Broadcast times[edit]

Would you mind telling me where you got the broadcast times in this edit from? Let's start with Australia's AV15+; I find it a little strange that this rating has a broadcast time when it is deprecated. Sinc eyou have not provide a source either in the article itself or even the edit summary it is difficult to verify its accuracy. Betty Logan (talk) 01:12, 10 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

See AV15+ part in Television content rating system#Australia.Zenkaino lovelive (talk) 05:15, 10 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Empty rows[edit]

You have added several "empty" rows to the tables at content rating articles, such as at Motion picture content rating system, Television content rating system and Video game content rating system. Would you mind explaining why you are doing this? Adding empty rows are pointless because they don't tell the reader anything, and can even be misleading because it can imply the country does not have any content ratings. Betty Logan (talk) 22:03, 27 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I'm intended to help that another person fill in empty rows :)Zenkaino lovelive (talk) 22:05, 27 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Well you obviously know how to edit the table so why don't you just do it yourself? If another editor wants to add a country I am sure they are perfectly capable of creating the entry themselves. Betty Logan (talk) 22:07, 27 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]
I'll not just do that. BTW, you have not changed Television content rating system and Mobile software content rating system articles.Zenkaino lovelive (talk) 22:21, 27 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Not changed them in what way? There are no empty rows as far as I can see. Betty Logan (talk) 22:32, 27 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Unchanged things are not empty lows. My meaning is, "they are not enhanced".Zenkaino lovelive (talk) 22:36, 27 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Altering the symbols[edit]

You have altered the symbols on several ratings articles, such as here. In many of these cases you are removing an integral part of the symbol and I had to spend over an hour restoring them this evening. You have since implemented the same edit at Television content rating system using a misleading edit summary. You did a lot more than fill in blank sections. It is not my job to clean up after you. If you want to remove surplus symbols where they are not part of the actual rating symbol then by all means do so, but do not remove legitimate symbols where they are part of the rating! Betty Logan (talk) 04:54, 28 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I won't do that but I intended "readability". BTW, I do NOT know if surplus symbols are part of the actual rating symbol in specific systems!!Zenkaino lovelive (talk) 07:01, 28 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]
I understand that you are trying to help but the symbols need to match what people will see. Many of the summaries and sources contain images of the ratings e.g. Motion_picture_content_rating_system#Argentina. Betty Logan (talk) 07:20, 28 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Would you mind if you help Television content rating system article? As I told, I do not know if surplus symbols are part of the actual rating symbol in specific systems.Zenkaino lovelive (talk) 07:23, 28 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Original research[edit]

Would you care to explain this edit and this one whereby you change the age ranges for the parantel guidance ratings for Australia and New Zealand, labelling your edit as "improving readability". First of all you have mis-labelled your edit which is a breach of policy. Second of all, neither the New Zealand or Australian rating boards issue age guidance for the PG ratings, so will you please tell me where you are getting this information from? Per WP:Verifiability all factual claims must be sourced. Betty Logan (talk) 11:03, 9 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

What you say is true but you said once in Talk:Motion picture content rating system#Edit request. See: --Zenkaino lovelive (talk) 11:31, 9 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]
UK, Malta and Ireland PG recommends parental supervision for children 8 and over.(but under 12)211.203.35.206 (talk) 11:56, 13 February 2018 (UTC)Ireland recommends parental supervision for under 12's. Malta and the UK use the same system, and they don't have an upper limit, but they have the 12 rating which does not require parental supervision for 12 and over, so this suggests a sensible upper-bound for PG. Betty Logan (talk) 18:09, 13 February 2018 (UTC)

Besides, currently, Australian PG is set yellow in 0-14 in Video game content rating system. It shows that sensible upper-bound is 15 since yellow says 'parental guidance recommended for designed age range'.

