Pkbwcgs is taking a short wikibreak and will be back on Wikipedia soon.

WP:ONESTRIKE

Firstly, WP:ONESTRIKE is for banned users according to the English Wikipedia. See the difference between blocks and bans. On the English Wikipedia, my talk page (located here) does not have a single comment saying that I am banned from editing. I was only blocked indefinitely. If I am actually banned from editing, I wouldn't be able to change my talk page at all but I am able to change my talk page on the English Wikipedia. Pkbwcgs (talk) 18:48, 22 January 2017 (UTC)

I wasn't damaging Wikipedia. If I was damaging Wikipedia, I would be vandalsing it. I learnt my lesson on vandalism and I will never vandalise Wikipedia ever again. Secondly, I am willing to edit in the future. Pkbwcgs (talk) 17:00, 23 January 2017 (UTC)

email this user

Where is the email this user button on a user talk page? I couldn't find it on the sidebar. Pkbwcgs (talk) 16:31, 19 January 2017 (UTC)

It is in the section labelled "Tools". It's only there if the user allows email from other users. --Auntof6 (talk) 18:35, 19 January 2017 (UTC)

Also, you have to be on the user page or user talk page of the person you want to email. --Auntof6 (talk) 18:47, 19 January 2017 (UTC)

I can't find the tools section. Pkbwcgs (talk) 19:08, 19 January 2017 (UTC)

I would like to start a discussion on IRC about this block. Is it possible? Pkbwcgs (talk) 19:13, 19 January 2017 (UTC)

I really want to be unblocked. There is some important vandalism right now that I need to revert. Pkbwcgs (talk) 19:49, 19 January 2017 (UTC)

Any discussion on IRC would have no effect on the block, because it would need to be on-wiki before it was taken into account. As long as you can still edit your talk page, the same goes for email (we got the email you sent to the admins' mailing list). --Auntof6 (talk) 20:02, 19 January 2017 (UTC)

When will I be unblocked? I definitely did nothing wrong and I was blocked indefinitely. Pkbwcgs (talk) 20:04, 19 January 2017 (UTC)

Blocks and Bans

{{helpme}} Does my block count as a block or a ban? Pkbwcgs (talk) 21:17, 19 January 2017 (UTC)

A block. Bans are decided by community vote, which didn't happen in your case. --Auntof6 (talk) 00:10, 21 February 2017 (UTC)

Request

Could you please delete my talk page. Pkbwcgs (talk) 20:02, 17 January 2017 (UTC)

I'm sorry, but we do not delete user talk pages. If you want, you could move the sections that are not about active restrictions to an archive. You could do that manually, if your block allows it, or by using the automated archive process. --Auntof6 (talk) 20:10, 17 January 2017 (UTC)

Templates moved from template space to user space

Hi, Pkbwcgs. I noticed that some user templates that you created were moved to your userspace. Since they weren't patrolled before being moved, they are stuck in the new templates list as unpatrolled. I am going to try to get them unstuck by deleting them and then restoring them. I just wanted to let you know so that you didn't think I was permanently deleting them. Let me know if you have any questions. --Auntof6 (talk) 06:25, 18 January 2017 (UTC)

Archiving

How do I archive my talk page? Pkbwcgs (talk) 18:12, 20 January 2017 (UTC)

By moving the content to a separate page in your userspace. You could do that manually, or you could use the automated process that keeps it cleaned up for you. Just remember that you can't archive sections that are about current restrictions, such as your block. Using the automated process requires adding some code to the top of the talk page. Documentation for the bot that does the archiving is shown at User:MiszaBot/config. If you're having trouble figuring out how to set it up, I could add some basic code for you. The archiving is done about once a day, not immediately when you add this code.

Be aware that, just like we don't delete user talk pages, we also don't delete archives of user talk pages. --Auntof6 (talk) 19:06, 20 January 2017 (UTC)

I'm sorry about messing up your user name in my reply. It wasn't vandalism. Sometimes I accidentally touch characters I don't mean to when working on my tablet. --Auntof6 (talk) 19:24, 20 January 2017 (UTC)

I know it was an accident. Everyone makes mistakes. Pkbwcgs (talk) 19:27, 20 January 2017 (UTC)

then why did you call it vandalism? You're saying you want to be unblocked so you can fight vandalism, but here you are calling something vandalism that you yourself admit was an "accident" and a "mistake". Only (talk) 21:14, 20 January 2017 (UTC)

