2022

Well, I tried. I decided that I am exile from editing Wikipedia and move onto using Wikimedia Commons forever, where I have been creating new pages. At least, it's the alternative edit in my opinion.

Yamla (talk, can I have permission to edit https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Timmy96 and https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:Timmy96/Archive_12 because I want to write my story about editing Wikipedia. I have no intentions of creating another Wikipedia account or edit forever now. I just want to edit two personal pages of mine. Timmy96 (talk) 11:49, 23 March 2022 (UTC)

No. If you wish to be unblocked, follow the instructions at WP:GAB. Note that we won't unblock you solely to edit your user pages. --Yamla (talk) 12:04, 23 March 2022 (UTC)

Fair enough, Yamla (talk. From your perspective, I am considered irredeemable to be unblocked. 12:11, 23 March 2022 (UTC) Timmy96 (talk) 12:11, 23 March 2022 (UTC)

Well, you are certainly off to a terrible start. You've acted badly, but almost everyone, and certainly you, is eligible for the standard offer. See WP:SO. That requires six months with zero edits. --Yamla (talk) 12:19, 23 March 2022 (UTC)

Yamla (talk, Does Wikimedia Commons count, regarding of the eligibility for the standard offer? I have been editing on the website daily. Timmy96 (talk) 12:38, 23 March 2022 (UTC)

That is a different project and is not affected by your block here. Edits made there do not violate the "zero edits" on en.wiki, required for WP:SO. --Yamla (talk) 12:44, 23 March 2022 (UTC)

Yamla (talk, how long do I have to wait? My estimation is around September to October, right? Timmy96 (talk) 15:03, 23 March 2022 (UTC)

Six months from today is 2022-09-23. That assumes zero edits between now and then. --Yamla (talk) 15:20, 23 March 2022 (UTC)

Request reason:

After 68 days of being blocked, I still continue to understand why I have blocked indefinitely and there were factors to the reasons why. I evaded my own block by editing anonymously because I didn't accept that my edits were reverted, so I was willing to edit articles anonymously, knowing about the consequences I was going to face. I made a personal attack because I was critical of users's actions. But now I understood why they did it. I refused to accept the wrongdoing of my editing because I was delusional and didn't want to face reality that my articles was reverted. For that, I want to apologise for my actions and will not do it again because I should know better on dealing with the situation. I clearly saw my mistakes and vow to make improvements of my editing in the future. I will also do better next time.

Decline reason:

 Confirmed sockpuppetry and block evasion. I have upgraded your block to reflect this. Yamla (talk) 13:38, 14 March 2022 (UTC)

Block evasion continue

Your block evasion on 2022-06-20 has reset the timer for WP:SO. You are now not eligible until 2022-12-20. Knock it off, you aren't very good at this. --Yamla (talk) 11:26, 20 June 2022 (UTC)

User:Yamla: There appears to be ongoing block evasion : see this. 167.98.155.123 (talk) 07:32, 28 October 2022 (UTC)

User:Yamla, please extend my ban further for six months. I don't deserve to come back to editing Wikipedia. Life is better for me to edit Wikimedia Commons instead. Yes, I have been editing Wikipedia anonymously under this account: 2A00:23C8:899B:801:0:0:0:0/64. Timmy96 (talk) 08:22, 28 October 2022 (UTC)

You are now considered banned by community consensus as per WP:3X. --Yamla (talk) 10:35, 28 October 2022 (UTC)

User:Yamla, I shall accept and respect the ban that you imposed on me. Timmy96 (talk) 15:22, 29 October 2022 (UTC)

Request reason:

I spent six months avoid editing the English edition of Wikipedia, which has been a huge help for me because it helped me reflect and evaluate my actions. I apologise for my actions on disruptive editing, block evasion and even creating a Wikipedia account. It was a dumb and petty decision that I have done. I should have behave maturely and accept constructive criticism when my edits were reverted. Now, I deeply regretted what I did. I am genuinely remorseful and promise to every administrators that I will act very responsible as an editor next time.

