June 2023

We like and strongly encourage helpful changes to Wikipedia, but an article you created was directly copied and pasted from the main English Wikipedia. Please do not do that. Such articles are usually too complex. They need to be simplified before or immediately after being added to the Simple English Wikipedia. In addition, be sure to include attribution on the article's talk page. Thank you. Lights and freedom (talk) 17:40, 16 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you, that makes a lot more sense. Contributor 118,784 (talk) 19:10, 16 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Your recent changes are vandalism and are not acceptable on any Wikipedia. Please stop. If you continue to vandalize, you may be blocked from changing pages on Wikipedia. Operator873 connect 19:01, 16 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

What recent changes? Contributor 118,784 (talk) 15:00, 17 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I think it wasn't really vandalism. They just meant that you should stop copying pages directly from en.wikipedia.org to here. Lights and freedom (talk) 20:06, 17 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Tips
  • Don't be afraid to edit! Just find something that can be improved and make it better. Other editors will help fix any mistakes you make.
  • It's normal to feel a little overwhelmed, but don't worry if you don't understand everything at first—it's fine to edit using common sense.
  • If an edit you make is reverted, you can discuss the issue at the article's talk page. Be civil, and don't restore the edit unless there is consensus.
  • Always use edit summaries to explain your changes.
  • When adding new content to an article, always include a citation to a reliable source.
  • If you wish to edit about a subject with which you are affiliated, read our conflict of interest guide and disclose your connection.
  • Have fun! Your presence in the Wikipedia community is welcome.

Happy editing! Cheers, your pal Contributor 118,784.

SYSOPS: THIS IS SO I CAN WELCOME NEW PEOPLE) Contributor 118,784 (talk) 16:16, 17 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Some notes

Hello. I am Bobherry. I have been here for a while and wanted to formally welcome you and inform you of a few rules we have on the Simple English Wikipedia. Firstly I noticed you mentioned on your user page that you are blocked on the enwiki. I looked and noticed it was indef. Be aware we have a rule here called the WP:ONESTRIKE rule. I HIGHLY recommend reading that as soon as you can. However, I also noticed you are working to get it overturned over there. Be aware of the rule. Also, I just redirected one of your articles due to it already existing under a proper name. Be sure when you create an article to look for several possible names it could be under. I am going to formally welcome you so you get the links of various policies. Also, I noticed you mentioned above you were interested in welcoming people. Do note that many of our policies are different but some do fall back on enwiki and names may be different of stuff. I recommend trying out WP:TWINKLE which gives autoconfirmed users the ability to welcome people and more very quickly. If you have any questions feel free to leave me a message on my talkpage. Thank you. Bobherry Talk My Changes 01:15, 19 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Quick deletion of Pleasant Grove Baptist Church

The page you wrote, Pleasant Grove Baptist Church, has been selected for quick deletion. If you think this page should be kept, please add {{wait}} below the line {{QD}} and say why on the talk page. If the page is already gone, but you think this was an error, you can ask for it to be undeleted. You can find more information about the reason here. Illusion Flame (talk) 14:17, 19 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

You have been blocked indefinitely from changing Wikipedia in line with Wikipedia's blocking policy for making bad changes over and over again. 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. — *Fehufangą ♮ ✉ Talk page 14:32, 19 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
{{unblock|I do not see how a church article would constitute a ban. Please advise.}} Contributor 118,784 (talk) 17:12, 19 June 2023 (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:

I do not see how a church article would constitute a ban. Please advise.