You do not seem to understand how the PG highlighting works: the highlighting applies to the range that parental guidance is recommend. It is not the same as restricted rating. The UK and Irish film boards specifically state that PG-rated films are for 8 year olds and over, so the guidance range applies to 8–12. On the other hand the ACB specifically states PG rated material is "is not recommended for viewing or playing by persons under 15 without guidance from parents or guardians". It gives no lower age limit for the ratings, so the range applies to 1–14. New Zealand does not specify an age at all, so it is a reasonable assumption the guidance finishes when the next rating starts. Betty Logan (talk) 12:17, 9 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

However, in BBFC official site (bbfc.co.uk), PG rating doesn't state that under 12 recommended parental guidance. BBFC clearly says that PG is "parental guidance for younger audiences" (no upper-bound).Zenkaino lovelive (talk) 12:25, 9 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

The BBFC is not advising parents to show unsuitable material to children; it is saying that the content is suitable for children over the age of 8 with parental discretion. It works exactly the same way as Ireland's PG rating. I have lived in both the UK and Ireland so I know how their ratings work! Betty Logan (talk) 12:54, 9 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

"M" rating[edit]

New Zealand's "M" rating is avisory and carries a "16" age recommendation as can be seen on the label: https://www.classificationoffice.govt.nz/assets/Images/general/labels/labels-M-373.gif. The advice for given at https://www.classificationoffice.govt.nz/blog/m-label/ does not give an age recommendation, except to say that films with the "M" rating tend to be based on subject matter popular with the "10+ age group". That's not the same as saying the films are suitable for anybody over 10. Harry Potter films have carried many different ratings, ranging from PG to 12A and PG13. To say that any film with an "M" rating is suitable for anyone over the age of 10 is misleading when the label itself gives a recommendation of 16. Betty Logan (talk) 13:08, 9 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

But YOU have changed M to 10+ in 2016. See [1], [2]. M rating has been 10+ since your edit, but currently not. Why did you do that, and why have you self-reverted? Besides, currently, NZ table setting is very odd. 13 is prohibitive, but 16 is advisory??Zenkaino lovelive (talk) 07:34, 10 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]
A film might have a mature theme but not contain prohibitive content meaning it is not suitable for younger audiences but not prohibitive for them to watch either. In that sense it is no different to Australia's M/M15 distinction. As for my alteration I cannot recall the reason, but if I had been aware of an age on the label then obviously I would not have altered it, so we can conclude that i) I did not notice the age on the label or ii) the age has been added to the label since. I think it is pretty interesting the description doesn't give an age and it only appears on the label making it easy to overlook, but either way, the label indisputably says "16" on it now. Betty Logan (talk) 11:25, 10 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]
What you said is MA15, not M15. However, currently, NZ table setting is still very odd. 13 is less than 16. NZ 13/15 is prohibitive, NZ RP13 is restrictive but M(16+) is advisory?? This seems extremely odd to me. Also, you have once said in Talk:Television content rating system#Portugal 10 12 16. See: --Zenkaino lovelive (talk) 13:10, 10 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]
It seems that its meaning is "intended for 16 and over", not "prohibited to anyone under 16". Its color should be purple. Am I incorrect?211.203.35.206 (talk) 23:14, 8 February 2018 (UTC)If the lower categories require parental consent (in NZ's case: RP13 (for 13+)) for viewers under those ages the adult category (in NZ's case: M (for 16+). M is adult material) is hardly going to be an advisory category that does not require parental consent, is it? It is obvious from the wording of all the categories together that the adult category is a hard category. This is not rocket science! Betty Logan (talk) 00:12, 9 February 2018 (UTC)

So, your previous setting (M is 10+) is natural for me, and also YOU, even if the label says 16+.[3][4]

  1. Portugal's ratings are not analogous. Portugal only has one tier of ratings; the 10AP and 12AP guidelines mandate parental supervision for children under the stated ages and the next rating up is 16, so it is reasonable to assume it is not less restrictive than the lower ratings. This is not the case for the "M" rating; the New Zealand classification board clearly states the classification is "unrestricted" and it clearly states that "M" rated films are for "mature audiences 16 years and over". Which part of that do you actually disagree with? New Zealand operates a three tier system (unrestricted, restricted and prohibitive) and M is not in the same tier as RP13 and R15, it is in the same tier as G and PG (i.e. unrestricted). R13 is technically more restrictive than RP18 (because a 12 year-old can watch RP18 but not R13); this is not a contradiction because New Zealand operates a three tier system. Betty Logan (talk) 13:36, 10 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  2. Also, the New Zealand board has made the labels clearer. Here is what it looks like now: https://www.classificationoffice.govt.nz/find-ratings/new-zealands-classification-labels/ (the label is clear enough to read and you can make out the 16 on it). Here is what it looked like when I made the change: https://web.archive.org/web/20140530004529/http://classificationoffice.govt.nz/search-for-a-classification/new-zealands-classification-labels.html (it is impossible to read the label). Betty Logan (talk) 13:47, 10 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  3. Also, you have doctored my quote above to make it appear I am discussing New Zealand. Here is my actual comment, which is very different in form and content and I do not discuss New Zealand at all. If you want to quote me then that is fair enough, but quote me verbatim without doctoring my comment plz. Betty Logan (talk) 13:54, 10 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

