Think for Yourselves

If you would refer to my user page, you would see me problem. I was a member several years ago, and was blocked, and also maliciously edited under my IP a little over a year ago. I feel horrible for doing this, and want to know the proper course of action to be reinstated as a member.

• Hello, and welcome back to Wikipedia,

Under ordinary circumstances, if what you say is true, then you will be probably allowed to edit constructively here. But just so we are all on the safe side, I suggest you join here to chat with other experienced wikipedians so we can look into your case, and check for the best way to move forward - #wikipedia-en-help ^connect

Hope this helps.

Blocked, with a but

Ok, I have blocked this account for the time being. While your honesty is appreciated I'm sure you understand that you were in fact evading a block. So, here is how I believe we should proceed:

• Consider this a "procedural block" not a "go away don't come back" block.
• Pick one account that you wish to use from now on.
• Only log in as that user. Ever.
• I will be opening a discussion of formally unblocking you, and I will let you know where it is as soon as it is open. Please be patient, this may take a few days.
• After reading that discussion, feel free to post anything you would like included in it here and it will be copied over for you.

Thanks so much! I have decided that I will use this account as my sole account. I thought that I was going to have to use an old one, but I'd prefer to use this current, scandal free one. I realized after actually looking through things that the creation of this account constituted block evasion. I apologize for that; I had no idea that it did when I made the account. I was merely trying to figure out the correct path forward. I intended no harm to be done. Thanks for considering my appeal, and I'll gladly do whatever steps are necessary.

I've opened that discussion at Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard#Unblock of User:Who Am I Why Am I Here. Beeblebrox (talk) 05:14, 17 June 2013 (UTC)

What do you plan to do if unblocked? --Rschen7754 07:50, 17 June 2013 (UTC)

I would probably update a lot of pages and the like about U.S. politics and politicians. I consider that my expertise, and although many of my troll posts in the past were about that, I feel that I can overcome the past and be constructive. I also consider myself to have a fairly good knowledge of various movies and TV shows, so I'm sure that I could help there, as well. I could probably help fill in some history pages, but I'd probably want to start with something less complicated.

• I seem to be having a bit of trouble clearing the autoblock that was on your IP, so you might not be able to edit right away but it will expire in a few hours. Beeblebrox (talk) 01:57, 18 June 2013 (UTC)

• Thanks so much. Don't worry about maliciousness or anything. I take it upon my honor that I won't go back to the dark side.