Decline reason:

I think the interaction below shows exactly why you were blocked. In order to be unblocked, you must persuade the reviewing administrator that the block is no longer needed because you understand why you were blocked, will not continue to damage or disrupt Wikipedia, and will make helpful changes instead. If you are unable to understand why you were blocked in the first place, then you are unable to be unblocked. --Ferien (talk) 17:00, 20 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Contributor 118,784 (talk) 17:12, 19 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I blocked you not because you wanted created an article about a church. I blocked you because you did not listen to other people's advice and warnings given on your talk page. — *Fehufangą ♮ ✉ Talk page 10:28, 20 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Are church articles banned here? Contributor 118,784 (talk) 10:45, 20 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
@Ferien || I don't see any warnings on my talk page that I didn't listen to. Contributor 118,784 (talk) 11:58, 21 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Despite being informed of the one-strike rule and previous warnings, you continued to create bad pages such as Pleasant Grove Baptist Church. That shows you didn't listen to the warnings on your talk page. --Ferien (talk) 15:36, 21 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
How was it a bad page? It was an article about my local church... Contributor 118,784 (talk) 15:57, 21 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
It seems you hadn't realised that the page was a draft. Contributor 118,784 (talk) 16:02, 21 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
@Ferien || You forget about this conversation?? Contributor 118,784 (talk) 17:58, 22 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
The page wasn't a draft, it was in the main namespace and said "aaa". No I didn't forget about the conversation, I just didn't answer because that has already been addressed and pointed out by another admin in your email to the admins mailing list, that you sent after you replied to my last message here. --Ferien (talk) 18:35, 22 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I can see why you think that. I was unable to use the visual editor, and so I put a placeholder text, (the 'aaa',) and after I did that, I was able to use the visual editor, and so I went along my merry way, editing peacefully, until you stopped me.

Request reason:

I was unable to use the visual editor, and so I put a placeholder text, (the 'aaa',) and after I did that, I was able to use the visual editor, and so I went along my merry way, editing as usual, until I was blocked. You can see the logs for PGBC if you please. I apologize for the misunderstanding that the 'aaa' had caused. Contributor 118,784 (talk) 18:51, 23 June 2023 (UTC)

Decline reason:

For some reason, this account has been locked, despite a previous decline at SRG. I'm going to personally ask to get this account unlocked, because I believe a global lock is inappropriate here, however it does mean that it is impossible for your appeal to be accepted, as it would have no impact on your ability to edit here. --Ferien (talk) 20:55, 25 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Contributor 118,784 (talk) 18:51, 23 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

It glitched, tho my appeal reason was: I was unable to use the visual editor, and so I put a placeholder text, (the 'aaa',) and after I did that, I was able to use the visual editor, and so I went along my merry way, editing peacefully as usual until I was blocked. Contributor 118,784 (talk) 18:52, 23 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Further note: I apologize for the misunderstanding that the 'aaa' had caused. Contributor 118,784 (talk) 19:00, 23 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I've fixed your unblock request and added the "further note" into it as well. You can make further adjustments to it should you wish to. I am not reviewing this second request as I have already reviewed your other unblock request. --Ferien (talk) 19:08, 24 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you, Ferien. If you were another admin, would you accept or deny it? Contributor 118,784 (talk) 12:33, 25 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I think there were other issues at hand other than that one church article, such as you copying articles from enwiki, despite multiple warnings. As Fehufanga says above, I blocked you not because you wanted created an article about a church. I blocked you because you did not listen to other people's advice and warnings given on your talk page. He did not block you just for that one page. --Ferien (talk) 12:41, 25 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you. Contributor 118,784 (talk) 12:59, 25 June 2023 (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.

Contributor_118,784/Archive_1 (contribs · deleted contribs · block log · filter log · global contribs)

Request reason:

In addition to the appeal above, I would like to apologize for my behavior in regards to failing to comply with warnings given on my talk page. From now on, I will take warnings seriously. Thank you.