What are rating systems having 2+ tier systems? (games, movie and TV) I don't know since I've got only a little knowlegde for rating.Zenkaino lovelive (talk) 22:54, 10 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Most 2-tier systems are usually between cinema and video (like Pirtugal), or between advisory and restricted (like Australia). New Zealand probably has the most complicated system it has ten ratings spread across three tiers (advisory, restricted and prohibitive). It probably holds the record for most ratings.

      • There is no need to have some explicit note forbidding users from socking in an RfC. If anyone thinks it's OK to participate in a discussion where votes and opinions are counted under two different accounts, then that's not a person with very high ethical standards. If you want this to be reconsidered in six months you will have to say very different things. Drmies (talk) 01:11, 5 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
    • What I participated in this discussion by using two different accounts (with User:ABOChannel) due to stagnated progression is really true. What I intended to trick others is very wrong and careless. I agree to my fault, therefore I won't trick others by using sockpuppet anymore. Also, I don't want to give bad effects like autoblock to innocent IP users and I never used multiple accounts until March 2019. Would you please believe me and unblock me within 24 hours?

  • I haven't looked at checkuser data yet, but this user has been asking about being unblocked in the IRC channels pretty regularly, despite being told to wait for the 6 months. I'm not surprised they were trying to find other ways around the block as well. Plus, to one of the more useful questions for a standard offer unblock - asking what productive edits we can expect to see if they are unblocked - the only answer we have is "Various". Not an especially compelling argument, in my opinion. ST47 (talk) 23:51, 6 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • The only reason that I am not declining this unblock request now is that Berean Hunter has invited another checkuser to look at this and offer a second opinion, so I am willing to allow time for that to happen. User:UTRSBot/notifyUser is an obscure page, rarely edited, and never edited in the years since it was created by anyone who is not an administrator apart from one edit, that edit being made by an editor using an IP address in a range known to have been used by this editor, while this editor had an appeal at UTRS pending. The edit had every appearance of being intended to speed up response to a UTRS appeal. This editor has a history of impatience with having to wait for unblock appeals and a habit of pestering administrators to hurry things up, in various ways. Asking us to believe that, purely by chance coincidence, someone completely unrelated to this editor made that edit, from the same IP range, and with other characteristics that led a CU to say that he knew (not suspected) it was the same person, is asking us to believe in a remarkably big chance coincidence. And the person asking us to believe that is a devious and persistently dishonest editor, with a prolonged history of lying and lying and lying again. And then there are all the other reasons for thinking that she shouldn't be unblocked... JBW (talk) Formerly JamesBWatson 11:21, 7 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I evaded block by using 3 IPs (198.16.76.28, 175.223.27.43 and 175.223.3.71), and the last day is 6 Oct 2019. 6 months later, now, I understand, what sockpuppetry and block evasion are, and I'll follow the rules and use only one account in any article, discussion, and votes. Even, I won't edit by using IP anymore. Plus, I won't lie anymore about my evasion. I'd like to use the account "Zenkaino lovelive". Could you please unblock me? Thank you for your consideration. My apologizes:

  • i) Why I was lying about socking as recently as December: I'm sorry. I just wanted to ignore it.
  • ii) Whether I explain their socking policy in my own words: Only one account should be used per a person.
  • iii) Why I was wrong to create another account: Because I was going to win unfairly in the RfC.
  • iv) Whether I explain block evasion in my own words: Using another account or IP when I blocked.
  • v) Why I did block evasion: Sorry. I just wanted to hurty up unblock process.
  • vi) What led to my block before: Socking.
  • vii) What I'll do to avoid this in the future: Only this account will be used.
  • viii) Why I've been bothering the IRC channels: Very sorry. I just wanted to communicate with others. Zenkaino lovelive (talk) 22:08, 8 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Decline reason:

I have declined this appeal as having clear consensus against it. As such, this is now a community ban in addition to a CU block and can only be lifted by appeal to the community at AN. I am also removing your talk page access again, consistent with the banning policy and your status before the appeal. TonyBallioni (talk) 23:00, 9 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]


If you want to make any further unblock requests, please read the guide to appealing blocks first, then use the {{unblock}} template again. If you make too many unconvincing or disruptive unblock requests, you may be prevented from editing this page until your block has expired. Do not remove this unblock review while you are blocked.