Accept reason:

Unblocked as per below. Note that this is your second chance. Given how abusive you were, you almost certainly won't get a third. On the other hand, I have unblocked you because you have honestly convinced me you'll be a constructive editor going forward, so I look forward to your many edits! Yamla (talk) 11:04, 9 May 2023 (UTC)

 Highly likely block evasion, but (as this user implies) more than six months ago. Timmy, you demonstrated yourself incapable of writing about footballers appropriately. I'm willing to lift the block if you agree to a WP:TOPICBAN about footballers and if you avoid writing about yourself, as you have demonstrated here you are also incapable of doing appropriately. Let me know if that would be acceptable to you. --Yamla (talk) 10:58, 9 May 2023 (UTC)

I agree to what you have said, Yamla (talk). I will comply what you have said. Timmy96 (talk) 11:01, 9 May 2023 (UTC)

Timmy96's origin story

The beginning

On Sunday 25 March 2007, I was eleven years old when I first went on Wikipedia and it changed my life forever. I read the Wikipedia articles and found it very interesting that I go on the website on a daily basis. The first knowledge about Wikipedia was founding out that Aaliyah died six years ago after living under the rock from knowing about it. That's because I didn't use a internet when I was eleven at the time and spent most of my time, going outside. This last until I stopped hanging out with my friends because some moved away, some were bad influence on me and some were busy. From that moment, reading Wikipedia articles was very interesting for me to the point it was a hobby. I did have opinions from people around me to discourage me from using Wikipedia because it's negative reputation that still continues this day.

This further changed on 16 March 2010 when I first edited Wikipedia with this account at aged fourteen. At first, I was scared of editing Wikipedia because I thought it was illegal to edit at the time. I tried to avoid Wikipedia but ended up giving in by reading countless articles. I ocassionally edited Wikipedia from August to October. But I was very annoyed that the articles I edited ended up being placed under a different anonymous accounts. So on 31 October 2010, I created my first Wikipedia account and Timmy96 was born. When I first started editing Wikipedia, I only add minor details anything related to WWE (which I was a fan of at the time) and football. A teenager at this age at the time would be playing video games, such as, FIFA and Call of Duty. But this teenager wasn't interested because not only he received a Toshiba laptop at 14 years old, but also has Motion sickness whenever he plays video games, therefore he can never buy another video game console in his life time.

The Critcism

At the start of December, I began editing random articles when I just added words (like copying and pasting words from the website and from other language on Wikipedia pages, without using my own words), using this references as my source , not including quotation mark on copying and pasting from website, terrible sentence structure (which I still need to work, but it's not easy) and being lazy when editing a Wikipedia article. This includes the following account: 86.182.115.1, 188.221.130.13, 82.2.160.43, 86.12.165.34, 82.2.164.43 and 2.99.67.179. I continued to do the same thing when I began to edit Wikipedia, using my own account called Timmy96, starting from 10 January 2012. This continued until I noticed the criticism from other users for my poor editing. For example, this included:

•Vanished user 201913 said: "when he does he engages in WP:COPYVIO."

•Vanished user 201913 said: "says to people who warn him "I want to be blocked"" on Andrea Orlandi's article."

•Vanished user 201913 said: "Whaat? English please" on Rabiu Ibrahim's article."

• Ilikeeatingwaffles said: "Not very encyclopaedic content" on Darron Gibson's article.

• Ilikeeatingwaffles said: "rm weird conspiracy grumblings, not very encyclopaedic. Just the facts, please" on Diniyar Bilyaletdinov's article. At the time, I didn't take criticism kindly.

• Even Struway2 (talk) removed the information that he didn't like. Link But I learned from editing Wikipedia because he was the first Wikipedia user I fully understand when editing Wikipedia. He gave me instructions and told me how to edit Wikipedia. I also forgot that I learned as well from Jaellee and Quite A Character when they told me about the instructions on my talk page.

