Unblock Request 2
I politely explained my reasoning for making those edits and asked to hear why they were interpreted as vandalism. You can't just say it was vandalism and obviously trolling while ignoring the reasons I gave for the edits. 67.60.186.104 (talk) 00:30, 22 November 2022 (UTC) is now erasing my polite questions instead of answering them and helping me understand what I did wrong. I still have recieved absolutely no explanation on what the problems with my edits actually were.
 * My original assessment is correct. You're either trolling or don't have the competence required to edit here productively.-- Ponyo bons mots 00:17, 22 November 2022 (UTC)
 * , should we extend the block? – Muboshgu (talk) 00:19, 22 November 2022 (UTC)
 * There's no need at this point as the IP may be reassigned IPs by the time this block expires, though yanking talk page access might save some admin time and effort if these are the types of appeals we can expect.-- Ponyo bons mots 00:22, 22 November 2022 (UTC)
 * Please explain why my edits were improper. I have recieved no explanation and have been accused of trolling, even though I gave my reasons.
 * You changed most references to Gov. DeSantis' name to say DeathSantis. Unless that is actually his name, this is improper. I haven't erased any questions. I initially removed your duplicate posting but restored it. 331dot (talk) 00:46, 22 November 2022 (UTC)
 * I already explained that the name "DeathSantis" is a more accurate representation of who he is and communicates more information on his background than the name "DeSantis" does. All using the "proper" name does is bias the article in his favor. Why do you disagree with that? Are you a supporter of DeathSantis? 67.60.186.104 (talk) 00:58, 22 November 2022 (UTC)
 * Whether I support Gov. DeSantis or not is immaterial. What you did was improper, and since you seem to think it was okay, you won't be unblocked early. In fact, I'm going to extend the block. 331dot (talk) 07:53, 22 November 2022 (UTC)
 * Block is now two weeks. It won't be removed early until you describe how your edits were improper, and the proper way to add information about Gov. DeSantis' covid policies and their effects(if it isn't already present). Specifically, see neutral point of view. 331dot (talk) 07:55, 22 November 2022 (UTC)


 * Talk page access revoked due to continued trolling.-- Ponyo bons mots 17:15, 22 November 2022 (UTC)
 * Hello, I was politely explaining the reasons I found my edits to be justified and were not improper. Instead of responding to my arguments and explaining why the edits were improper, I was accused of trolling and my block was extended for two weeks. If I get my block extended for politely asking questions so that I can understand what my mistake was, then what is the proper way for me to handle these situations beyond blindly agreeing? 67.60.186.104 (talk) 05:08, 14 December 2022 (UTC)

Hello, I'm SunDawn. I wanted to let you know that I reverted one of your recent contributions—specifically this edit to 1968 United States presidential election in Texas—because it did not appear constructive. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. If you have any questions, you can ask for assistance at the Teahouse or the Help desk. Thanks. &maltese; SunDawn &maltese;   (contact)   09:36, 1 June 2023 (UTC)

You may be blocked from editing without further warning the next time you disrupt Wikipedia, as you did at John de Lancie. - FlightTime  ( open channel ) 01:12, 7 December 2023 (UTC)

Disputes
I closed your ANI discussion. What you described was a minor content dispute. And a minor, trivial one at that. Issues like that do not belong on ANI.

When you find yourself in situations like that, please follow WP:BRD and discuss on the article talk page until you come to a WP:CONSENSUS on how to move forward. Thanks. Sergecross73  msg me  00:34, 8 December 2023 (UTC)


