May 2019[change source]

Hello, Jon698. It looks like an article you created was derived from the English Wikipedia or another version of Wikipedia. If that is indeed the case, please make sure you add some form of attribution, either in your change summary or on the article's talk page. This must be done, even for derivative works, or the article will be deleted in time. More instructions on how to do this are at Wikipedia:Transwiki attribution. Thank you.

Request reason:

I just want to know what specific rule I broke. I suspect that it is for copying from English Wikipedia, but I removed it and according to https://simple.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Blocks_and_bans#Reciprocal, which was the only stated reason for the block, states "This is often called the "one-strike" rule. It is made to stop disruptive users, who have a history of making bad changes, from disrupting this project." I wasn't block on English Wikipedia for disruptive editing and according to Scott Burley "...it looks like you've made some really significant contributions to the project and it would be a shame to lose you as an editor."

Decline reason:

reason As Djsasso has stated being a Sock puppeteer is classified as disruptive editing, as such until such time as you resolve your issues on En.wiki you will likely stay blocked here-- Enfcer (talk) 00:57, 26 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I would point out you were blocked for sock puppeting which is disruptive. You have two accounts here, atleast one of which was undeclared, and you have been copying from en.wiki without attribution which is disruptive. And one strike is just that, doesn't matter how minor the infraction, once you have done it you get blocked until you clear up the situation at the original wiki. Also appears you are only using our wiki to proxy articles to en.wiki which would also be disruptive. -DJSasso (talk) 13:57, 22 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Request reason:

I have been unblocked from normal Wikipedia so according to "once you have done it you get blocked until you clear up the situation at the original wiki" I should be unblocked.

Decline reason:

I belive the comments below shows a pattern of disruptive / dis-respectfulness. -- Enfcer (talk) 19:47, 16 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I already know why I was blocked in the first place that was the entire point of the previous unblock request. -- Jon698 Talk 02:27, 9 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Not sure who you're quoting in that, but pinging Djsasso to review the request. Vermont (talk) 12:28, 10 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

You people are so annoying and inconsistent. The only information I was given as to an unblock here was to clear it up on English Wikipedia. For Vermont just scroll up and you will see the part fromDjasso that I am quoting. -- Jon698 Talk 12:41, 10 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

My comment was that you won't at all be unblocked here as long as you are blocked there. But that does not mean that you will be unblocked here. You were also disruptive here. That is a completely separate matter. My point was that you cannot be unblocked while you were still blocked at en.wiki. But that does not mean that you will be unblocked here automatically because you were unblocked there. I do not however stand in the way of an admin unblocking you should they feel that is the prudent route to go. -DJSasso (talk) 16:46, 10 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Unblock[change source]

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.

Jon698 (contribs · deleted contribs · block log · filter log · global contribs)

Request reason:

I am seeking an unblock on Simple Wikipedia because due to the block I cannot renew my free subscription to Newspapers.com through the Wikipedia Library Card Platform. Since being unblocked on normal Wikipedia in November 2019 I have gotten multiple GAs, DYKs, and contributed positively to Wikipedia. I have also made no attempts to get around my block on Simple Wikipedia. I don't want to edit on Simple Wikipedia.

Decline reason:

I am declining because you must address the reasons for the original block and show that you understand why you were blocked and will not do it again. Asking unblock because you want the Library Card subscription does not inspire enough confidence in my view that this disruption will not happen again, despite the fact that you say you do not wish to edit here and have edited positively on enwiki. This is particularly true when part of the reason you were blocked originally here was sockpuppetry. --IWI (talk) 21:27, 27 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@ImprovedWikiImprovement: What do you mean? I understand why I was blocked and I haven't violated any rules since I was blocked. Isn't that reason to be confident? I have also contributed positively to the Wikipedia that I was originally blocked from after being unblocked. If you unblock me here than I can contribute positively more to Wikipedia, but if you keep me blocked then I won't be able to contribute through the addition of people who only sources come from newspapers. Jon698 (talk) 22:09, 27 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
You haven't shown in the above unblock request that you do understand why you were blocked and that you won't do it again. It's not good enough to simply say you understand nor is it good enough that you simply haven't evaded the block; you must convince administrators that the disruption that led to the original block will not be repeated. As stated above below a previous unblock request, being unblocked on the English Wikipedia does not guarantee unblock here if you are unable to convince us you will not disrupt this wiki again. Please take a look at WP:Guide to appealing blocks for more information. Best, --IWI (talk) 22:53, 27 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
@ImprovedWikiImprovement: I still don't understand your point. I know why I was blocked. I was copying without attribution and because I was blocked on English Wikipedia the one strike rule was used here. Jon698 (talk) 22:58, 27 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

IWI believes that this is not the case because you have not shown in your above unblock request that you understand what you were blocked for. That is not a good enough reason to be unblocked here, even if you were unblocked on enwiki. RPBG 💬 🖊 23:04, 27 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

? But I do understand why I was blocked. Jon698 (talk) 23:06, 27 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Plus, it will not convince the blocking admin or any others. You must give an explanation in your reason in order for unblock to be warranted. RPBG 💬 🖊 23:07, 27 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I know and believe that you know and understand why you were blocked, but you haven’t shown that you do in the unblock request, and that is why IWI decided not to unblock you. RPBG 💬 🖊 23:09, 27 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

None of you guys are making any sense. What am I suppose to do? Jon698 (talk) 23:10, 27 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Please read the guide to appealing blocks. It explains what you should do to convince ImprovedWikiImprovement or any other admin to unblock you. Best, RPBG 💬 🖊 23:17, 27 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I already did and you guys rejected it. Jon698 (talk) 23:20, 27 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I’m not an admin here, but please believe me when I’m informing you that making more unblock requests that include statements that do not convince administrators to unblock you will make the situation you are in now worse. RPBG 💬 🖊 23:23, 27 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@RPBG: Please refrain from commenting here further. I appreciate you are doing so in good faith, but you are making this unblock request more difficult for administrators to handle. --IWI (talk) 23:32, 27 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Unblock[change source]

Request reason(s):
I was copying without attribution and because I was blocked on English Wikipedia the one strike rule was used here. I have violated none of the rules since the block. Can I get unblocked?

Your request to be unblocked has been granted for the following reason(s):
Yep sure. To note, it is generally recommended that, in unblock requests, you explain how your pattern of behavior has changed since your block to assure the community that you will not continue to engage in the same behavior that warranted the block in the first place. Considering your block is over a handful of A3s back in mid 2019, and since then you have been unblocked on the English Wikipedia where you have been constructively editing, I see no reason to keep you blocked here. Best regards, Vermont (talk) 23:44, 27 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@ImprovedWikiImprovement:

Per WP:DENY, I will not be discussing with you now. Best regards, RPBG 💬 🖊 23:29, 27 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

What? I'm literally doing what you said. Jon698 (talk) 23:31, 27 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I know and thank you, but I’m not telling you off or anything like that. RPBG 💬 🖊 23:33, 27 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

(change conflict) Yeah I'm not sure why DENY is being linked here. The comments from the user above are not helpful. --IWI (talk) 23:34, 27 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@ImprovedWikiImprovement: Ok, sorry. I’ll stop then. Best regards, RPBG 💬 🖊 23:34, 27 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