I accidently called it vandalism in the edit summary but I didn't mean it seriously. I did a big clean up which involved removing a lot of stuff (if you see in my talk page history). I made a mistake. Pkbwcgs (talk) 21:19, 20 January 2017 (UTC)

I don't see how your clean up of your talk page led to you "accidentally" calling it vandalism considering the "vandalism" edit summary was one single edit 5 minutes after Auntof6's edit. It wasn't part of your other clean ups. Only (talk) 21:58, 20 January 2017 (UTC)

Sometimes mistakes happen. If I think it is vandalism, I will remove it but I thought a another IP address messed up my signature. I didn't view the editing history at all. I thought there was something wrong with my signature so I removed it. Pkbwcgs (talk) 17:54, 21 January 2017 (UTC)

Indefinite Block

Another question, does an indefinite block mean that the block's duration is forever? I don't agree to the block duration. Pkbwcgs (talk) 19:16, 20 January 2017 (UTC)

Yes, that's what it means: forever unless you get unblocked.

At this time, you need to wait for an admin to respond to your unblock request. If you keep using the helpme template, that will be seen as disruptive and you may lose your ability to edit your talk page. --Auntof6 (talk) 19:27, 20 January 2017 (UTC)

95.246.123.80

This user vandalised my talk page and harassed me by posting inappropriate comments. This is the second time it is happening and I am fed up of this. Could you please semi-protect my page for a day to stop this from happening. Also, I am currently blocked so I can't report this user on the vandalism in progress page. Pkbwcgs (talk) 17:17, 23 January 2017 (UTC)

This user is still vandalising my talk page, even after a 31-hour block. Pkbwcgs (talk) 19:47, 27 January 2017 (UTC)

Archiving parameters

Pkbwcgs, I added the minthreadsleft parameter to the archiving template here to try to stop the archive from archiving sections related to your current block. (You are not allowed to remove sections related to current restrictions.) If the archive archives anything about your restrictions, then that change will be undone and the archive will have to be disabled. --Auntof6 (talk) 19:54, 27 January 2017 (UTC)

At the moment, the archiving is somehow not working and nothing is being archived. Do you know what is the problem? Pkbwcgs (talk) 20:10, 27 January 2017 (UTC)

I added the minthreadsleft parameter again. Pkbwcgs (talk) 20:16, 27 January 2017 (UTC)

I think it's working according to the parameters. What did you think it should do that it wasn't doing? It won't archive everything. You might want to read the documentation at the template to understand how it works. The parameter I added which you removed was to leave at least 15 sections on the page. That's more than usual, but you have to leave the sections that address your block. In any case, while you are blocked, you shouldn't be worrying about this. --Auntof6 (talk) 20:21, 27 January 2017 (UTC)

Block

As I have been active on Wikimedia Commons and my behaviour has improved on all other Wikis. I think now is the time this seven months old block ends. I have recently taken up being autopatroller on Wikimedia Commons and I had no complaints from any other editors about my edits. I would like to be unblocked in order to continue editing other articles and make new articles about trains. I have learnt a lot since my block and my deletion requests are no longer unconvincing and are successful. I also learnt a lot of new policies in Simple English Wikipedia and Wikimedia Commons and re-read the deletion policy multiple times. Therefore, I would like to ask politely to please unblock my account and I promise I won't ever misbehave on this Wiki ever again. I am also willing to not retire and I want to come back to editing on this Wiki. Thank you very much. Pkbwcgs (talk) 11:46, 11 August 2017 (UTC)

Since this is a "one strike" block, we usually look to see you unblocked on your other project before we consider unblock here. So if you get unblocked at the English Wikipedia, then we'd consider your unblock here. Only (talk) 12:21, 11 August 2017 (UTC)

I don't think I will ever get unblock on English Wikipedia. I haven't made an unblock request yet but I don't think there is any chance I will be unblocked on English Wikipedia. Pkbwcgs (talk) 12:24, 11 August 2017 (UTC)

Why don't you think you'll ever been unblocked there? And why do you think you have a "better shot" here? Only (talk) 12:37, 11 August 2017 (UTC)

English Wikipedia will consider my block here and they will not unblock me at all. Pkbwcgs (talk) 12:40, 11 August 2017 (UTC)

I have tried requesting unblock on English Wikipedia's IRC channel but there was no response. It sounds like I have no more hope of getting unblocked on English Wikipedia. Pkbwcgs (talk) 13:09, 11 August 2017 (UTC)

So why should we unblock you if the English Wikipedia won't? Only (talk) 13:31, 11 August 2017 (UTC)