@5 albert square: Please remove your AN report and let's discuss my unblock here.Zenkaino lovelive (talk) 22:27, 8 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Not so fast. I would decline the unblock and suggest removing TPA again. Your best hope is at AN. Awaiting community and check user input, --Deep fried okra User talk:Deepfriedokra 22:31, 8 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
"I've advised this user on UTRS that the SO is their only path to being unblocked, and that they should not request unblock before June 7th. 331dot (talk) 00:53, 9 December 2019 (UTC)" I see nothing here suggesting anything has changed. As far as CU is concerned, nothing interesting there. --jpgordon𝄢𝄆 𝄐𝄇 22:42, 8 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
@Jpgordon: Could you clarify as to whether that means recent socking or no recent socking? That might be germane. --Deep fried okra User talk:Deepfriedokra 23:13, 8 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
If there'd been recent socking I would have simply refused the request and extended the SO date. --jpgordon𝄢𝄆 𝄐𝄇 23:16, 8 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Reply to WP:AN#Unblock appeal user:Zenkaino lovelive[edit]

@ToBeFree:I waited 6 months after my last sock (6 Oct 2019). Is there any problem? Moreover, I don't know why talk page access or unblock appeal must be banned for me even if this is against the policy (Block must be preventive, not punitive.). I wonder (Note: I'm not banned, but blocked.) . Zenkaino lovelive (talk) 06:12, 9 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, there is a problem. "Six months with no edit" (WP:SO) and "not before June 7th" (response to your UTRS appeal by 331dot) is not today. Also, it is an essay, not a policy or guideline. You can't insist on a friendly offer's wording as if it were an absolute unblocking law. You are asking the community for an unblock, yet display an entitlement mentality that makes the community cringe. ~ ToBeFree (talk) 12:18, 9 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
@ToBeFree:What resets the six months timer? My talk page edit is neither socking or block evasion, but correct edit, so this cannot reset it, so User:331dot might be wrong. When I blocked is 16 years old, but the present time is 18 years old. Must I ask the community for the unblock? Zenkaino lovelive (talk) 13:15, 9 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@ST47:I stopped socking after 6 Oct 2019, and 6 months are passed. Lying also stopped after December. Zenkaino lovelive (talk) 06:12, 9 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Deepfriedokra:My last sock is 6 Oct 2019, so Standard offer is 6 April 2020 and later. 6 months timer will be reset when ONLY socking or block evasion occured, but the other cannot. User:331dot is wrong. Zenkaino lovelive (talk) 23:21, 8 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Red Phoenix:You claimed that I socked as late as January--what proof do we have of that? Please show me. Zenkaino lovelive (talk) 04:20, 9 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Yamla:Why is Wikipedia:Administrators'_noticeboard/IncidentArchive1028#Meta_email_use_by_blocked_sockmaster block evasion? I wonder. My last sock is 6 Oct 2019, but why should I not appeal until 7 Jun 2020 (in 8 months)? If I wait 6 months, it is April. Zenkaino lovelive (talk) 14:27, 9 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Shearonink and Javert2113:Why I blocked is just socking, and I waited 6 months. And I just evaded onlt 3 times, using IP, not account. Even, this is my first block. Please tolerate. Zenkaino lovelive (talk) 22:00, 9 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Nosebagbear:Why do I dislike of following a process, and why am I denying responsibility for my actions? I like following that and I know my responsibility for my socking, so I waited 6 months even if this is punitive. Zenkaino lovelive (talk) 22:06, 9 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Betty Logan:You reported me for socking, so I would like to hear your opinion. Zenkaino lovelive (talk) 22:12, 9 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Pythoncoder, SMcCandlish, and Redrose64:You all are joined in the RfC in Talk:Motion picture content rating system before I am blocked, so I would like to hear your opinion, too. Zenkaino lovelive (talk) 22:36, 9 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I'm late to the party, but don't really seem much of a reason to not unblock, per WP:ROPE. Either the user "gets it" now, or they don't, and [just a little] time will tell [quickly].  — SMcCandlish ¢ 😼  01:11, 11 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

UTRS 30802[edit]

  • Appeal declined and the next time that you may appeal is July 7, 2021. Don't want to hear from you in the meantime. Concerning the standard offer, the only edits at other projects that would be considered are those that you have done while logged into your account that has the same name as this one. Edits done as IPs do not count at all. Further, edits at namu wiki do not count towards the standard offer because that is not one of our projects.
  • Before any appeal is put forth to the community in 2021, I would want to question about your edits at other projects first. Any admin, please ping me.
  • If I see an email from you or you file another UTRS prior to that, the date will be changed to 2022.

