)

So, to be clear, you agree? 331dot (talk) 16:40, 12 July 2018 (UTC)

Yes. RandNetter96 (Talk) (Contributions) 16:45, 12 July 2018 (UTC)

Discussion

@RandNetter96: We don't understand why this website has to be removed. The link we added is about audio description. Can you be more specific? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Audiodescription (talk • contribs) 17:58, 8 July 2018 (UTC)

• I see your point, and I will revert it. I thought that you were the ones with the domain. Sorry about that! RandNetter96 (Talk) (Contributions) 18:30, 8 July 2018 (UTC)

Some tools that may be helpful

Based on the conversation on ANI, here are some tools that may be helpful for you:

• The Wikipedia Adventure tutorial
• A regular tutorial or
• A page about writing better articles.

You should absolutely take a look at WP:BRD about how to peacefully engage in dialogue when you have a dispute about an edit. By the way, the steps don't have to go in that order. If you see something that you question, you can start a discussion immediately.–CaroleHenson (talk) 23:07, 11 July 2018 (UTC)

User categories

Please note that categories are not to be used for your own categorization based solely on yourself. User categories are to be used to increase collaboration around the project and are not for individuals. See WP:USERCAT. As a result I will be removing the categories you created again. Canterbury Tail talk 16:55, 12 July 2018 (UTC)

Ok, I did not know that was not allowed. RandNetter96 (Talk) (Contributions) 16:56, 12 July 2018 (UTC)

No worries. Not easy to know all the ins and outs. Canterbury Tail talk 16:57, 12 July 2018 (UTC)

1904 Olympics (Moved)

The 1904 Olympics happened 104 years ago. It's 2018. It's not "strange" to note that some facilities are still in use. It is strange to note, in 2018, that they were in use as of 2010, an arbitrary point in existence. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 207.229.174.121 (talk) 03:00, 13 July 2018 (UTC)

You inserted this into it "this moment, right now, as you read this.". That is in violation of the Manual of Style 03:03, 13 July 2018 (UTC)

Recent edits

As was discussed on my talk page, I would strongly suggest you confine your editing to articles and not issue warnings to other editors(or even seek out improper edits). I think you have good intentions but you have scared away at least one editor; once they are gone, they are hard to get back, even if you correct what you did. 331dot (talk) 08:07, 13 July 2018 (UTC)