I considered Struway2 (talk) to be my unofficial mentor when it comes to editing Wikipedia and was willing to learn criticism from him. I considered him as the user who was considerate not to remove my information and instead, made changes for it. Therefore, I was willing to accept it and move on. Whenever I read the articles of Neil Danns, Daniel Crowley, Rhoys Wiggins, Jérémie Bela, Garry Bocaly, Wes Thomas and Juan Castillo, it amazes me how Struway2 (talk) was able to changes the words without removing all the references I included during the twelve years of editing.

The Exiler and Return

From June 2012 to May 2014, I decided to exiled my self from editing Wikipedia and began editing anonymously, where I have been changing my ways, such as changing words from the website to avoid copying and pasting, formatting the reference in the normal way, saving websites on Internet Wayback Machine and adding pictures on the articles. However, the constant of changing IP address and editing anonymously caused me to edit Wikipedia as a user, which I went back on 21 May 2014. From that point, I have been editing Wikipedia as a user and proved myself that I can edit Wikipedia without copying and pasting from other websites and that I was not the same Wikipedia user two years ago. As I began to edit Wikipedia as a user, I began learning on going on foreign website, which I never heard at first and since use it as a reliable source to add on that Wikipedia article I am editing to back up my reference. Not only that, I don't edit any Wikipedia articles randomly and began to choose what articles I intending to edit carefully. Most of the article I intending to edit must be the ones that I believe it should be edited and to ensure it is up to date. I then also began to expand articles with lots of literal information, as long as, the references were very reliable and backing up my information.

The Inactive and Balancer

Between 2014 and 2016, I took breaks from editing Wikipedia because I had to focus on my studies because I was a college student, trying to redeem myself in school. Yes, I was a terrible student with bad grades because I was born with autism and had learning difficulty. I hope you notice that I write bad sentence structure and grammar from your perspective, but I do know what I was writing. When I finished college in the summer of 2016, I resumed editing Wikipedia and around the same time, I started looking for a job because it was mandatory in my family. They don't want me to slack around the house, getting benefits. As I was looking for a job, I edited Wikipedia around June and November until I got a job. As a result, I put a notification on myself that I was going on and off Wikibreak. Nevertheless, I managed to combine my balances between working at my new job at the time and editing Wikipedia. I was happy with myself to edit Wikipedia when I had bad times, even through the pandemic and my own job performances.

During in which, I further learned from Liam E. Bekker when I read his edits and learned how to expand articles, which I had done from December 2017 to the point I was blocked from editing Wikipedia. I did intend on including more than one references literally or else, I feared I would never find it ever again.

The Downfall

On two separate occasions between March and May, I began noticing the articles I have been editing has been reverted. First, it started off with GiantSnowman when he removed irrelevant information, which at the time, was important on two articles: Mohammed Abu and Gregory van der Wiel. We did clash back and forth, as I reverted the information that I added, only Snowman reverted the information back to it was before until I decided to give up and move on. Link of evidence: includes Mohammed Abu's History and Gregory van der Wiel's History

On 10 October 2021, I noticed one of the articles that I edited, which was Massimo Bruno, was a reverted by Dubrain on 10 October 2021. I reverted the article back to my edit and proceeded to move on as normal. Two weeks later on 27 October 2021, another anonymous user reverted the articles of Rory Loy, Willo Flood, Jon Daly and Kelvin Etuhu back to it was before. I didn't take it very well because I felt embarrassed and underestimated to have my articles reverted by anonymous user, as in my opinion, I worked hard to find the references. This continued back and forth until I was warned by Black Kite (talk) that "Please note that further addition of large swathes of poorly written trivia will result in you being blocked." So I backed down and try again and make an improvement because I stood by the references I added. On 12 November 2021, I expanded the articles of five articles (including Michael Nelson, which I was working at the time before the articles was reverted on 27 October 2021). Unsurprisingly, anonymous user and Black Kite (talk) were not convinced and banned me from editing all the five articles for life. At the time, I did not take it well because I was very petty and tried to appeal it on four occasions, but it was unsuccessful. When it comes to Black Kite (talk), I wish I told him that we should cooperate together by helping each other with improving the articles but I realised that he wouldn't have time for me and do this by myself and that there were lots of miscommunication between us from my perspective. I want to tell him I may not be a perfect Wikipedia user that you wanted, but I am determined to edit Wikipedia because I want to do something about it and make a differences.