Decline reason:

Please see above. --Ferien (talk) 20:55, 25 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Contributor 118,784 (talk) 00:28, 28 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I noticed you created, or are claimed to have created Contributor Il8,784. You should not be creating doppelganger accounts while you are blocked on your main. If you did not create that account, please let us know so stewards can lock it as impersonation. --Ferien (talk) 15:58, 8 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Oh. You can go ahead and close it, that was me. Contributor 118,784 (talk) 16:00, 8 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

 too long of a thread Contributor 118,784 (talk) 16:08, 8 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
@Ferien
Do you know when my block will be reviewed? I posted it more than a week ago. Thanks, Contributor 118,784 (talk) 18:16, 8 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
It just depends on when another admin decides to review it. I can't tell you when your block will be reviewed because I don't know when another admin will decide to review it. --Ferien (talk) 18:18, 8 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Contributor 118,784, I agree with Ferien over here. Whatever you do, please do not use that account to edit enwiki nor use it on enwiki. That would be counted as Block Evasion/Sock puppetry as you are making an account to circumvent your indefinite block. Blocked users are not supposed to create new accounts on wikis they are blocked in, even if the purpose is in good faith (e.g. stopping impersonation). I am not going advocate the enforcement of additional sanctions against you this time, but be warned that the next time you attempt to evade your indefinite block (intentionally or unintentionally) you may face further sanctions for disruption. Again, please refrain from making doppelgangers for use on wikis you are indefinitely blocked on; that is sockpuppetry even if it is unintentional.
Also, if you want to edit enwiki or simplewiki again, please attempt to make constructive contributions on another Wikimedia sister project (e.g. Wikimedia Commons, Wikibooks, Wikiquote, Wikisource, Wikidata etc.) for a significant period of time, preferably about 6 months. Then, you can request an unblock on the wiki you are blocked on and use these constructive contributions as evidence to show that you have the ability to contribute constructively. Alternatively, you can just walk away from your computer and take a break from Wikipedia for a while when you are blocked and focus on other hobbies you are interested in, then return to Wikipedia when you are confident that you will not repeat the same mistakes again. Or you can take up editing Fandom or Miraheze instead of Wikipedia, if you wish to.
If you have any other questions, I will be happy to answer them. Feel free to message me on your talk page or my Discord DMs anytime.
All the best, Prodraxis (talk) 02:15, 9 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I agree with the others. You were warned about ONESTRIKE. Be sure to read the policy on block evasion/sock puppetry. Bobherry Talk My Changes 02:19, 9 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I will. Depending on how things go, I may retire from editing. Contributor 118,784 (talk) 18:08, 16 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
You know what, there has to be something else that I can do. Right? Contributor 118,784 (talk) 18:03, 17 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Nevermind. I'm just gonna work on myself.
seeya! Contributor 118,784 (talk) 18:34, 17 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Following on from my message above, this account has now been unlocked again, and any appeal can be done here when you are ready to return to editing - preferably about 6 months. --Ferien (talk) 19:57, 26 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Oh God, thank you. See you then! Contributor 118,784 /// talk /// contribs 17:35, 29 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Actually, I have a question. If I own and contribute to my own wiki,would that count as contributing? Contributor 118,784 (talk) (contribs) 22:03, 29 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
A Miraheze wiki is a separate Wiki from the Simple English Wikipedia and other Wikimedia projects. I'm not sure why you're asking about your contributions there. — *Fehufangą ♮ ✉ Talk page 22:06, 29 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I just thought that it could kinda count separately. I really am trying. Contributor 118,784 (talk) (contribs) 22:21, 29 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Well, let me make this clear then: You are blocked on the Simple English Wikipedia, German Wikipedia and the English Wikipedias. You may not contribute to those two Wikipedias while you are blocked, with this account or with a sockpuppet. Doing so will hurt your future unblock requests. You may edit other Wikimedia projects where you are not blocked, and I expect that you at least do this to demonstrate that you can contribute constructively on a Wikimedia projects. I will not consider your contributions from Miraheze towards an unblock request. — *Fehufangą ♮ ✉ Talk page 00:55, 30 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you. Contributor 118,784 (talk) (contribs) 02:03, 30 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Note: I'm probably going to appeal my Enwiki account December 23rd and abandon Simplewiki. Contributor 118,784 (talk) (contribs) 18:09, 30 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Commons

