Block

Hi. I blocked you based on Special:Diff/7249196, which matches the edits of an LTA. However, since you have made a load of other good edits here, as well as some on the English Wikipedia, I was wondering: did someone email you asking you to make that edit? If so, my apologies for assuming you were that LTA. Thanks, --DannyS712 (talk) 00:26, 4 January 2021 (UTC)

Adding a bit more context. The person who probably emailed you has been harassing Wikipedia editors for over 10 years, including attempts at doxxing and death threats. He is also banned by the Wikimedia Foundation. His name is public information and he has no expectation or right of privacy, especially considering it is he who made his name publicly known. He emails dozens of random users asking them to remove his name, and it is thus probable that, at some point, an editor would believe his emails and remove his name.

Yes, I got an email from larosvetitelj. Sorry about that. I didn't think. ChessEvan4 (talk) 02:08, 4 January 2021 (UTC)

@ChessEvan4 in that case, I'm sorry for blocking you, and thank you for explaining. You had no way of knowing that the email was from a banned user. I hope you'll continue to contribute! Happy new year, --DannyS712 (talk) 02:36, 4 January 2021 (UTC)

No worries, thank you for keeping Wikipedia a good environment for everyone here :) ChessEvan4 (talk) 04:34, 4 January 2021 (UTC)

I would like to block the user that harassed. Is there a way I can do that, so they can't bother me anymore? ChessEvan4 (talk) 18:13, 6 January 2021 (UTC)

Unfortunately there is no real way to do that as far as I know. All you can do is revert and ignore for now. --

I've protected this page for a bit so that only ips and new accounts can't edit it, hopefully that will help --DannyS712 (talk) 22:34, 6 January 2021 (UTC)

There is no way for you to block users, because only Admins, can. Basically, a block, means that the user cannot edit. What DannyS712 did is protect your page, and that is the closest to 'blocking' we can get. --Tsugaru Let's Talk! :) 🍁 02:22, 7 January 2021 (UTC)

Is there a way to stop him from contacting me via email? ChessEvan4 (talk) 02:52, 7 January 2021 (UTC)

I've asked for a way to do this, In the meantime, just delete/ignore the emails. When we have a way, I'll let you know :) --Tsugaru Let's Talk! :) 🍁 02:54, 7 January 2021 (UTC)

here's how to enable the option you requested for --Tsugaru Let's Talk! :) 🍁 00:45, 14 January 2021 (UTC)
