Francis Schonken - ban from the project?
On 10 May 2021 as a result of the discussion above, Cullen328 issued an indefinite block for. At the suggestion of another editor, I write to propose that the indefinite ban of Francis Schonken be converted to a community ban from the project and that, if consensus is achieved, the account be added to Category:Banned Wikipedia users.

I base this proposal on:
 * (a) the conduct in my original post (above) that led to the indefinite ban.
 * (b) the history of (now) 9 blocks with no evidence that any of them led to long-lasting changes of behavior.
 * (c) the failure, despite being an active editor for more than 15 years, to understand (or maybe "to accept") how consensus works, as reported by WhatamIdoing above based on this exchange (see another example here).
 * (d) the continuation of inappropriate behavior after receiving a final warning for edit warring:

Edit warring after final warning