 * Hello, I explained the edit issue mainly to give background, my complaint and main reason I filed the report was FlightTime's frivolous warning that they sent me. Reverting an edit twice and giving reasons both times is not "disrupting Wikipedia", and if it was then FlightTime also reverted an edit twice but they didn't even give reasons. So the warning they sent threatening to get me blocked from editing was an abuse of their power I felt was worth reporting. 67.60.186.104 (talk) 02:53, 8 December 2023 (UTC)
 * You were incorrect, that was not, in fact, worth reporting. This was way too minor to report. Things like "getting reverted twice" and "receiving a warning you don't agree with" are not the sort of thing you should be reporting to ANI. As one off events, they're not serious enough to warrant having any action taken beyond getting an admin to say something like "Hey don't forget to use edit summaries" or "when disputes arise, you need to follow BRD". Sergecross73   msg me  03:04, 8 December 2023 (UTC)
 * Fair enough, but I would like to clarify about the warning. I was under the impression that warnings were like blocks in that only admins could give them out. I see now that I was mistaken about that, so I just want to make sure that the warnings do not actually make a future block more likely or serve as a legitimate threat for a block. If it isn't, then I agree that this was not worth me reporting (although still bad behavior on FlightTime's part). But if this is something that makes it more likely for me to be blocked in the future, then I think it was an abuse of power on their part that does need to be penalized. Thank you. 67.60.186.104 (talk) 03:12, 8 December 2023 (UTC)
 * It all depends. If an admin perceives a warning as correct, and perceived a future action of yours to be similar, then yes, it could lead to a future block. If they saw it as incorrect, or if you never did something similar to what the warning alleges, then not so much.
 * My two cents: The truth is somewhere in the middle. I wouldn't call your edits itself disruptive - you were just rearranging already present information that doesn't appear to be disputed. However, it could be seen as disruptive in the way that you didn't follow WP:BRD and instead just argued through edit summaries.
 * So, if it would be, I wouldn't hold the warning against you as a disruptive editor, but I'd probably hold it against you if you continued to not use the talk page to solve disputes. FlightTime is largely guilty of lazy use of vague template (pre-written) warnings. They just caused confusion. It's why I rarely use them.
 * But, at the same time, editors often don't write out detailed warnings to anonymous, IP editors because they often never return to see the warning. Many make an editor or two and disappear forever. It's why I'd recommend making an account.
 * Also keep in mind - if there are warnings you disagree with, you're free to leave a comment explaining why you dispute them. Or delete them outright (though admin may look through your page history and see them anyways too.)
 * Anyways, I hope that answers your question. Sergecross73   msg me  04:03, 8 December 2023 (UTC)
 * Thanks for the answer, all of that was very fair! I will add a minor point that FlightTime did not follow WP:BRD either (it clearly states to give specific reasons for reverting & they themselves reverted a 2nd time), so that is hypocritical on their part if that was the reason for the warning. I could just have easily given them a warning for the same thing. But since a warning doesn't mean what I thought it did, I agree that I shouldn't have sent the ANI report. 67.60.186.104 (talk) 05:53, 8 December 2023 (UTC)
 * A warning is just that, a warning that you're getting into deeper water. They are meant to get your attention that something appears to be amiss. They are not mini-blocks or anything of the sort, and are meant to interrupt behavior before it turns into a block or an ANI report. Many editors give our several a day for various reasons. They re necessarily general, and whether the specific word "disruptive" is featured or not, they are meant to communicate that a problem exists. Being convinced of the rightness of your edit does not mean that everybody will agree, or that those who disagree need the same treatment that the initiator receives. You tried to make a mountain out of a molehill, something that receives scant sympathy, and you shold not be surprised that your calls for some kind of sanction against your perceived opponent were discarded. Being convinced of the rightness of an edit you initiated is not justification for dudgeon when it's not met with universal approval, or for walls of text instead of simple, succinct discussion.  Acroterion   (talk)   13:20, 8 December 2023 (UTC)
 * That's fair, and if I was not mistaken about what a warning is, I would not have sent the report. 67.60.186.104 (talk) 16:23, 8 December 2023 (UTC)
 * Thanks for understanding.  Acroterion   (talk)   22:35, 8 December 2023 (UTC)

I just made an account
Hello, I am the user who has been ip editing on 67.60.186.104 recently, relating to the John de Lancie issue. I plan to travel soon and therefore be on dynamic ips that aren't this one, so to solve this issue I decided to make this account. EpicTiger87 (talk) 19:03, 9 December 2023 (UTC)

Unblock Request

 * When you write, you are incorrect. The block was indefinite and has not expired. Please see User talk:DefenderOfTheElderly for verification. You cannot edit Wikipedia from any IP address or any other account as long as that block stands. Cullen328 (talk) 19:25, 7 February 2024 (UTC)
 * Wait, you're saying I'm still blocked for something from 5 years ago? How is that fair? I thought blocks expired after just a few weeks. Anyways, this still does not justify my complaint being bizarrely removed for the age of the incident, when the fact still remains that it is still something that happened, and something that the user was never punished for. Also, how can I appeal the account block when I lost the password for that account? 67.60.186.104 (talk) 19:29, 7 February 2024 (UTC)
 * While we do block users indefinitely, we cannot expect sanctions to happen for conduct five years ago because it would simply be punitive to block on such evidence given that you have given no evidence that damage to Wikipedia would be prevented by sanctioning Boing! said Zebedee. As to your indef block, it is your responsibility to write an unblock request that will successfully convince administrators that you understand why the block occured, and what steps you will take to ensure it will not reoccur. You would need to clearly disclaim your alternate accounts, and cite the fact you lost the password for your original as the reason why you are appealing at this IP address; I would hesitate to make an new account at this time due to the high chance it will be mistaken as block evasion.
