Greetings (---June2020---) edit

I don't use wikipedia.com as soical stuff, I use for my study and learning. But you answered my question. Thank you, Always Hamuyi (talk) 17:35, 11 June 2020 (UTC)Reply

@Hamuyi: Hey, Hamuyi,
Sorry, I totally misunderstood you, I guess I should ask for more info before spitting out answers. To answer your question, (I hope) I think there are ways you can apply to be a Teahouse manager, but i'll have to explore more before I can give you a real answer. Cheers!

Hey Sam! It's okay! Everyone makes mistakes.

Always, Hamuyi (talk) 03:05, 12 June 2020 (UTC)Reply

@Hamuyi:Yeah, everyone does make mistakes. that makes me glad for other people when they see the mistakes we make. OK, by the way I think I found it. Go here, and follow the instructions. I hope it helps. Cheers!

They have a few requirements

"You must be here for at least 30 days and made 500 maintance edits" "Must understand wikipedia FULLY"

i have to start learning and making articles, thanks for the help when I reach those requirements I will become a host!!

Your friend, Hamadi or Hamuyi (talk) 03:16, 12 June 2020 (UTC)Reply

@Hamuyi:Whewh, 500 edits in 30 days is a lot. I hope you make the cut! I don't want to be the "Old dad" at the party, but I should probably go try to make some edits. I want to help wikipedia! By the way, though, if there is anyway that I can help me, let me know here, (my talk page) and i'll try to help you! Cheers,

Okay! I will! And i edited your talk page to make it look better.

YW :D

Your pal, Hamuyi (talk) 03:24, 12 June 2020 (UTC)Reply


Two things, one, what does "YW" mean, and second, what did you do to my talk page? Just curious. Thx,

Are you back? edit

Is User:Shadowblade08 the old you?ThatMontrealIP (talk) 23:42, 11 June 2020 (UTC)Reply

@ThatMontrealIP:Yeah, Shadowblade08 used to be me. If you would let me though, I want to redo it and redo it right. I'm trying to be a good wiki user, not tear it down. Wiki is a place to learn more, it is a refuge of knowledge, and I don't want to change it. I want to help it. So, if you will, please lets not look into the troublesome past, and just focus on the feature. Thanks!

Your old account was blocked, this means you cannot create and use new accounts until the block expires.ThatMontrealIP (talk) 03:18, 12 June 2020 (UTC)Reply
@ThatMontrealIP: Really? sorry, I couldn't log into my old one, (it said that the account didn't exist) so I created a new one. If i cant use Wikipedia till the block expires, then I would, but its letting me do everything that I could do before. (editing articles, asking questions on the Teahouse, ext) Though I do suppose that i've not edited any articles, i've been learning on Wikipedia Adventure. I don't really remember when my block ended, and I don't really know how to find out, but anyhow, they blocked my IP address, not my account. Cheers,Shadowblade08.2 (talk) 03:26, 12 June 2020 (UTC)Reply
Just to be clear, you could not log in to your old account because your old account is blocked. You cannot create accounts to circumvent the block, like this account. Per Wikipedia:BLOCKEVASION, the block may become permanent.ThatMontrealIP (talk) 03:29, 12 June 2020 (UTC)Reply
And just to be super clear, if you keep editing your block may become permanent.ThatMontrealIP (talk) 03:42, 12 June 2020 (UTC)Reply
OK, i'm not exactly sure what you meant by that. Could you help? Cheers.

What sam just said, "I'm trying to be a good wiki user, not tear it down. Wiki is a place to learn more, it is a refuge of knowledge, and I don't want to change it. I want to help it. " Is true.

Sincerely, Hamuyi (talk) 03:11, 12 June 2020 (UTC)Reply

@Hamuyi:Thanks, I wish that everyone on Wikipedia acted that way. Wikipedia is not a place for vandalism. And yet, the vandalism remains. I wish that everyone wanted to help Wikipedia, not tear it down. Cheers!

Your welcome and no problemo, Hamadi or Hamuyi (talk) 03:18, 12 June 2020 (UTC)Reply

  • Shadowblade08.2 Please stop editing from this account. Please do not edit from any account (including as an IP editor) or from any computer until your block expires or is lifted. Dot edit even to acknowledge this message. Just stop. If you edit further, this account is likely to be blocked permanently. DES (talk)DESiegel Contribs 03:57, 12 June 2020 (UTC)Reply
@DESiegel: i'm sorry, but i actually have no idea about what you are talking about. Could you rephrase it so I understand? Cause currently it seems like your threatening me that if i don't stop editing, you will block me forever. Cheers,
Shadowblade08.2 (talk) 04:00, 12 June 2020 (UTC)Reply
That is exactly right. You were blocked under your previous user name. that means that YOU may not edit wikipedia, under any user name at all, while that block is in force. This is the last communication from me on the subject. DES (talk)DESiegel Contribs 04:07, 12 June 2020 (UTC)Reply

What I think he is saying is, "Please don't edi(use wikipedia.com) ever, untill your block is gone or you will be permanently be block from both accounts." Just to say again. Regrads, Hamuyi (talk) 04:09, 12 June 2020 (UTC)Reply

June 2020 edit

 
You have been blocked indefinitely from editing for abusing multiple accounts. Note that multiple accounts are allowed, but not for illegitimate reasons, and any contributions made while evading blocks or bans may be reverted or deleted.
If you think there are good reasons for being unblocked, please read the guide to appealing blocks, then add the following text below the block notice on your talk page: {{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}}.
Do not create or use any other accounts. You must wait until the block on your main account expires or until you are successful in appealing your block. Cullen328 Let's discuss it 04:14, 12 June 2020 (UTC)Reply