During my ongoing appeal, I edited Juan Castillo and Chuks Aneke, which I was notified that I was banned from editing for life by JBW (talk on 26 December 2021, which was boxing day. Both of these articles were later reverted because of my block evasion. At first, I was hurt and upset about it but then I realised I can edit another project related to Wikipedia, which was called Wikimedia Commons, which I previously added before. Since then, I have been tagging categories after categories and creating new categories, therefore I was exiled from editing Wikipedia. It did help me from forget about editing Wikipedia, though I do missed it at times because I enjoyed myself at looking at foreign websites and looking for information to back up my references. I did remind myself countless times to never come back and edit Wikipedia.

The Failed Redeemer

However, I continued to edit Wikipedia when I did created a new account under VietnamJ25 and edited on 12 March 2022 about twenty-one times. I was found out by Yamla (talk) and was banned from editing indefinitely. That when I considered that I am irredeemable on returning to edit Wikipedia on my account and now aware that I have to wait for another six months under the WP:SO, which will be on 20 December 2022 (which was written on 20 June 2022). If only I was aware of it had JBW (talk) told me on my talk page.

When I am aware about editing Wikipedia in late-May by clicking Contributions (presumably because of the internet broadband being switched off, just my theory), I took advantage of the situation and decided to edit Wikipedia articles again because it felt so good to do that. Whenever I edited Wikipedia, the anonymous account goes under the name 2A00:23C8:898A:AD01:0:0:0:0/64. Once again, the articles were reverted. I realised that it's time to give up on trying to re-editing back the six articles: Rory Loy, Willo Flood, Jon Daly, Kelvin Etuhu, Michael Nelson and Chuks Aneke. I wish every day that Struway2 (talk) would be able to edit these articles and changes the words without removing all the references I included, so I can live in peace and will never touch these articles ever again as an anonymous user. Struway2 is the only Wikipedia user I trusted during my 12 years of editing Wikipedia.

After Yamla gave me a warning on 20 June 2022, I said to myself I would not edit an article and would go to the Wikimedia Commons for six months. However, I broke my promise because my new Wikipedia edits was to add pictures. But then, I decided to edit the three articles that was reverted by Black Kite. I spent months on analysing Black Kite's Wikipedia activities. When I edited Michael Nelson on 1 June 2022 and then the second time on 8 June 2022 before the second one was reverted, I noticed that Black Kite didn't revert the first one and it will stay like forever because another Wikipedia user added another information about him. It made me realised that if I edit a Wikipedia article first and then another Wikipedia user edit shortly after, the information I added would not be reverted. It was that moment that I decided to edit Chuks Aneke. But to do that, I needed to wait for months to edit his article. By this time, I accepted that I will never edit Wikipedia as Timmy96 ever again because I broke the rules and my own promises and was planning to tell Yamla should I met the six months requirement of not editing on 20 December 2022.

On 17 October 2022, I edited Chuks Aneke's article with the information of references added and then SKennedy157 edit Aneke's article shortly after. Therefore, no users would ever try to revert my edits if another Wikipedia user edit shortly after. This was a success for 11 days until 167.98.155.123 was able to revert my edits on Chuks Aneke's article and SKennedy157 edits remained unaffected. Then, I confessed my actions to Yamla, asking him to ban me further because I don't deserve to "edit Wikipedia and that life is better for me to edit Wikimedia Commons instead. Yes, I have been editing Wikipedia anonymously under this account: 2A00:23C8:899B:801:0:0:0:0/64". Yamla responded by saying that I "am now considered banned by community consensus as per WP:3X". The next day on 29 October 2022, I responded by respecting his decision. Yamla then reverted some of the edits that I done as an anonymous user. But at the same time, I noticed that he didn't revert other articles because other users edited Wikipedia articles shortly after before he got the chance to revert it.