It doesn't seem like they've tried on-wiki. Perhaps sysops just missed their IRC request. (note that #wikipedia-en-unblock ^connect is the dedicated channel for unblocks) I'd recommend making an on-wiki request through the standard offer. That is provided, of course, that you have not been socking. I'd recommend citing your behaviour on commons and perhaps enwikt in your request. --George (Talk · Contribs · CentralAuth · Log) 13:36, 11 August 2017 (UTC)

I have made two previous unblock requests on English Wikipedia in January and both were declined. If I make another unconvincing deletion request and it is declined, I will probably lose access to changing my talk page. I don't if English Wikipedia will unblock my account or not but I just don't that it is worth making another request. The big question is whether the administrators will be convinced by my request or not. Pkbwcgs (talk) 14:10, 11 August 2017 (UTC)

You still haven't answered my question: why should we unblock you if English Wikipedia won't? Only (talk) 14:20, 11 August 2017 (UTC)

Here is the best answer I can give you at the moment: English Wikipedia didn't say they won't unblock me but I haven't made any unblock request as of now. I have been blocked on English Wikipedia for several months now but I will make a unblock request right now but I am 100% sure an administrator will decline it. In this case, I am willing to make an unblock request on English Wikipedia but I don't think it will be successful. However, I think this is the best step I can take in this situation. Hopefully, this should answer your question. Thank you very much, Pkbwcgs (talk) 15:17, 11 August 2017 (UTC)

I'd still encourage you to read en:WP:STANDARD. I don't see why you wouldn't be unblocked through this route. I don't see why you're "certain" that you will not be unblocked, unless there has been some sockpuppeting that we're not aware of. --George (Talk · Contribs · CentralAuth · Log) 17:16, 11 August 2017 (UTC)

I put my case forward on en:User Talk:Pkbwcgs. My fingers are crossed that it will work out but I still feel hopeless. Pkbwcgs (talk) 17:22, 11 August 2017 (UTC)

I have absolutely guessed the outcome correctly. English Wikipedia is not going to unblock me so I guess my hopes are absolutely up and I don't think I will ever be unblocked for the next twenty years or even more. Pkbwcgs (talk) 08:26, 5 September 2017 (UTC)

┌─────────────────────────────────┘
How do you know they're not going to unblock you on the English Wikipedia? You requested unblock...Vanjagenije said because of the nature of the block it'd need to go through the noticeboard, what statement would you like to put on there?...you didn't reply for three weeks so it was declined procedurally. The only reason your unblock request was denied at the moment was because you didn't respond. Only (talk) 10:30, 5 September 2017 (UTC)

I have made an unblock request two hours ago that is ready to go through on the noticeboard. As of now, I haven't got any response. Also, I haven't been banned on English Wikipedia. It clearly says 'In some cases, users who have been banned on other Wikimedia Foundation projects edit Simple English Wikipedia.' when I read about WP:ONESTRIKE. I have even got it clarified by Auntof6 on the 'Blocks and Bans' section on my talk page. I will wait for a response on the English Wikipedia but I am very busy at the moment so it took some delay to give a response. Pkbwcgs (talk) 10:39, 5 September 2017 (UTC)

And I copied your request to AN and already two have supported unblock. Only (talk) 11:20, 5 September 2017 (UTC)

@Only: Thanks for all your help! Now I have been unblocked on English Wikipedia, can I be unblocked here? Pkbwcgs (talk) 15:43, 5 September 2017 (UTC)

I'm very hesitant to do so. I look at your talk page on English Wikipedia and see four different issues that have arisen in the 2 days since you've been unblocked that make me question whether you have the proper competence. Only (talk) 20:34, 7 September 2017 (UTC)

Can you please unblock me now. There has been no trouble for the past few weeks on English Wikipedia, I promise. You can even see my talk page on English Wikipedia. Pkbwcgs (talk) 21:40, 30 November 2017 (UTC)

@Only: I would love to improve articles on trains and help out it cleaning up formatting. I have moved on from patrolling from all Wikis as you can see from my edit contributions. I have been granted AWB rights on 4 wikis and I have been happily helping out. Being blocked here means that it disables the right to help out Simple English Wikipedia and I am willing to help out. I promise. Pkbwcgs (talk) 11:46, 6 January 2018 (UTC)

@Caliburn: Thanks. Pkbwcgs (talk) 20:51, 23 January 2018 (UTC)