July 2021 Unblock request[edit]

This user's unblock request has been reviewed by an administrator, who accepted the request.

Zenkaino lovelive (block logactive blocksglobal blockscontribsdeleted contribsfilter logcreation logchange block settingsunblockcheckuser (log))


Request reason:

Hello, admins. I'm asking for an unban. I've left enwiki because of my ban for socking. I think that the ban was necessary to make me change my ways. I understand now that socking is very wrong, because it is lying to the Wikipedia community. I'm sorry that I lied about socking December 2019. I just wanted to ignore it. Therefore, I'll disclose ALL my socks (Zenkaino lovelive (original), ABOChannel (sock), Steven Hansen (sock)), and I DIDN'T EDIT ALL WIKIPEDIA since Dec 2020, and did not sock since my last sock day. I evaded my block by using 3 IPs (198.16.76.28, 175.223.27.43 and 175.223.3.71). I'm told to and must not edit ANY Wikipedia. So, I'd like to ask that my ban be lifted. I'm strongly asking that the Wikipedia community would welcome me back into their midst. I understand that I will likely never be trustworthy, but I ask that I would at least be given another chance at the English Wikipedia. I understand that what I did was wrong. I understand that I initially got block for socking in the RfC, and then I tried to evade my block by socking again. I'm sorry for these. If I am allowed back on enwiki, I will only use Zenkaino lovelive account, in any edits, discussions, and votes. But sometimes IP will be used. At first, I thought that I was extremely mad about having the block, but as too long time went on, I came to realize that the blocking admin did the right thing, that my behavior at the time was getting out of hand, and that I take full responsibility for my actions that led to my block. Fortunately, 27 months have passed since I was sitewide indeffed from enwiki, and my mental health has recovered enough for me to contribute to Wikipedia. I have learned several things and I have grown in several ways during the time I was indefinitely blocked sitewide: I now understand that Wikipedia is built more on cooperating with other people than simply expanding easy access to knowledge, and that failing to do so may cause a systemic bias in Wikipedia's content or even result in losing my ability to contribute, especially when one of the two results in the other. I will never sock again. I understand that this is my second chance. I haven't edited ALL Wikipedia since December, including UTRS. Reliable sources are needed for any content and I won't cite unreliable sources. Also, if it seems incorrect, discuss first before putting it. I would make productive contributions by adding true information only, and if a conflict is occurred, I'll talk or discuss it first. I would like to contribute in language-related and Microsoft Windows-related articles, etc. Here are my contributions: [10], [11], [12]. Zenkaino lovelive (talk) 21:18, 8 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Accept reason:

Unblocked as per community consensus at Special:Diff/1033865245. You are restricted to a single account only; all your edits must be made while signed in. Note that you are expected to strictly adhere to MOS:ACCESS and to refrain from canvassing. It's uncommon to get a second chance like this, please please don't blow it. Welcome back, sincerely, and happy editing. Yamla (talk) 09:52, 16 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

  • Hi Zenkaino lovelive. The socking wasn't the only problematic aspect of your editing as I recall, and we must be satisfied that these other undesirable behavior traits will not resume upon unblocking you. I recall particularly one exasperating encounter with you whereby you persisted with replacing color schemes compliant with H:Colorblind at articles such as Motion picture content rating system with schemes that were not. Do you now accept it was disrespectful of you to behave in this way and that people with disabilities are a valued member of our community? Do we have your assurance that you will be mindful of MOS:ACCESS issues if you are permitted to edit again? Betty Logan (talk) 21:37, 8 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]
    @Betty Logan: I'll be mindful of that and I'll respect the people with disabilities. Zenkaino lovelive (talk) 01:27, 9 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

What should I do now? Several days have passed. Zenkaino lovelive (talk) 01:05, 14 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]