@Tenryuu:

 
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:

Hello, Cullen32, I just thought that it was rather odd, that i had never even made contact with you and then you blocked me indefinitely. I really don't understand why, especially because i still don't get why everyone wants to block me. I feel like everyone is just spamming me. I ask you, Cullen32, to read this, and see if it applies with why you've blocked me. Also, while your at it, please give me a solid reason why you blocked me, cause i still don't understand. The time period between when I started getting spammed, and when I got blocked was app. 5 min. according to my watch. Please tell me why, and exactly why, not just a "oh, yeah, i thought your were being mean to me so i blocked you indefinitely." Cause thats what it seems like. Also note, the reason that I created this account is that I am no longer able to access the User:Shadowblade08 Because it says that my password is invalid. I really want to help Wikipedia to be a better place, but I cant. I created this account today so that I could access Wikipedia to make it a better place. I have created this account in one day, and on the same day I have been blocked indefinitely. Whats up? Something is going on behind the scenes. Shadowblade08.2 (talk) 04:30, 12 June 2020 (UTC)Reply

Decline reason:

You've admitted this account was set up to avoid a block, so it's appropriate this account is blocked. You were violating WP:EVADE and WP:SOCK. Your excuse appears to be that you lack sufficient competence to edit here. That won't fly, that is grounds for blocking you (you, the person) indefinitely; see WP:CIR. Yamla (talk) 10:57, 12 June 2020 (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.

I blocked this account because by creating and using this account, you are attempting to evade the block on your other account, which is User:Shadowblade08. That is not permitted. I am pinging the original blocking administrator Nick Moyes and the administator who extended that block, DESiegel, and I am inviting them to comment. It is not necessary for an administrator to have had previous contact with a user to block in a case of obvious block evasion like this. You came to my attention and I blocked you.
I have blocked far more than 32 accounts. Way more. I block vandals and trolls and spammers and block evaders all the time. That is my job. Cullen328 Let's discuss it 04:47, 12 June 2020 (UTC)Reply

Sorry, i didn't know that. The reason I created this account was that I couldn't access my other account (it said my password was invalid) so i created a new account to help wikipedia be a better place. I truly thought that my block was over, and if I had understood people asking me to stop using this account, i would have listened to them. I truly didn't understand it, and to be truthful, i honestly still don't get all of it. Can we go back to the start, and see if we can find out how to access my old account? I truly don't get that part. Cheers,

@Tenryuu:

Hello Tenryuu, Could you help me figure out a way to access my old account, Shadowblade08? I tried my password something like three times and every single time it said that my password was invalid. Could you help? Thanks! Shadowblade08.2 (talk) 05:00, 12 June 2020 (UTC)Reply

Shadowblade, A block means you cannot use any Wikipedia account under any name, or any IP address, to edit Wikipedia at all until the block is over. You are currently blocked, so you cannot edit Wikiepdia until the block is over. Understand? ThatMontrealIP (talk) 05:06, 12 June 2020 (UTC)Reply
@ThatMontrealIP: Not really, but then again, its 11:07pm where I live, so i don't really get anything. I'm signing off for now, so see ya! Shadowblade08.2 (talk) 05:08, 12 June 2020 (UTC)Reply
Sharowblade, if you cannot understand the basic idea that a block from editing means you should not edit, then you should not be here, as competence is required. It cannot be put any more simply: you are blocked, do not click the edit button while blocked.ThatMontrealIP (talk) 14:04, 12 June 2020 (UTC)Reply
(edit conflict):I was on the block page, and only learned that Cullen had done a block when i clicked the block button. Shadowblade08.2, you were told, multiple times, on more than one page, by me and by ThatMontrealIP that you should stop editing at once. You kept replying, asking if we really meant it. Well we did. User talk:Shadowblade08#Account blocked shows clearly a block for two months starting on 1 May 2020 (therefore not expiring until July). Even if there was a password problem, one need not log in to read that. In short, I support the block. I might add that I block fewer accounts than many admins, but have still blocked over 200. There was nothing in any way improper about this block, and I am not seeing anything which would convince me to unblock. DES (talk)DESiegel Contribs 05:09, 12 June 2020 (UTC)Reply
I fully support the action taken today. User:Shadowblade08.2 was created to avoid a 2 month block I placed on User:Shadowblade08 (originally set to expire 12 July 2020). D E Siegel has reset that block so that it now expires on 13th August. This secondary account (User:Shadowblade08.2) should remain indefinitely blocked.
I would add that the person behind these accounts needs to grow up and recognise that the adults here can see behind all their lame excuses and pretence of incomprehension, and will not let disruption continue. Sit out the block; count yourself lucky you have not been indefinitely blocked, and when/if you return, try acting in a mature way in future. We are not a social media platform or playground for kids - we are a serious attempt to build an encyclopaedia used by the whole world. If you are unable to undertand what you're told, or cannot follow our rules, then there will be only one option left. Permanent Exclusion. You choose. Nick Moyes (talk) 09:44, 12 June 2020 (UTC)Reply
UPDATE: I have blocked access to this talk page. All unblock requests (and nothing else) should be placed on the main user account. Note that an unblock request is not going to succeed. Nick Moyes (talk) 14:33, 12 June 2020 (UTC)Reply
