Dear UspLK,

It may help you get your article on simple wiki if you first get you article on en-wiki (https://en.wikipedia.org). There are a lot of users there with a lot of experience who will help more than I can,

Blessings,

Remember to subst welcome templates[change source]

Thank you for your changes to Wikipedia, Yaakov Wa.. However, I would like to remind you that when you use certain templates, you should substitute them by adding "subst:" before the template's name. An example is, use "{{subst:uw-subst}}" instead of "{{uw-subst}}". This reduces server load and prevents accidental blanking of the template. Thank you. --Ferien (talk) 17:52, 22 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Dear Ferien,

Thanks for that information!

Blessings,

You have been blocked indefinitely from changing Wikipedia in line with Wikipedia's blocking policy for violating the one strike rule. If you think this block is unfair, you may ask to be unblocked by adding {{unblock|your reason here}} below. If you cannot do this or the reason is private, please send an e-mail to simple-admins-l@lists.wikimedia.org and an administrator will look at your reason and reply. You may want to read our guide to unblock requests before asking to be unblocked. --IWI (talk) 23:09, 22 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

This blocked user asked to be unblocked, but one or more administrators said no to this unblock request. Other administrators can also review this block, but should not unblock the user without a good reason. Do not remove this unblock review while you are blocked.

Request reason:

Have been contributing a lot. No rules broken (3RR is only for the 4th time). If you looked at that particular edit, it was precisely to address what others said about no existing account. Additionally, I admit I do rash things, but will acknowledge when I make a mistake

Decline reason:

You weren't blocked for violating 3RR. You were blocked in accordance with Simple English Wikipedia's one-strike rule (linked above in IWI's message). -- Auntof6 (talk) 02:30, 23 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Auntof6 This isn't related to the block message, not that I'm doing this, but if a user is blocked, does replacing their userpage with the blocked template do anything? --Tsugaru Let's Talk! :) 🍁 02:32, 23 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@つがる: Um, you mean other than wipe out the content of the page? I don't know. I don't know if there's a policy about that, but in any case I would rather that were left to the admins. It's better that non-admins don't do things that are or appear to be punitive. --Auntof6 (talk) 02:56, 23 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Auntof6 I meant where the page (userpage) is wiped out and replaced with the blocked template. I've seen some non-admins do this in the past before, but I usually don't do it, because I don't want to get in trouble, and as you mention, it is better for admins to do these kinds of tasks instead. --Tsugaru Let's Talk! :) 🍁 02:58, 23 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@つがる: I would guess it's to deprive the user of a presence on the wiki. If they are banned/indeffed, I guess they shouldn't be entitled to that. --Auntof6 (talk) 03:00, 23 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@つがる: it adds it to a category that allows it to be deleted after some time, at admin discretion. --IWI (talk) 09:11, 23 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