Just uploaded tons of images to Commons, just logging this as proof of contribution. Contributor 118,784 (talk) (contribs) 17:24, 4 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Do you actually have permission to upload those images? They look like they might be copyrighted. Kk.urban (talk) 01:44, 6 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I found them online, they seem to be alright. Contributor 118,784 (talk) (contribs) 02:16, 6 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
You can't just upload anything you want. Most images online are copyrighted and not allowed on Commons. See Commons:Commons:Licensing Kk.urban (talk) 02:44, 6 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I mean, they're pictures of bowling pins. I think they're good, no takedown requests have been submitted. Contributor 118,784 (talk) (contribs) 03:01, 6 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Editors have advised you to take a six-month break from this project before you make an unblock request. Yet you have already made one more unblock request in less than two weeks since Ferien recommended that to you. I will not review the unblock, but I will let you know that if you continue to make bad unblock requests, your access to this talk page may be revoked. Consider taking that six-month break. You will have enough time to think through your unblock request and show your competence in another Wikimedia project. — *Fehufangą ♮ ✉ Talk page 03:44, 6 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Yeah. I just feel like a six-month break is extremely long. Contributor 118,784 (talk) (contribs) 12:28, 6 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I mean, by that time I'll be able to appeal my Enwiki block. Contributor 118,784 (talk) (contribs) 12:30, 6 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I want to contribute to Simple Wikipedia, I really do. Contributor 118,784 (talk) (contribs) 13:07, 9 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I will note that previously, with "one-strike" blocks, other admins have said to get unblocked at enwiki first. It's not something I recall saying before or something any admin has said in this situation, however it might be something to keep in mind, as it has been less than 2 months since you were originally blocked here. --Ferien (talk) 13:40, 11 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I'm aware. I just have so many plans to improve Simple Wikipedia. Could you just give me enough rope? Contributor118,784 Let's talk 14:24, 11 August 2023 (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.

Second chance

I read that on Enwiki, a user could get a second chance by making an article and posting it on their talk page. Could I do that too, to prove myself to you guys? I've been working on one that I think would be worthy of a Simple Wikipedia page. Contributor 118,784 (talk) (contribs) 15:05, 9 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

If you want, I can publish it here. Alternatively, you can view the article at this link.Contributor 118,784 (talk) (contribs) 14:05, 10 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I haven't seen that done here before, but as far as I'm aware, it is usually done on enwiki following the "standard offer" – that is not editing the project at all for 6 months, then appealing./ --Ferien (talk) 13:35, 11 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
That's not what it says on the template. :/ Contributor118,784 Let's talk 14:25, 11 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
They may occasionally do it before 6 months, however w:Template:2nd chance says that This unblock request has been declined due to your history of vandalism and/or disruption to this encyclopedia. This indicates to me that it is intended for people who have been disruptive for a longer period of time than you were. --Ferien (talk) 14:45, 11 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Please sir, could you just give me a second chance? I swear to you that you won't regret it. Contributor118,784 Let's talk 15:42, 11 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
As I have said already, I have already reviewed an unblock request, and asked for you to be globally unlocked and unblocked on meta as I thought these actions were excessive, so I feel it would be best for another administrator to review the situation. --Ferien (talk) 16:00, 11 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Right. Do you know how long it might take for another admin to review the request? Contributor118,784 Let's talk 16:37, 11 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
No, I don't know. It just depends on whether another admin is willing to check it. --Ferien (talk) 21:50, 11 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks for all your help Ferien. I really appreciate you and what you do to protect Simple Wikipedia. Contributor118,784 Let's talk 00:12, 12 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

RfD nomination of Duke University Health System

An editor has requested deletion of Duke University Health System, a page you created. We appreciate your changes, but the nominator doesn't believe that the article meets Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion and has explained why in the nomination (see also "What Wikipedia is not").

Please comment on the discussion by adding your comments at Wikipedia:Requests for deletion/Requests/2023/Duke University Health System and please be sure to sign your comments with four tildes (~~~~).

You may also change the article during the discussion to address the nominator's concerns. But you should not remove the requests for deletion template from the top of the article; such removal will not end the deletion debate. Thank you very much.