@Only: @Auntof6: Apparently, this IP has been harassing me on my talk page. Already, this IP's talk page access has been removed on English Wikipedia as the IP has also been harassing me there. Can you please block this IP. Thanks. Pkbwcgs (talk) 20:51, 20 October 2017 (UTC)

Quick deletion of Starks Park

The page you wrote, Starks Park, 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. Pkbwcgs (talk) 21:50, 25 January 2018 (UTC)

Vigilante

{{helpme}} Vigilante has been moved to Simple English Wiktionary. Does that mean that it should be deleted? And if so, which speedy deletion criterion should I use? Pkbwcgs (talk) 13:47, 28 January 2018 (UTC)

Anytime an article is moved to the Simple English Wiktionary, it's advisable to use either G6 (housekeeping) with an extra comment stating that the article was moved to Wiktionary, or a custom rationale. hiàn 04:53, 26 February 2018 (UTC)

Accidental revert

Sorry,it was accidental. I had the same problem yesterday and I'm currently resolving it. Please forgive me, it wasn't my wish :-). --DJ (✉ - ✔) 11:32, 4 March 2018 (UTC)

Sorry for disturbing,just a quick query,how do you make userboxes? --DJ (✉ - ✔) 11:36, 4 March 2018 (UTC)

@It'zDJPerez: Hi. One day, I clicked onto an infobox and I was interested in how it is made. I looked into the syntax and I amended it to make my own infobox. For example,

{{userbox | border-c = #E6E6FA | id = [[File:Coat_of_Arms_of_The_City_of_London.svg|40px]] | id-c = #E6E6FA | info = This user lives in '''[[London]]''', the capital city of [[England]]. | info-c = red | info-fc = {{{info-fc|black}}} | info-s = {{{info-s|8}}} | usercategory = Wikipedians in England | nocat = {{{nocat|}}} }}<noinclude> <br style="clear:both" /> is the syntax for User:Pkbwcgs/User lives in London. border-c represents the colour of the border, id is the image that you want in the infobox, info is the information you want in the infobox, info-c is the colour of the infobox, info-fc is the font colour of the information in the infobox, info-s is the font size of the information, usercategory is the category the user would be placed in if they put that infobox and I don't know what nocat is. I hope this helps. Thanks. Pkbwcgs (talk) 11:45, 4 March 2018 (UTC)

@Pkbwcgs: its funny how you discovered it, curiosity haha! Well thanks so much lemme go test it on my sandbox. ;-) --DJ (✉ - ✔) 11:53, 4 March 2018 (UTC)

@It'zDJPerez: Curiosity also made me discover that there was a tool called CopyPatrol to find Copyright Violations. I used to spend hours looking through around 200 drafts a day for copyright violations and now it takes me minutes to look for them. Pkbwcgs (talk) 12:08, 4 March 2018 (UTC)

@Pkbwcgs: I'm astonished at you find stuff. Well,its been nice teaching some cool stuff here. :-). --DJ (✉ - ✔) 12:16, 4 March 2018 (UTC)

@It'zDJPerez: Thanks. Before I go. I have one more thing to teach you. If you ever wondered to be an admin on any Wiki but it felt like a long way away, go on PublicTestWiki and create an account and request adminship there. They give admin rights to any account. I never knew this before until I checked where I can test admin permissions. I got admin rights on that PublicTestWiki and TheTestWiki (). Check this out! You can create an account and request admin rights there. The bureaucrats give it to any account over there. Pkbwcgs (talk) 12:22, 4 March 2018 (UTC)

Whaaaaaaaat! You guy! Respect. We have a LOT to talk! Unfortunately, Im going back to school tomorrow at 9:30 a.m(GMT) . BUT, i have access to the school's internet so we'll def. talk there (on specific times). Anyways,have a great day mahn :-)--DJ (✉ - ✔) 12:40, 4 March 2018 (UTC)

Vandals at WP:VIP

I'm watching account creation and recent changes and reporting all of them to stewards on IRC as soon as I notice it. Thank's for reverting their vandalism :) _{Vermont | reply here} 17:16, 15 March 2018 (UTC)

Their IP was just locked too, so it should stop. _{Vermont | reply here} 17:17, 15 March 2018 (UTC)

@Vermont: You are very welcome and Huggle speeds up reverting vandalism. It takes ages to load up New Changes so it done much easier with Huggle. Pkbwcgs (talk) 17:45, 15 March 2018 (UTC)

When I'm patrolling it's usually in the #cvn-simplewikis IRC channel, where the counter vandalism bot reports possible vandal edits as they show up. _{Vermont | reply here} 19:10, 15 March 2018 (UTC)
