 * In fairness to you, I won't review a second time, but please see the advice at the guide to appealing blocks, specifically the section Talk about yourself, not others. SQL Query me!  17:06, 17 February 2020 (UTC)


 * Well, from Administrators%27_noticeboard/IncidentArchive1023, you can clearly see that it was a bunch of wiki lawyering, mainly by ,, and about reliable sources. At least one of the sources mentioned in this edit by  qualifies as a reliable source. So does C-SPAN, which is what I was blocked for adding.


 * I was accused of disruptive editing and BLP violations even though I made those edits AFTER these WP:RS like the Boston Herald have published the name. So I did not disrupt Wikipedia in any way, just adding reliable source to discussions. In light of now knowing this information, you have to declare my block as unnecessary and unwarranted and unblock me. You can change your decision . 117.209.240.215 (talk) 18:02, 17 February 2020 (UTC)
 * As a courtesy I will not decline this request, since you've suggested some disagreement with my actions. However I am converting this block to a checkuser block. To be clear this is not directly connected to your recent disruption, though I do consider it disruptive. It is connected to your community ban and years of sockpuppetry which continue to this day. You are entitled to have a checkuser review this block. Admins may decline or comment on your unblock request based on the information presented above, by JzG or anyone else, by examining your range contributions, or on the basis that it should be appealed to the Arbitration Committee, however only a checkuser may review the full evidence as a step towards considering lifting this block (and this applies to the rest of your IPs). The full details are in the block message pr WP:GAB. -- zzuuzz (talk) 19:29, 17 February 2020 (UTC)


 * You were blocked for adding the speculated name of the whistleblower, evading blocks after you did so, evading the edit filter by changing the spelling and using external links, threatening to continue to block evade and post the speculated name, and continuing to do so long after it was obvious that it was not going to fly.
 * Your most recent edit filter hits were:
 * 2020-02-16T07:59:55: 117.209.208.124 (talk | block) triggered filter 1,008, performing the action "edit" on User talk:117.209.208.124. Actions taken: Disallow; Filter description: US politics BLP issue (details | examine)
 * 2020-02-16T07:57:14: 117.209.208.124 (talk | block) triggered filter 1,008, performing the action "edit" on User talk:117.209.208.124. Actions taken: Disallow; Filter description: US politics BLP issue (details | examine)
 * 2020-02-16T07:55:05: 117.209.208.124 (talk | block) triggered filter 1,008, performing the action "edit" on User talk:117.209.208.124. Actions taken: Disallow; Filter description: US politics BLP issue (details | examine)
 * That's as close to the textbook example of Wikipedia abuse as you can get. Sure, a couple of editors who have accounts and thus we can trace good faith edits in their history, have also added the name. This has generally not gone well for them, and is in any case completely irrelevant to your extensive history of block evasion and triggering, testing and occasionally bypassing the edit filter. The block is there to stop you from doing exactly what you have done determinedly and without any acceptance that Wikipedia has any legitimate interest in not being part of the harassment of the speculated whistleblower by the right. As a result you have caused significant changes to the edit filter and about a dozen rangeblocks. I don't think an unblock is likely or indeed wise. Guy (help!) 19:58, 17 February 2020 (UTC)


 * How the HECK did you make this edit? Are you allowed to just bypass the edit filter? 117.209.240.215 (talk) 21:36, 17 February 2020 (UTC)
 * I have no idea what you are talking about. Guy (help!) 22:10, 17 February 2020 (UTC)
